Abstract

Portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers are gaining interest as a non-destructive tool for fruit quality determination in the decade. In this study, the performance of the portable NIR spectrometer for TSS prediction of grapes was evaluated and compared to the benchtop spectrometer. A total of 105 table grapes were individually measured NIR spectra at short-wavelength (740 – 1070 nm) and long-wavelength NIR region (1000 – 2500 nm) using SCiO and NIRFlex N-500 spectrometers, respectively. Partial least square (PLS) regression analysis was performed on berry spectra from both devices afterward significant wavelengths were identified and used to develop multiple linear regression (MLR) models. The best PLS prediction model was obtained from SNV pretreating spectra for both devices and spectral data acquired from SCiO showed better prediction performance (= 0.854, SEP = 0.452°Brix) than NIRFlex N-500 spectra (= 0.667, SEP = 0.675°Brix). Low predicting ability was gained for the MLR calibration model for both device with an RPD of about 1.70. From the results, a pocket-size spectrometer has the potential to be a non-destructive sorting and screening tool in fruit industries.
