Portable NIR Spectroscopy Combined with Machine Learning for Kiwi Ripeness Classification: An Approach to Precision Farming

This study aims to evaluate and classify the ripening stages of yellow-fleshed kiwifruit by integrating spectral and physicochemical data collected from the pre-harvest phase through 60 days of storage. A portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer (900–1700 nm) was used to develop predictive models f...
