Comparative study on detection of moisture content in chestnuts with shell using visible/near infrared,and mid-and short-wave near infrared spectroscopy
In order to detect and evaluate the moisture content of chestnuts with shells non-destructively and rapidly, the quantitative prediction methods based on visible/near-infrared, and mid- and short-wave near-infrared spectroscopy techniques were explored and compared. First, different preprocessings were applied to full spectra in wavebands of I and Ⅱ to establish PLSR models. Results show that SNV preprocessed spectra in waveband I and normalization preprocessed spectra in waveband Ⅱ were individually optimized. The Rp and RMSEP in prediction set achieved 0.882 and 0.856, and 1.389% and 1.665%, respectively. In further steps, iPLSR, BiPLSR and SiPLSR modeling methods based on full spectra with the optimal preprocessing methods were also employed and compared. The models' performance indicates that waveband I is generally superior to waveband Ⅱ, and the iPLSR model performed best with Rp of 0.910 and RMSEP of 1.180%. In this study, the optimal waveband, preprocessing method, and modeling method for detecting the moisture content of chestnuts with shells using near-infrared spectroscopy were confirmed. These results provide important technical and methodological support for high-throughput online rapid detection of chestnut moisture content in the future.
