“…More recently, a portable Luminar 5030 NIR was used by Jha et al () to assess a maturity index estimated based on SSC, DM, and TA in seven mango varieties. Rungpichayapichet, Mahayothee, Nagle, Khuwijitjaru, and Müller () used a portable VIS‐NIR photo‐diode array spectrometer (HandySpec Field 1000, tec5AG) to study mango fruit quality and maturity and good results were reported for SSC prediction, standard error of prediction (SEP) of 1.2% and a correlation coefficient ( R 2 ) of 0.90, for firmness prediction (SEP of 4.22 N and R 2 of 0.82), and for TA prediction (SEP of 0.38% and R 2 of 0.74). Marques, Freitas, Pimentel, and Pasquini () studying ‘Tommy Atkins’ mangoes used a portable MicroNIR 1700 to predict SSC, DM, TA, and firmness with low root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), 0.92°Brix, 0.51%, 0.17%, and 12.2 N, respectively.…”
