摘要

Citrus is a globally consumed commodity. The quality of its fruit is crucial for marketability and consumer satisfaction. Traditional methods of assessing fruit quality rely on external characteristics, which may not accurately reflect internal attributes such as sweetness, acidity, and moisture content. The current study introduces non-destructive techniques, X-ray computed tomography (CT), and machine learning for automated quality evaluation of citrus (Satsuma). A dataset of citrus samples was developed under ambient conditions with 20–22 °C temper-ature and 50–60% humidity, and the other half citrus samples were placed under refrigerated conditions with 6–8 °C temperature and 65–75% humidity to analyze quality variations. The hypothesis of the”CitrusNetQuality” model integrated Random Forest Regressor, Gradient Boosting Regressor, Partial Least Squares Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors Regressor, and Support Vector Regression, com-bined with Wavelet Transforms and Principal Component Analysis for quality prediction. The model achieved high R2 values (0.97–0.98) and low MAE values (0.01–0.08) across key parameters, outperforming existing models. By integrat-ing X-ray CT and machine learning,”CitrusNetQuality” was enhanced by fruit quality evaluation, reducing assessment challenges and improving consumer sat-isfaction. This study provided a non-destructive tool for precise citrus quality assessment.
