Dc. Slaughter et al., Non-destructive determination of soluble solids in papayas using near infrared spectroscopy, J NEAR IN S, 7(4), 1999, pp. 223-228
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).
