The potential of near-infrared hyperspectral imaging to determine anthocyanins in intact grape has been evaluated. The hyperspectral images of intact grapes during ripening were recorded using a near-infrared hyperspectral imaging covering the spectral range between 900 and 1700 nm. Reference values of anthocyanins were obtained by HPLC-DAD. A number of spectral pretreatments and different mask development strategies were studied. Calibrations were performed by modified partial least-squares regression (MPLS) and present a good potential (RSQ of 0.86 and SEP values of 2.62 and 3.05 mg g(-1) of grape skin for nonacylated and total anthocyanins, respectively) for a fast and reasonably inexpensive screening of these compounds in intact grapes.
a b s t r a c tHyperspectral images of intact grapes were recorded at harvest time using a near infrared hyperspectral imaging system (900-1700 nm). Spectral data have been correlated with red grape skin extractable polyphenols (total phenolic, anthocyanins and flavanols) by modified partial least squares regression (MPLS) using a number of spectral pretreatments. The obtained results (coefficient of determination (RSQ) and standard error of prediction (SEP), respectively) for the developed models were: 0.82 and 0.92 mg g À1 of grape skin for extractable total phenolic content, 0.79 and 0.63 mg g À1 of grape skin for extractable anthocyanin content, 0.82 and 0.45 mg g À1 of grape skin for extractable flavanol content. The obtained results present a good potential for a fast and reasonably inexpensive screening of the extractable polyphenolic compounds in intact grapes. Moreover, the heterogeneity of extractable polyphenols within the ripeness stage has been also evaluated using the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
