“…However, reflectance in that region is also correlated with aliphatic esters, alkyl groups and alkenes ($1100-1375 nm), water and alcohol ($1460 nm) as well as fatty acids and triglycerides ($1600-1850 nm) (Hourant et al, 2000;Fernández-Espinosa, 2016;Jha, 2016;Schaich, 2016). Finally, the 1920 nm and 2000-2220 nm bands can be associated with the OÀ ÀH bond and the combination of CÀ ÀC/CÀ ÀH, CÀ ÀH/C¼O, and NÀ ÀH/C¼O groups, which are associated with water, lipids and proteins (Workman and Weyer, 2008;Vitale et al, 2013). Differences between classes in reflectance in the water, phenols, protein/amino acid regions could be related to external damage as consequences of water loss, oxidative processes, microbial growth and/or fruit processes to repair damaged tissue.…”
