The quality of sweet tamarind fruit, as determined by its total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), and TSS/TA ratio, is important for consumer satisfaction. Nondestructive techniques are therefore required to assess the quality of sweet tamarind fruit. This study investigated whether near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) in the wavelength range of 935–1720 nm can be used as a non-destructive method to assess TSS, TA, and the TSS/TA ratio of sweet tamarind fruit and to classify it under commercial standards. NIR-HSI-based chemometric and machine-learning modeling was applied for quantification and qualification analyses. Calibration models for determining TSS, TA, and the TSS/TA ratio were developed using partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector machine regression (SVMR). A combination of first derivative and SNV spectral pretreatment was optimized to establish an SVMR model for TSS determination. MSC spectral pretreatment was optimized to develop the SVMR model for TA assessment, and the first derivative spectral pretreatment was optimized to establish an SVMR model for the TSS/TA ratio. Correlation coefficients of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) of 0.959, 0.961 and 0.957 were obtained with root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) of 1.102%, 0.369% and 7.850, and a ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) of 3.29, 3.52 and 3.34 for the TSS, TA, and TSS/TA ratio evaluations, respectively. Partial least squares–discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine classification (SVMC) were used for classifying sweet tamarind fruit under a commercial acidity standard (≤4%). The SVMC with SNV spectral pretreatment produced the best prediction results for distinguishing standard and off-standard sweet tamarind fruit with an 82.86% accuracy. NIR HSI can be used to non-destructively predict the quality of tamarind fruit. It can be applied for online sorting to evaluate individual sweet tamarind fruits for grading and quality control in factory environments.

Potassium sorbate may be illegally added to fresh coconut water in order to prolong its marketable life, but this adulteration may not be identified on the product label. The aim of this research was therefore to evaluate if samples of fresh coconut water that had been adulterated with measured amounts of potassium sorbate could be detected by near infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI). Samples of coconut water with different potassium sorbate concentrations (N = 100) and pure coconut water samples (N = 100) were used in this study with their averaged spectral data used as independent variables. The smoothing spectral pretreatment gave the highest classification accuracy of 98.48% by partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). While support vector machine regression (SVMR) with spectral pretreatment, using the 1st derivative combined with multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), achieved the optimum condition for developing the calibration model for determining potassium sorbate concentration with the correlation coefficient of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) of 0.818 and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 327.86 ppm. The results showed that NIR-HSI was able to be used as a fast, reliable, economic and environmentally friendly method of detecting potassium sorbate addition to coconut water.

The fraudulent addition of sugars to pineapple juice concentrate undermines consumer trust and satisfaction. Resistance (R), capacitance (C), dissipation factor (D), inductance (L), quality factor (Q), impedance (Z) and phase angle (θ) in the range of 0.012–200 kHz of juice adulterated with sugar increasing levels from 0 to 95% at 0.5% (w/w) intervals were tested to determine whether they could be used for detecting adulteration in pineapple juice concentrate using a LCR (inductance, capacitance, resistance) meter. A multiple linear regression (MLR) model was developed for predicting the concentration of additive sugars in samples. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used for classifying pure pineapple juice concentrate and pineapple juice concentrate adulterated with added sugars. The most accuracy in the MLR model was obtained from θ, which achieved a correlation coefficient of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) of 0.977 and a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 5.88% w/w. From the LDA analysis, the most accurate parameter for classification was C, which yielded a predictive classification accuracy of 94.57%. Therefore, this technique indicates its potential for use in the fruit juice industry a simple method for routinely testing in order to ensure the non-contamination of products offered for sale to consumers.

Mangosteens can develop a postharvest physiological disorder, called “hardening”, which affects their marketability and is not detectable using visual inspection. The hardening disorder of mangosteens was determined by firmness value using the texture analyzer. Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) in the region of 935–1720 nm was tested as a possible rapid and non-destructive method to detect this disorder. The spectra from a region of interest of mangosteens were acquired and used for analysis. Calibration models for firmness of a similarly sized group and a mixed-size group were established using partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector machine regression (SVMR). Chemometric algorithms were investigated in order to determine the optimal conditions for establishing the models for firmness. The optimum model was obtained when the fruit were graded into similarly sized groups. Using partial least squares regression (PLSR), the correlation coefficient of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) was 0.87 and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was 6.25 N. The predictive images for firmness of the fruit were created by interpreting predicted firmness visualized as colors in every pixel. From the data, it was concluded that NIR-HSI can potentially be used to visualize hardening of individual mangosteens based on their predictive images.

