Estimation of soluble solids content and firmness in apple (Golden cv) by NIR absorbance indices

Abstract

1 copia (a-3) del póster original presentado. 3 Figs., 1 Tabl.To determine fruit quality traits, non-destructive methods like near infrared spectroscopy are displacing traditional procedures. The interpretation of NIR spectra. involves a complex statistical analysis as the whole spectrum is used to obtain the calibration equations which permit to assess some quality traits already determined by destructive methods, such as a texturometer for rheological properties or a refracto meter for total soluble solids content .Peer reviewe
