Seed quality is of great importance in optimizing the cost of crop establishment. Rapid and
non-destructive seed quality detection methods must therefore be developed for agriculture …

Infrared spectroscopy (wavelengths ranging from 750–25,000 nm) offers a rapid means of
assessing the chemical composition of a wide range of sample types, both for qualitative …

Total fungi count (TFC) is a quality indicator of cocoa beans when unmonitored leads to
quality and safety problems. Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIRS) …

Reducing sugar plays a vital role in edible quality and processing properties of sweet
potatoes. This study was aimed to quantitatively predict the reducing sugar content of sweet …

The hybridization of cocoa generates new varieties with the aim of opening new flavors,
textures, and disease resistance. The objective of this study was to develop and validate …

The aim of the current work was to use hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in the spectral range
1000–2500 nm to quantitatively predict fermentation index (FI), total polyphenols (TP) and …

Cocoa bean is an international commodity largely produced in developing countries and
mostly consumed worldwide in several forms. During the last few decades, rapid detection of …

This study aimed to achieve the rapid evaluation of moisture, ash and protein of sweet
potato simultaneously by near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging (900–1700 nm) …

Adulteration of spices has been a major threat in the past decades as it decreases the
quality and causes illness to humans. Testing of species is essential for evaluating the …

Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) coupled to chemometric algorithms
such as back propagation (BP)-AdaBoost and synergy interval partial least square (Si-PLS) …