It is not possible to differentiate between hard-boiled and soft-boiled eggs after processing. Therefore, transient heat of boiled eggs was tested during the production process in order to develop a model that could be used to differentiate between soft-boiled and hard-boiled eggs. Both types of boiled eggs (N=214) were produced in water at 90 °C for different times and then cooled down. The temperature gradients due to heat transfer during cooling in the ambient air were measured every 30 seconds. Results showed that a dimensionless parameter, called number of transfer units (NTU), changed in relation to time during the cooling process, and it was shown that this could be used as an independent variable. Classification models were established using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and support vector machine classification (SVMC). Samples were divided into a calibration set (N=150) and a prediction set (N=64). The predictive accuracy of the models using LDA and SVMC for classifying eggs into soft-boiled or hard-boiled was 93.8% and 92.2%, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that the classification models using LDA and SVMC had potential for use as a non-destructive method for classifying groups of eggs into soft-boiled and hard-boiled that could potentially be used in a commercial situation.

Eggs that are produced using organic methods retail at higher prices than those produced using conventional methods, but they cannot be differentiated reliably using visual methods. Eggs can therefore be fraudulently mislabeled in order to increase their wholesale and retail prices. The objective of this research was therefore to test near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) to identify whether an egg has been produced using organic or conventional methods. A total of 210 organic and 210 conventional fresh eggs were individually scanned using NIR-HSI to obtain absorbance spectra for discrimination analysis. The physical properties of each egg were also measured non-destructively in order to analyze the performance of discrimination compared with those of the NIR-HSI spectral data. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed variation for PC1 and PC2 of 57% and 23% and 94% and 4% based on physical properties and the spectral data, respectively. The best results of the classification using NIR-HSI spectral data obtained an accuracy of 96.03% and an error rate of 3.97% via partial least squares–discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), indicating the possibility that NIR-HSI could be successfully used to rapidly, reliably, and non-destructively differentiate between eggs that had been produced using organic methods from eggs that had been produced using conventional methods.

Sodium nitrite is a food additive commonly used in sausages, but legally, the unsafe levels of nitrite in sausage should be less than 80 mg/kg, since higher levels can be harmful to consumers. Consumers must rely on processors to conform to these levels. Therefore, the determination of nitrite content in chicken sausages using near infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) was investigated. A total of 140 chicken sausage samples were produced by adding sodium nitrite in various levels. The samples were divided into a calibration set (n = 94) and a prediction set (n = 46). Quantitative analysis, to detect nitrate in the sausages, and qualitative analysis, to classify nitrite levels, were undertaken in order to evaluate whether individual sausages had safe levels or non-safe levels of nitrite. NIR-HSI was preprocessed to obtain the optimum conditions for establishing the models. The results showed that the model from the partial least squares regression (PLSR) gave the most reliable performance, with a coefficient of determination of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) of 0.92 and a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 15.603 mg/kg. The results of the classification using the partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed a satisfied accuracy for prediction of 91.30%. It was therefore concluded that they were sufficiently accurate for screening and that NIR-HSI has the potential to be used for the fast, accurate and reliable assessment of nitrite content in chicken sausages.

Determination of optimum maturity and ripeness of fruit is essential in the production of processed fruit, including pineapples, but this is difficult to achieve consistently by visual grading in commercial factories. Therefore, this study tested two nondestructive techniques for predicting the maturity index of intact pineapple. These were transmittance short wavelength near infrared spectroscopy (SW-NIRS) in the wavelength range of 665–955 nm and reflectance near infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) in the wavelength range of 935–1720 nm. The number of samples used for calibration was 120 for both SW-NIRS and NIR-HSI. The maturity index and spectral information of individual pineapple fruit were acquired from both techniques and analysed using the same procedure. Then, partial least squares regression (PLSR) was used to establish the models for predicting the maturity index of each intact fruit. The leave-one-out cross validation was used for evaluating the performance of the models. The results showed that both techniques gave reliable performance in predicting the maturity index of individual fruit, with a coefficient of determination considering cross validation (R<inf>cv</inf>2) for the prediction of the maturity index of 0.70 and a root mean square error in cross validation (RMSECV) of 2.16 when using SW-NIRS and R<inf>cv</inf>2 of 0.72 and RMSECV of 1.68 when using NIR-HSI. It was therefore concluded that both SW-NIRS and NIR-HSI had the potential for use in nondestructive analysis of the maturity of intact pineapple fruit in fruit processing factories.

Mango and mangosteen are commercially important tropical fruits with a short shelf life. Fruit processing is one of the alternatives to extend the shelf life of these fruits. Purée is one of the processed products of fresh fruit. In this research, the quality of mango and mangosteen purée was analyzed. Titratable acidity (TA) and total soluble solids (TSS) were predicted using non-destructive near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A partial least squares regression (PLSR) model was developed based on the NIR spectra with a wavelength ranging from 800 to 2500 nm. The PLSR model returned a coefficient of determination (r2) and a ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) of 0.955 and 4.7 for TSS, and 0.784 and 2.2 for TA, in the mango purée. Similarly, the best model was selected for the TSS prediction in the mangosteen purée through PLSR, with an r2, a root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV), and RPD of 0.799, 0.3% malic acid, and 2.2, respectively. The results show the possible application of NIR spectroscopy in the product processing line, although a larger number of samples with wide variation in future studies are needed as an input to update the model, in order to obtain a more robust model.
