Mangosteen is a high-value tropical fruit widely consumed and exported from Thailand. Mangosteen ripeness classification is crucial for export quality control, but manual grading leads to inconsistency and inefficiency. This study presents a computer vision system using an Artificial neural network to classify mangosteen into ripe, semi-ripe, and unripe stages based on peel color. A dataset of 378 images was collected and processed to extract 40 color-based features across multiple color spaces. Principal Component Analysis demonstrated non-linear separability among the ripeness classes. SMOTE and Gaussian noise augmentation were used to tackle data imbalance and enhance generalizability. The model reached a 95% accuracy rate and displayed flawless precision and recall for the ripe class. Integrated Gradients analysis highlighted the importance of the red-green color component (CIELAB a*) in the classification process. The proposed method demonstrates a low-cost, interpretable, and efficient solution suitable for real-world application in the mangosteen export industry.

Pomelo fruit pulp mainly is consumed fresh and with very little processing, and its peels are discarded as biological waste, which can cause the environmental problems. The peels contain several bioactive chemical compounds, especially essential oils (EOs). The content of a specific EO is important for the extraction process in industry and in research units such as breeding research. The explanation of the biosynthesis pathway for EO generation and change was included. The chemical bond vibration affected the prediction of EO constituents was comprehensively explained by regression coefficient plots and x-loading plots. Visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (VIS/NIRS) is a prominent rapid technique used for fruit quality assessment. This research work was focused on evaluating the use of VIS/NIRS to predict the composition of EOs found in the peel of the pomelo fruit (Citrus maxima (J. Burm.) Merr. cv Kao Nam Pueng) following storage. The composition of the peel oil was analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) at storage durations of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 days (at 10 °C and 70% relative humidity). The relationship between the NIR spectral data and the major EO components found in the peel, including nootkatone, geranial, β-phellandrene and limonene, were established using the raw spectral data in conjunction with partial least squares (PLS) regression. Preprocessing of the raw spectra was performed using multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) or second derivative preprocessing. The PLS model of nootkatone with full MSC had the highest correlation coefficient between the predicted and reference values (r = 0.82), with a standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.11% and bias of 0.01%, while the models of geranial, β-phellandrene and limonene provided too low r values of 0.75, 0.75 and 0.67, respectively. The nootkatone model is only appropriate for use in screening and some other approximate calibrations, though this is the first report of the use of NIR spectroscopy on intact fruit measurement for its peel EO constituents during cold storage.

The contamination of agricultural products, such as vegetables, by pesticide residues has received considerable attention worldwide. Pesticide residue on vegetables constitutes a potential risk to human health. In this study, we combined near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with machine learning algorithms, including partial least-squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA), support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), and principal component artificial neural network (PC-ANN), to identify pesticide residue (chlorpyrifos) on bok choi. The experimental set comprised 120 bok choi samples obtained from two small greenhouses that were cultivated separately. We performed pesticide and pesticide-free treatments with 60 samples in each group. The vegetables for pesticide treatment were fortified with 2 mL/L of chlorpyrifos 40% EC residue. We connected a commercial portable NIR spectrometer with a wavelength range of 908–1676 nm to a small single-board computer. We analyzed the pesticide residue on bok choi using UV spectrophotometry. The most accurate model correctly classified 100% of the samples used in the calibration set in terms of the content of chlorpyrifos residue on samples using SVM and PC-ANN with raw data spectra. Thus, we tested the model using an unknown dataset of 40 samples to verify the robustness of the model, which produced a satisfactory F1-score (100%). We concluded that the proposed portable NIR spectrometer coupled with machine learning approaches (PLS-DA, SVM, and PC-ANN) is appropriate for the detection of chlorpyrifos residue on bok choi.

