    Translucent flesh disorder is undesirable in mangosteen meant for export. However, mangosteens are judged as translucent when the translucent flesh is visible on the pulp surface regardless of the quantity of the internal translucent flesh which may result in some mangosteen assessed as normal having the same amount of translucent flesh content as a mangosteen judged as translucent. The critical amount of translucent flesh to be visible on the pulp surface needs to be determined for assessment purposes. A non-destructive technique to measure the translucent content is a practical tool as the first step towards the establishment of the critical value. A non-destructive model was developed to estimate the translucent content in mangosteens using near infrared transmittance. The translucent area of the flesh section on the fruit surface was used to indicate the translucent content. The effects of the orientation of the fruit and also of the light source to the relative position of the detector as well as the effect of the measurement position of the fruit on the predictive performance were examined. The results showed that the best partial least squares model was achieved with spectra acquired from the fruit position which revealed the largest flesh segment (prediction correlation coefficient was 0.86 and root mean square error of prediction was 7.58%). The horizontal stem-calyx fruit axis and a 135° angle from the light source relative to the detector were the optimal fruit orientation and configuration for measurement. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    Electrical impedance spectroscopy in a frequency range of 1 kHz-200 kHz was studied to develop a classifying model for translucent mangosteen. The optimal configuration of the measurement was investigated. Transverse alignment of two measuring needles with the stem-calyx axis and with the measured position on the part of the pericarp pertinent to the largest flesh segment proved to be the optimal configuration. The optimal electrical parameters were selected at frequencies of 1, 4, 7, 8, 14, 47, 73, and 81 kHz as the classifying variables based on the student t-test analysis for a significant difference between the normal and translucent mangosteen and the largest difference of the average values of the electrical parameters. The differences in the electrical parameters and their reciprocals were the optimal classifying variables. The model constructed from the samples from two seasons was robust in terms of seasonality, providing a classification accuracy of 82.7%. The difference in the initial moisture content of the pericarp was justifiably compensated by the differences in the electrical parameters. The EIS technique was suitable for measurement of mangosteen samples at the maturity color stage in which the sample contained no yellow latex in the pericarp.

    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 (r<sup>2</sup>) 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 r<sup>2</sup>, 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.
