From physicochemical to sensory quality: Non-destructive profiling and grading of kiwifruit using a self-designed handheld Vis/NIR spectrometer combined with chemometrics.
Kiwifruit is a nutrient-rich fruit with high levels of vitamin C and bioactive compounds, contributing to its nutritional value and consumer acceptance. However, as a climacteric fruit, its physicochemical properties and sensory attributes change rapidly during ripening, posing challenges for postharvest quality evalua...
