Color compensation and comparison of shortwave near infrared and long wave near infrared spectroscopy for determination of soluble solids content of 'Fuji' apple

摘要

Shortwave near infrared (SWNIR) and long wave near infrared (LWNIR) spectroscopy with a novel color compensation method were compared to predict soluble solids content of apple. Linear and nonlinear regression models were considered. Eventually, independent component analysis-support vector machine (ICA-SVM) models proved to be superior to other nonlinear models. R-p was 0.9398 and RMSEP was 0.3870% for the optimal model of SWNIR, while R-p was 0.9455 and RMSEP was 03691% for that of LWNIR. Moreover, the results showed that color compensation could significantly improve the prediction performance of SWNIR model. Our work implies that SWNIR with color compensation has an obvious prospect in practical industrial use for real-time monitoring apple quality. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