The quality control of fruit purée products such as mango and mangosteen is crucial for maintaining consumer satisfaction and meeting industry standards. Traditional destructive techniques for assessing key quality parameters like the soluble solid content (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) are labor-intensive and time-consuming; prompting the need for rapid, nondestructive alternatives. This study investigated the use of deep learning (DL) models including Simple-CNN, AlexNet, EfficientNetB0, MobileNetV2, and ResNeXt for predicting SSC and TA in mango and mangosteen purée and compared their performance with the conventional chemometric method partial least squares regression (PLSR). Spectral data were preprocessed and evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation. For mango purée, the Simple-CNN model achieved the highest predictive accuracy for both SSC (coefficient of determination of cross-validation ((Formula presented.)) = 0.914, root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSE<inf>CV</inf>) = 0.688, the ratio of prediction to deviation of cross-validation (RPD<inf>CV</inf>) = 3.367) and TA ((Formula presented.) = 0.762, RMSE<inf>CV</inf> = 0.037, RPD<inf>CV</inf> = 2.864), demonstrating a statistically significant improvement over PLSR. For the mangosteen purée, AlexNet exhibited the best SSC prediction performance ((Formula presented.) = 0.702, RMSE<inf>CV</inf> = 0.471, RPD<inf>CV</inf> = 1.666), though the RPD<inf>CV</inf> values (<2.0) indicated limited applicability for precise quantification. TA prediction in mangosteen purée showed low variance in the reference values (standard deviation (SD) = 0.048), which may have restricted model performance. These results highlight the potential of DL for improving NIR-based quality evaluation of fruit purée, while also pointing to the need for further refinement to ensure interpretability, robustness, and practical deployment in industrial quality control.

Deep learning (DL) has been applied in agriculture, especially quality control in agricultural processing. One key area of interest is the detection and monitoring of pesticide residues in crops. The most popular measurement tool for nondestructive monitoring of pesticide residues is near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). A combination of CNN model with NIR spectral data was developed for monitoring pesticide residue on bok choi. The NIR spectral of bok choi with and without pesticide residue (chlorpyrifos) was collected in wavelength range between 908 and 1676 nm. A simple structure of CNN was modified for a one-dimensional task and this deep learning architecture was trained for classification of the bok choi samples. The results showed prefect prediction with 100% accuracy, precision, recall and specificity. This study also found that deep learning for NIR spectroscopy data requires less processing than traditional machine learning while still achieving great results.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from biomass combustion include carbon dioxide (CO<inf>2</inf>), methane (CH<inf>4</inf>) and nitrous oxide (N<inf>2</inf>O), which cause climate change and global warming. By measuring GHG emissions by biomass combustion, a potent protocol for the calculation of global warming potential (GWP), which is how much the global temperature has risen due to combustion processes, can be achieved, contributing to determining the mean reduction in global temperature rise and fostering a transition towards more sustainable energy systems. Additionally, warning can be given of the GHG and GWP risks associated with different species of biomass. This review includes the GHG emissions and GWP of biomass combustion and their measurement and estimation directly through biomass sample combustion, using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite measurements of radiation interacting with atmospheric gases, or satellite-derived data and calculations according to IPCC guidelines. In addition, the relationship of lignocellulosic compounds and elements in biomass to HHV and GHG emissions is described. The key mechanism of molecular vibration of hydrogen bonds in biomass caused by NIR radiation related to GHG emissions is revealed and recorded regarding the possibility of using NIR spectroscopy for the prediction of GHG emissions and GWP. Calculation examples for sugarcane bagasse and other biomass species are shown. The comparative advantages and limitations of NIR spectroscopy with respect to other methods are included. These factors lead to elucidation of the possibility of using NIR spectroscopy for non-destructive prediction of GHG emissions. In this review, the feasibility of using NIR spectroscopy to evaluate GHG emissions, GWP and emission factors (EFs) as an alternative to IPCC estimation methods related to climate change by biomass combustion is confirmed. NIR spectroscopy is a novel methodology for predicting GHG emissions and GWP directly from intact chip or powder biomass spectral data without explicit gas measurement. This article records the essential spectroscopic knowledge of biomass polymer valorization that is of value in polymer science.

