Ultra-violet, visible and near infrared (UV-VIS-NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was investigated for fast determination of soluble solids content (SSC) of tea beverage. In this study, a total of 120 tea samples with SSC range of 4.0-9.5 ºBrix were tested. Samples were randomly divided for calibration (n=90) and independent validation (n=30). Spectra were collected by a mobile fiber-type UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer in transmission mode with recorded wavelength range of 203.64-1128.05 nm. Various calibration approaches, i.e., principal components analysis (PCA), partial least squares (PLS) regression, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and back propagation artificial neural network (BPANN), were investigated. The combinations of PCA-BPANN, PCA-LSSVM, PLS-BPANN and PLS-LSSVM were also investigated to build calibration models. Validation results indicated that all these investigated models achieved high prediction accuracy. Especially, PLS-LSSVM achieved best performance with mean coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.99, root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.12 and residual prediction deviation (RPD) of 15.16. This experiment suggests that it is feasible to measure SSC of tea beverage using UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy coupled with appropriate multivariate calibration, which may allow using the proposed method for off-line and on-line quality supervision in the production of soft drink.

A near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy acquisition device was developed in this study using an apple as the test sample. With this device, the apple was rolled while collecting the NIR spectra. The feasibility of using efficient selection of wavelength regions in Fourier transform NIR for a rapid and conclusive determination of the inner qualities of fruit such as soluble solids content (SSC) of apples was investigated. Graphically-oriented local multivariate calibration modelling procedures called genetic algorithm interval partial least-squares (GA-iPLS) were applied to select efficient spectral regions that provide the lowest prediction error, in comparison to the full-spectrum model. The optimal SSC predictions were obtained from a seven-factor model using five intervals among 40 intervals selected by GA-iPLS. In the determination, a root mean square error of prediction of 0.42 °Brix for SSC of apples was obtained. The result demonstrated that the new method is a very useful and effective method for developing high precision PLS models based on optimal wavelength regions.

Abstract. This article reports on using a Fourier series expansion method to extract features from hyperspectral scattering profiles for apple fruit firmness and soluble solids content (SSC) prediction. Hyperspectral scattering images of ‘Golden Delicious’ (GD), ‘Jonagold’ (JG), and ‘Delicious’ (RD) apples, harvested in 2009 and 2010, were acquired using an online hyperspectral imaging system over the wavelength region of 500 to 1000 nm. The moment method and Fourier series expansion method were used to analyze the scattering profiles of apples. The zeroth-first order moment (Z-FOM) spectra and Fourier coefficients were extracted from each apple, which were then used for developing fruit firmness and SSC prediction models using partial least squares (PLS) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM). The PLS models based on the Fourier coefficients improved the standard errors of prediction (SEP) by 4.8% to 19.9% for firmness and by 2.4% to 13.5% for SSC, compared with the PLS models using the Z-FOM spectra. The LSSVM models for the prediction set of Fourier coefficients achieved better SEP results, with improvements of 4.4% to 11.3% for firmness and 2.8% to 16.5% for SSC over the LSSVM models for the Z-FOM spectra data and 3.7% to 12.6% for firmness and 5.4% to 8.6% for SSC over the PLS models for the Fourier coefficients. Experiments showed that Fourier series expansion provides a simple, fast, and effective means for improving Keywords: Apples, Firmness, Fourier series expansion, Hyperspectral scattering imaging, Least squares support vector machine, Partial least squares, Soluble solids content.

Aim of study: Developing models to determine soluble solids content (SSC) in cherry trees by means of Vis/NIR spectroscopy.Area of study: The Spanish Autonomous Community of Aragón (Spain).Material and methods: Vis/NIR spectroscopy was applied to Prunus avium fruit ‘Chelan’ (n=360) to predict total SSC using a range 400-2420 nm. Linear (PLS) and nonlinear (LSSVM) regression methods were applied to establish prediction models.Main results: The two regression methods applied obtained similar results (Rcv2=0.97 and Rcv2=0.98 respectively). The range 700-1060 nm attained better results to predict SSC in different seasons. Forty variables selected according to the variable selection method achieved Rcv2 value, 0.97 similar than full range.Research highlights: The development of this methodology is of great interest to the fruit sector in the area, facilitating the harvest for future seasons. Further work is needed on the development of the NIRS methodology and on new calibration equations for other varieties of cherry and other species.

Abstract Determination of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes quality plays an important role in commercial processing. In this research, a rapid approach based on near infrared spectroscopy was proposed to the determination of soluble solids content (SSC), pH, and total phenol content (TPC) in entire bunches of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Standardized normal variate (SNV) and competitive adaptive weighted sampling (CARS), genetic algorithm (GA), and synergy interval partial least squares (si-PLS) were used to optimize the spectral data. With optimal combination input, the prediction accuracy of partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector regression (SVR) models was compared. The results showed that these models based on variable optimization method could predict well the SSC, pH, and TPC of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The correlation coefficient of prediction for SSC, pH, and TPC had reached more than 0.85. This work provides an alternative to analyze the chemical parameters in whole bunch of Cabernet Sauvignon grape.
