Embodiment example 1

[0032] A total of 212 apples of six different varieties without damage and no pests and diseases were selected. Among them, there are 30 varieties of A, 27 of varieties B, 40 of varieties C, 50 of varieties D, 30 of varieties E, and 35 of varieties F; each apple is numbered.

[0033] The infrared spectrometer adopts the method of diffuse reflection, randomly selects 15 points on the equatorial surface of each apple for spectral scanning, and collects 2047 points in the spectral region of 500-1300nm. The spectral data collected at 15 sampling points of each sample were averaged for subsequent data processing.

[0034] The sugar content of each apple sample was detected by a handheld digital refractometer. Firstly, clean the prism of the sugar meter with distilled water and wipe off the water, then calibrate and zero, then cut the apple whose spectrum has been measured with a clean knife and squeeze out the juice on the mirror surface of the refracting prism for two consecutive...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for quickly and non-destructively detecting variety, sugar degree and acidity of an apple, and belongs to the technical field of food detection. The method disclosed by the invention comprises the following steps: acquiring a near infrared spectrum of an apple sample, and simultaneously, respectively detecting the sugar degree and the acidity of the apple through a handheld refraction sugar degree meter and a pen type pH meter; then, performing dimension reduction processing on the pre-processed apple spectrum data with a principal component analysis method, and optimizing by using a genetic algorithm; finally, classifying with a BP neural network method, and finally, determining an optimal prediction model through repeated verification. According to the BP neural network-based prediction model established by the invention, the variety, the sugar degree and the acidity of the apple can be predicted very well. In a conventional method, the apple is required to be damaged, so that the conventional method is destructive detection; moreover, the sugar degree and the acidity are required to be detected respectively; the variety of the apple cannot be detected through a suitable method. The method has the advantages of non-destructiveness, quickness, low cost, no sample pre-treatment, no chemical reagent, no pollution and the like; moreover, the variety, the sugar degree and the acidity of the apple can be predicted simultaneously.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food detection, and in particular relates to a method for rapidly and nondestructively detecting the variety, sugar content and acidity of apples. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, people's consumption of fruits is increasing day by day. The requirements for fruit quality are no longer limited to appearance, and people pay more attention to its inner quality. Sugar content and acidity are important indicators of the internal quality of fruits, not only affecting the sweetness and color of fruits, but also important raw materials for the synthesis of carotenoids and other nutrients. As a big fruit producing country in the world, my country has a wide variety of apples, and better varieties are also one of the important determinants of people's selective consumption. Therefore, rapid detection of fruit varieties and internal quality can better meet co...