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides broadbands, overtones, and combinations of organic-bond vibrations and has been used to characterize agricultural and food products. The adulteration of grated nutmeg with cinnamon is extremely profitable and difficult to detect; to prevent retail fraud, it is vital to differentiate between these materials. This study proposes a model for classifying the adulteration of nutmeg with cinnamon and predicting the level of adulteration. NIR spectra were characterized with six machine learning (ML) algorithms, namely, the principal component-multilayer perceptron (PC-MLP), principal component-linear discriminant analysis (PC-LDA), partial least squares regression (PLSR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and decision tree (DT) methods. PC-MLP provided 100% accuracy in calibration and prediction in distinguishing nutmeg from cinnamon. In addition, this approach showed excellent performance in predicting the adulteration ratio of nutmeg and cinnamon with a high coefficient of determination of prediction (R <sup>2</sup><inf>pred</inf>) value of 0.9969, low root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) value of 0.5728%, and high ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) value of 17.9605. Therefore, this study indicates the potential of integrating NIR spectroscopy with PC-MLP to classify and quantify the adulteration of nutmeg.

This work proposes exploring the discrimination model by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (FT-NIR and Micro-NIR) for geographical source areas of coconut milk in tandem with the classical to modern chemometrics classifier. The discrimination model was developed using qualitative chemometrics techniques from classic (Principal Component Analysis-PCA, Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis-PLS-DA, Linear Discriminant Analysis-LDA) to modern, including classifiers from machine learning (Support Vector Machine-SVM, k-Nearest Neighbor-KNN, Artificial Neural Network-ANN) and deep learning (Simple Convolutional Neural Networks-S-CNN, S-AlexNET, Residual Networks-ResNET). Three sources as geographical areas of coconut milk originally from Thailand were used, including the south region (Chumphon Province), middle region (Samut Songkhram Province), and east region (Chonburi Province). Our findings showed that a classifier from SVM and ResNET could yield the optimal performance for discriminating the geographical source area of coconut milk using FT-NIR. Furthermore, when using Micro-NIR, the classifier from LDA, SVM, KNN and ResNET delivered the highest accuracy. The performance discrimination models above were excellent when classified based on the kappa coefficient. This study concluded that both FT-NIR and Micro-NIR supported by classical to modern chemometric classifiers could be used to evaluate the geographical area source from coconut milk. Also, the method in this study includes a strategy for discovering feature-important NIR spectra for interpretability purposes, thereby facilitating the qualitative interpretation of results for all types of classifiers.

Identification of pineapple harvested dates at raw material receiving state in factory is very difficult. This research aims to determination of appropriate machine learning algorithm for Identifying maturity of pineapple using optical property. Color of pineapple fruits and fresh was measured by portable colorimeter on CIE system (L*, a∗ and b∗ values). The ten algorithms were fit to the training set including naive Bayes (NB), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), gradient boosting (GB) and adaptive boosting (AB). The best model for pineapple fruit were established from ANN while DT showed highest performance for pineapple fresh. The accuracy of ANN and DT for fruit and fresh models were 83 and 92% respectively. This finding point is novel technique for identification of pineapple according to harvested dates which it can apply to quality control and assurance in pineapple industries.

This study proposed a novel approach to automatically select the preprocessing methods and hyperparameters of machine learning (ML) algorithms based on their best performance in cross-validation for near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy data. The proposed method simultaneously incorporates single or multiple-preprocessing steps and tunes hyperparameters to determine the best model performance for FT-NIR and Micro-NIR spectral data of coconut milk adulteration with distilled water and mature coconut water in the range of 0%–50%. Computational experiments were conducted using nine single preprocessing types, three types of ML classifier (linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbour (KNN), multilayer perceptron (MLP)) and three types of ML regressor (partial least squares (PLS), KNN, MLP). The proposed performance strategy effectively addressed and produced satisfactory outcomes for classification and regression challenges in coconut milk adulteration. Finally, the results demonstrated that the proposed approach can more accurately determine the best model, particularly for NIR spectroscopy of coconut milk adulteration.
