“…In the combination of multivariate analysis (chemometrics), the potential of Vis/NIR spectroscopy has been greatly enhanced. To date, Vis-NIR spectroscopy and related approach have been successfully applied to develop theoretical models for the discrimination of shelf-life or storage stages of freshcut salads and apples (Beghi, Giovenzana, Civelli, & Guidetti, 2016), peaches (Huang, Meng, Zhu, & Wu, 2017), pears (He, Fu, Rao, & Fang, 2016), and Valerianella locusta L. (Giovenzana, Beghi, Buratti, Civelli, & Guidetti, 2014). Post-harvest quality, such as SSC (soluble solids content), dry matter, pH, and firmness, was also investigated in tomatoes (Huang, Lu, & Chen, 2018), oranges (Ncama, Opara, Tesfay, Fawole, & Magwaza, 2017), sweet cherries (Escribano, Biasi, Lerud, Slaughter, & Mitcham, 2017), plums (Li, Pullanagari, Pranamornkith, Yule, & East, 2017), pears (Wang, Wang, Chen, & Han, 2017), and kiwifruits (Li et al, 2017) by Vis/NIR spectroscopy.…”
