Abstract
To investigate the effect of CPPU (forchlorfenuron) on optical properties of strawberry during growth, the optical properties (absorption coefficient (μa) and reduced scattering coefficient (μs')) of strawberry treated with CPPU solutions at different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 mg/L) were measured in white, color turning and red stages by using a single integrating sphere system over near-infrared wavelength range of 900-1700 nm. The physicochemical properties, i.e., single fruit weight, soluble solids content, firmness and moisture content, as well as microstructure of strawberry were also investigated. The results showed that in white stage, the μa of strawberry treated with 7.5 mg/L CPPU was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lower than that of untreated strawberry at absorption peak of 1411 nm. In color turning stage, the μs' of strawberry treated with 5 mg/L CPPU was significantly lower than that of treated with 2.5 mg/L at absorption peaks of 975, 1197 and 1411 nm. In red stage, the μa of strawberry treated with 2.5 mg/L CPPU was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) different from that of treated with 7.5 mg/L at 1197 nm. The study indicates that the optical properties of strawberry were affected by CPPU, and it provides useful information for identifying CPPU treated strawberry.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Milk somatic cell count (SCC) is an international standard for identifying mastitis in dairy cows and measuring raw milk quality. Milk SCC can be predicted based on dielectric relaxation parameters (DRPs). We noted a high correlation between DRPs and the milk composition content (MCC), and so we hypothesized that combining DRPs with MCC could improve the prediction accuracy of milk SCC. The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between milk SCC, DRPs and MCC, as well as to investigate the potential of combining DRPs with MCC to improve the prediction accuracy of milk SCC. RESULTS The dielectric spectra (20-4500 MHz) of 276 milk samples were measured, and their DRPs (εl, εh, Δε, τ and σ) were solved by the modified Debye equation. The SCC prediction models were developed using dielectric full spectra, DRPs and DRPs combined with MCC. The results showed the correlations between DRPs (εl, εh, Δε and σ) and MCC (fat, protein, lactose and total solids) were high, and SCC exhibited a non-linear relationship with DRPs and MCC. The 5DRPs + MCC-generalized regression neural network model had the best prediction, with a standard error of prediction for prediction of 0.143 log SCC mL-1 and residual of the prediction bias of 2.870, which was superior to the models based on full spectra, DRPs and near-infrared or visible/near-infrared. CONCLUSION The present study has improved the prediction accuracy of milk SCC based on the DRPs combing MCC and provides a new method for dairy farming and milk quality assessment. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 304:123402. [PMID: 37738767 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
Soluble solids content (SSC) is one of the most important internal quality attributes of fruit and could be predicted using near-infrared (NIR) spectra and optical properties. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) is a conventional regression method in SSC prediction. In recent years, deep learning methods represented by convolutional neural network (CNN) was suggested to be implied in spectral analysis. However, researchers are inevitably facing problems with regard to the selection of spectral pretreatment methods and the evaluation of the performance of the chosen regression. This study employed PLSR and CNN regression to predict SSC of apple based on the collected diffuse reflectance spectra of intact apple, total reflectance and total transmittance spectra of apple pulp, and the calculated optical property spectra, i.e., absorption coefficient and reduced scattering coefficient spectra of apple pulp. Five different spectral pretreatment methods were exerted on these spectra. Results showed that at a given regression (PLSR or CNN), the built models based on the diffuse reflectance spectra of intact apple had the best SSC prediction, and the built models based on pulp's reduced scattering coefficient spectra had the poorest prediction performance. The best prediction performance was achieved by PLSR models using Savitzky-Golay with multiple scattering correction (Rp = 0.96, RMSEP = 0.54 %) and CNN regressions using Savitzky-Golay with standard normal variational transformation (Rp = 0.95, RMSEP = 0.59 %), respectively. Additionally, when the unknown original spectra were used for modeling, CNN had a better performance compared to PLSR, indicating the outstanding preponderance of CNN in spectral analysis. This study provides an effective reference for the selection of chemometric method based on NIR spectra.