Abstract
A non-destructive optical method for determining the soluble solids content of fresh whole papayas (Carica papaya L.) "Kapoho Solo" was investigated. The method, based upon near infrared spectrophotometric techniques, could p redict the soluble solids content of papayas (r(2) = 0.84, SEC = 1.1 degree s Brix, SEP = 1.1 degrees Brix).
