Internal quality prediction technology for 'Sulhyang' strawberry fruit using organic analysis and hyperspectral imaging.

Abstract

In recent years, hyperspectral imaging combined with machine learning techniques has garnered significant attention for its potential in assessing fruit maturity. This study proposes a method for predicting strawberry fruit maturity based on the harvest time. The main features of this study are as follows. 1) Selection of wavelength band associated with strawberry growth season; 2) Extraction of efficient parameters to predict strawberry maturity 3) Prediction of internal quality attributes of strawberries using extracted parameters. In this study, experts cultivated strawberries in a controlled environment and performed hyperspectral measurements and organic analyses on the fruit with minimal time delay to facilitate accurate modeling. Data augmentation techniques through cross-validation and interpolation were effective in improving model performance. The four parameters included in the model and the cumulative value of the model were available for quality prediction as additional parameters. Among these five parameter candidates, two parameters with linearity were finally identified. The predictive outcomes for firmness, soluble solids content, acidity, and anthocyanin levels in strawberry fruit, based on the two identified parameters, are as follows: The first parameter, p s , demonstrated RMSE performances of 1.0 N, 2.3 %, 0.1 %, and 2.0 mg per 100 g fresh fruit for firmness, soluble solids content, acidity, and anthocyanin, respectively. The second parameter, p 3 , showed RMSE performances of 0.6 N, 1.2 %, 0.1 %, and 1.8 mg per 100 g fresh fruit, respectively. The proposed non-destructive analysis method shows the potential to overcome the challenges associated with destructive testing methods for assessing certain internal qualities of strawberry fruit.