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 24:174. [PMID: 38203035 PMCID: PMC10781302 DOI: 10.3390/s24010174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Pomological traits are the major factors determining the quality and price of fresh fruits. This research was aimed to investigate the feasibility of using two hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems in the wavelength regions comprising visible to near infrared (VisNIR) (400-1000 nm) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (935-1720 nm) for predicting four strawberry quality attributes (firmness-FF, total soluble solid content-TSS, titratable acidity-TA, and dry matter-DM). Prediction models were developed based on artificial neural networks (ANN). The entire strawberry VisNIR reflectance spectra resulted in accurate predictions of TSS (R2 = 0.959), DM (R2 = 0.947), and TA (R2 = 0.877), whereas good prediction was observed for FF (R2 = 0.808). As for models from the SWIR system, good correlations were found between each of the physicochemical indices and the spectral information (R2 = 0.924 for DM; R2 = 0.898 for TSS; R2 = 0.953 for TA; R2 = 0.820 for FF). Finally, data fusion demonstrated a higher ability to predict fruit internal quality (R2 = 0.942 for DM; R2 = 0. 981 for TSS; R2 = 0.976 for TA; R2 = 0.951 for FF). The results confirmed the potential of these two HSI systems as a rapid and nondestructive tool for evaluating fruit quality and enhancing the product's marketability.

Abstract
Spectrometers measure diffuse reflectance and create a "molecular fingerprint" of the material under investigation. Ruggedized, small scale devices for "in-field" use cases exist. Such devices might for example be used by companies in the food supply chain for inward inspection of goods. However, their application for the industrial Internet of Things workflows or scientific research is limited due to their proprietary nature. We propose an open platform for visible and near-infrared technology (OpenVNT), an open platform for capturing, transmitting, and analysing spectral measurements. It is built for use in the field, as it is battery-powered and transmits data wireless. To achieve high accuracy, the OpenVNT instrument contains two spectrometers covering a wavelength range of 400-1700 nm. We conducted a study on white grapes to compare the performance of the OpenVNT instrument against the Felix Instruments F750, an established commercial instrument. Using a refractometer as ground truth, we built and validated models to estimate the Brix value. As a quality measure, we used coefficient of determination of the cross-validation (R2CV) between the instrument estimation and ground truth. With 0.94 for the OpenVNT and 0.97 for the F750, a comparable R2CV was achieved for both instruments. OpenVNT matches the performance of commercially available instruments at one tenth of the price. We provide an open bill of materials, building instructions, firmware, and analysis software to enable research and industrial IOT solutions without the limitations of walled garden platforms.

Abstract
The rapid and convenient detection of maturity is of great significance to determine the harvest time and postharvest storage conditions of apples. In this study, a portable visible and near-infrared (VIS/NIR) analysis device prototype was developed based on a multispectral sensor and applied to ‘Fuji’ apple maturity detection. The multispectral data of apples with maturity variation was measured, and the prediction model was established by a least-square support vector machine and linear discriminant analysis. Due to the low resolution of the multispectral data, regular preprocessing methods cannot improve the prediction accuracy. Instead, the spectral shape features (spectral ratio, spectral difference, and normalized spectral intensity difference) were used for preprocessing and model establishment, and the combination of the three features effectively improved the model performance with a prediction accuracy of 88.46%. In addition, the validation accuracy of the optimal model was 84.72%, and the area under curve (AUC) value of each maturity level was higher than 0.8972. The results show that the multispectral sensor is an appliable choice for the development of the portable detection device of apple maturity, and the data processing method proposed in this study provides a potential solution to improve the detection accuracy for multispectral sensors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The chemical compounds in coffee are important indicators of quality. Its composition varies according to several factors related to the planting and processing of coffee. Thus, this study proposed to use near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) associated with partial least squares (PLS) regression to estimate quickly some chemical properties (moisture content, soluble