“…As early as 20 years ago, Slaughter, Barrett, and Boersig (1996) and Peiris, Dull, Leffler, and Kays (1998) demonstrated the feasibility of using this spectroscopy to detect soluble solids content in fresh tomatoes. Later, this technique was also used to detect firmness (Feng, Zhang, Adhikari, & Guo, 2019), pH, total sugar (Tiwari et al, 2013), total acid (Pedro & Ferreira, 2007), lycopene contents (Sheng et al, 2019), and so forth. However, the conventional Vis–NIRS only can measure a specific small area (or point) without providing spatial information of the tested object.…”
