Quantification of Dry Matter Content in Hass Avocado by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Scanning Different Fruit Zones
Accurate dry matter determination (DM) in Hass avocados is vital for optimal harvesting and ensuring fruit quality.Predictive models based on NIRS need to capture fruit DM gradient.This work aimed to determine the DM content in Hass avocado whole by NIRS scanning different fruit zones.Spectra were recorded for each zone of the fruit: peduncle (P),
