- Method / resource NIR and FTIR spectra discriminated apple cultivars and storage durations with reasonable accuracy.
- Observation Spectra of apples showed no significant information from picking dates or shelf life periods.
- Association Differences between cultivars and storage periods mostly related to the number of aliphatic chains.
- Observation Raman spectroscopy and DRIFTS gave no satisfactory results for apple wax.
