“…In the available literature, there are reports on the use of machine learning and image analysis for objective evaluation of food products, including the results on cultivar discrimination (e.g., Alipasandi, Ghaffari, & Alibeyglu, 2013; Ronald & Evans, 2016; Ropelewska, 2020; Ropelewska, 2021a; Ropelewska, 2021b; Ropelewska, 2021c; Sofu, Erb, Kayacan, & Cetişli, 2016). In addition to cultivar discrimination, machine learning was successfully applied, among others, for the maturity determination of apples with the combination with visible and near‐infrared spectroscopy (Zhang et al, 2020). The evaluation of apple maturation was also performed using color and spectral data by Pourdarbani et al (2020).…”
