Abstract
Near infrared (NIR) and mid infrared (MIR) spectral acquisition modes were compared for predicting organoleptic and phytochemical quality attributes of pomegranate juice. Three Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers namely, a FT-NIR spectrometer, FT-MIR spectrometer in attenuated total reflection mode and FT-MIR spectrometer in transmission mode were used. Calibration models were constructed by subjecting the spectral data to partial least squares regression analysis. The models were assessed based on their overall performance (lower root mean square error of prediction, the number of latent variables and residual predictive deviation). The predictive abilities of the instruments for juice quality attributes were statistically compared using Bland and Altman, and Passing-Bablok. The outcomes are critically discussed, which showed the suitability of the FT-MIR spectrometer in transmission mode for predicting selected quality attributes of pomegranate juice.
