Validation of short wave near infrared calibration models for the quality and ripening of 'Newhall'orange on tree across years and orchards
The aim of this research was to test the viability of short wave near infrared spectroscopy
(SW-NIRS) for the monitoring of fruit quality and ripening evolution in Algarve Citrus
orchards (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck 'Newhall'). Specifically, we have investigated the
robustness of SW-NIRS calibration models in real conditions, that is: i) measurements were
performed on tree, at a single location in the fruit equator, in the sunlight and with no
temperature equilibration; and ii) with validation through independent data obtained in …
