The overall precision test for near infrared scanning and reference method for the determination of soluble solids content and pH of mango for processing factory

Abstract

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a rapid technique for nondestructive testing. Mango is popular fruit in Thailand. Therefore, The main aim of this paper is to report an overall precision of the NIR spectroscopy instruments and reference methods for determination at the beginning of the experiment for prediction models development to be in the mango applied processing factory.. Results showed that the repeatability of FT-NIR spectrometer and UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer were 0.00191 and 0.00529, respectively. The reproducibility of FT-NIR spectrometer and UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer were 0.00323 and 0.03561, respectively. Repeatability of reference test of TSS and pH were 0.1657 and 0.0827. Therefore, the R 2 max of TSS and pH were 0.9825 and 0.9504 which indicates that it is possible to develop NIR model for prediction of total soluble solids and pH.
