PLS, iPLS, GA‐PLS models for soluble solids content, pH and acidity determination in intact dovyalis fruit using near‐infrared spectroscopy

BACKGROUND Dovyalis species Dovyalis abyssinica Warb. and Dovyalis hebecarpa Warb. were introduced into Brazil, but the fruit quality of these species is not appropriate for fresh consumption due to their high titratable acidity (TA) and low soluble solids content (SSC). With the selection of new D....

Description
Summary:BACKGROUND Dovyalis species Dovyalis abyssinica Warb. and Dovyalis hebecarpa Warb. were introduced into Brazil, but the fruit quality of these species is not appropriate for fresh consumption due to their high titratable acidity (TA) and low soluble solids content (SSC). With the selection of new D. abyssinica clones with lower acidity and the hybridization of these two dovyalis species (D. abyssinica and D. hebecarpa) the fruit quality improved and the better physical–chemical characteristics make them more suitable for fresh consumption. The objective of this study was to develop partial least squares (PLS) models using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the determination of SSC, TA and pH in intact dovyalis hybrid fruit (D. abyssinica Warb. × D. hebecarpa Warb.). RESULTS The best SSC prediction model was developed with PLS regression (root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.71 °Brix, prediction data set (RP2) of 0.74 and residual predictive deviation (RPD) of 2.82). Although interval PLS was tested, genetic algorithm PLS performed better for TA (RMSEP of 4.8 g kg−1, RP2 of 0.40, and RPD of 1.67), and for pH (RMSEP of 0.03, RP2 of 0.90, and RPD of 6.67). CONCLUSION NIRS can be used as a non‐destructive method to determine quality parameters in intact dovyalis hybrid fruit. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
