An Intelligent Near-Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Scheme for the Non-Destructive Testing of the Sugar Content in Cherry Tomato Fruit

Abstract

As a new non-destructive testing technology, near-infrared spectroscopy has broad application prospects in agriculture, food, and other fields. In this paper, an intelligent near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy scheme (INIS) for the non-destructive testing of the sugar contents in vegetables and fruits was proposed. The cherry tomato were taken as the research object. The applicable objects and features of the three main methods of near-infrared detection were compared. According to the advantages and disadvantages of the three near infrared (NIR) detection methods, the experiment was carried out. This experiment involved the near-infrared diffuse reflection detection method, and the back propagation (BP) network model was established to research the sugar content of the cherry tomatoes. We used smoothing and a principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the final spectrum from the experimental spectrum. Taking the preprocessed spectral data as the input of the network and the measured sugar content of the cherry tomatoes as the output, the 80-12-1 network model structure was established. The cross-validation coefficient of determination was 0.8328 and the mean absolute deviation was 0.5711. The results indicate that the BP neural network can quickly and effectively detect the sugar content in cherry tomatoes. This intelligent near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (INIS) scheme can be extended and optimized for almost all sugar-containing fruits and vegetables in the future.

Quality Information Detection of Agaricus bisporus Based on a Portable Spectrum Acquisition Device

“…where x(λ), y(λ), z(λ) refers to the spectral tristimulus value with a field of view of 10 • for the standard observer defined by the CIE. R(λ) refers to the relative spectral power distribution of the illuminant, δ(λ) refers to the measured spectral reflectance of the object under 0/d observing conditions, and the constant K is the normalized constant, which can be obtained by Equation (5), where the integral range is 450-760 nm. K = 100 760 450 ψ(λ)y 10 (λ)dλ (5) where ψ(λ) refers to the white stimulus function: that is, the human eye's perception of color, which can be obtained by Equation (6).…”

Research Review on Quality Detection of Fresh Tea Leaves Based on Spectral Technology

“…Baseline correction is mainly used to correct the baseline shift problem in spectroscopy due to measurement variations of spectroscopic instruments or changes in measurement environment parameters [ 39 ]. Baseline correction methods include multiple scattering correction (MSC), standard normal variation (SNV), detrending (DT), orthogonal signal correction (OSC), and moving average (MA) [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ].…”

Multiparametric Remote Investigation in the near-IR through Optical Fiber for In Situ Measurements

“…This method has been successfully applied to numerous kinds of tissues, such as skin [ 14 ], breast [ 15 ], or lung [ 16 ] and to molecular concentration monitoring [ 17 ]. More particularly, DRS has been mostly beneficial in the medical field toward fast tissue diagnosis in a guided surgery for the near-IR [ 18 ], which explains that the most recent advances have allowed for the fast implementation of new solutions such as optimizing optical heads with a polarization modality [ 19 ], using multiple coherent light sources simultaneously for diffuse and autofluorescence acquisition in imaging mode [ 20 ], and the analysis which is post-processed with machine learning approach [ 21 ]. However, analyzing a single spectrum from the reflectance light/matter interaction is not sensitive enough to understand the complex 3D organization of a thick biological sample.…”