solids, and total and reducing sugars) in intact green coffee samples. For this, 250 samples produced in Brazil were analyzed in the laboratory by the standard method and also had their spectra recorded. RESULTS The calibration models were developed using PLS regression with cross-validation and tested in a validation set. The models were elaborated using original spectra and preprocessed by five different mathematical methods. These models were compared in relation to the coefficient of determination, root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV), root mean square error of test set validation (RMSEP), and ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) and demonstrated different predictive capabilities for the chemical properties of coffee. The best model was obtained to predict grain moisture and the worst performance was observed for the soluble solids model. The highest determination coefficients obtained for the samples in the validation set were equal to 0.810, 0.516, 0.694 and 0.781 for moisture, soluble solids, total sugar, and reducing sugars, respectively. CONCLUSION The statistics associated with these models indicate that NIR technology has the potential to be applied routinely to predict the chemical properties of green coffee, and in particular, for moisture analysis. However, the soluble solid and total sugar content did not show high correlations with the spectroscopic data and need to be improved. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Sweet bell peppers are a Solanaceous fruit belonging to the Capsicum annuum L. species whose consumption is popular in world gastronomy due to its wide variety of colors (ranging green, yellow, orange, red, and purple), shapes, and sizes and the absence of spicy flavor. In addition, these fruits have a characteristic flavor and nutritional attributes that include ascorbic acid, polyphenols, and carotenoids. A quality criterion for the harvest of this fruit is maturity; this attribute is visually determined by the consumer when verifying the color of the fruit’s pericarp. The present work proposes an artificial vision system that automatically describes ripeness levels of the bell pepper and compares the Fuzzy logic (FL) and Neuronal Networks for the classification stage. In this investigation, maturity stages of bell peppers were referenced by measuring total soluble solids (TSS), ° Brix, using refractometry. The proposed method was integrated in four stages. The first one consists in the image acquisition of five views using the Raspberry Pi 5 Megapixel camera. The second one is the segmentation of acquired image samples, where background and noise are removed from each image. The third phase is the segmentation of the regions of interest (green, yellow, orange and red) using the connect components algorithm to select areas. The last phase is the classification, which outputs the maturity stage. The classificatory was designed using Matlab’s Fuzzy Logic Toolbox and Deep Learning Toolbox. Its implementation was carried out onto Raspberry Pi platform. It tested the maturity classifier models using neural networks (RBF-ANN) and fuzzy logic models (ANFIS) with an accuracy of 100% and 88%, respectively. Finally, it was constructed with a content of ° Brix prediction model with small improvements regarding the state of art.

Abstract
Apple is the most widely planted fruit in the world and is popular in consumers because of its rich nutritional value. In this study, the portable near-infrared (NIR) transmittance spectroscopy coupled with temperature compensation and chemometric algorithms was applied to detect the storage quality of apples. The postharvest quality of apples including soluble solids content (SSC), vitamin C (VC), titratable acid (TA), and firmness was evaluated, and the portable spectrometer was used to obtain near-infrared transmittance spectra of apples in the wavelength range of 590-1,200 nm. Mixed temperature compensation method (MTC) was used to reduce the influence of temperature on the models and to improve the adaptability of the models. Then, variable selection methods, such as uninformative variable elimination (UVE), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), and successive projections algorithm (SPA), were developed to improve the performance of the models by determining characteristic variables and reducing redundancy. Comparing the full spectral models with the models established on variables selected by different variable selection methods, the CARS combined with partial least squares (PLS) showed the best performance with prediction correlation coefficient (R p) and residual predictive deviation (RPD) values of 0.9236, 2.604 for SSC; 0.8684, 2.002 for TA; 0.8922, 2.087 for VC; and 0.8207, 1.992 for firmness, respectively. Results showed that NIR transmittance spectroscopy was feasible to detect postharvest quality of apples during storage.
