Nondestructive Analysis of Internal Quality in Pears with a Self-Made Near-Infrared Spectrum Detector Combined with Multivariate Data Processing
The consumption of pears has increased, thanks not only to their delicious and juicy flavor, but also their rich nutritional value. Traditional methods of detecting internal qualities (e.g., soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), and taste index (TI)) of pears are reliable, but they a...

The consumption of pears has increased, thanks not only to their delicious and juicy flavor, but also their rich nutritional value. Traditional methods of detecting internal qualities (e.g., soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), and taste index (TI)) of pears are reliable, but they are destructive, time-consuming, and polluting. It is necessary to detect internal qualities of pears rapidly and nondestructively by using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. In this study, we used a self-made NIR spectrum detector with an improved variable selection algorithm, named the variable stability and cluster analysis algorithm (VSCAA), to establish a partial least squares regression (PLSR) model to detect SSC content in snow pears. VSCAA is a variable selection method based on the combination of variable stability and cluster analysis to select the infrared spectrum variables. To reflect the advantages of VSCAA, we compared the classical variable selection methods (synergy interval partial least squares (SiPLS), genetic algorithm (GA), successive projections algorithm (SPA), and bootstrapping soft shrinkage (BOSS)) to extract useful wavelengths. The PLSR model, based on the useful variables selected by SiPLS-VSCAA, was optimal for measuring SSC in pears, and the correlation coefficient of calibration (Rc), root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV), correlation coefficient of prediction (Rp), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), and residual predictive deviation (RPD) were 0.942, 0.198%, 0.936, 0.222%, and 2.857, respectively.
