Non-Destructive Prediction of SSC and Storage Days Classification of Kiwifruit During Postharvest Storage Using Near-Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging
摘要
This study employed near-infrared hyperspectral imaging technology (858–1700 nm) for the non-destructive detection of SSC and maturity in 480 kiwifruits during postharvest storage at room temperature (20 ± 1 °C) over a period of 0–14 days. The effectiveness of six spectral preprocessing methods was comprehensively evaluated: multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), standard normal variate (SNV), Savitzky-Golay smoothing (SG), MSC + SNV, MSC + SG, and SNV + SG. Additionally, the performance of three characteristic wavelength selection algorithms was compared: competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), successive projections algorithm (SPA), and uninformative variable elimination (UVE). Subsequently, four prediction models were constructed and compared: partial least squares regression (PLSR), back propagation neural network (BP), linear regression (LR), and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM). The results demonstrated that the MSC + SG + CARS + LSSVM model yielded optimal performance, with correlation coefficients Rc = 0.881 and Rp = 0.927, root mean square errors RMSEC = 0.590°Brix and RMSEP = 0.597°Brix, and ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) = 2.61. Additionally, genetic algorithm-optimized backpropagation neural network (GA-BP) and radial basis function neural network (RBF) models were developed for storage days discrimination, yielding accuracies of 95.15% and 93.75%, respectively. The results demonstrate that near-infrared hyperspectral imaging technology can effectively assess the internal quality and post-harvest storage days of kiwifruit stored under room temperature (20 ± 1 °C) conditions. This technology facilitates the determination of the optimal transportation window during storage and holds significant potential for quality monitoring and maturity classification in the kiwifruit industry.
