Abstract
In order to explore and establish an non-destructive method for the detection of mouldy core in apples,the changes of seven impedance parameters with frequency and three physiochemical quality properties were measured on normal fruits and mouldy-core fruits of Fuji apple using LCR instrument under 100 Hz to 3.98 MHz,1.0 voltage and constant temperature of(20 ± 1) ℃.The results showed that with increasing frequency,complex impedance(Z) and parallel resistance(R p) of apples revealed a decrease whereas susceptance(B) and conductance(G) exhibited an increase.Significant linear relationship between lgf and lgZ or lgB was observed,respectively(R2 0.99);phase angle(θ),logarithm of parallel capacitance(lgC p) and logarithm of loss coefficient(lgD) revealed a fluctuating trend,with 1,2 and 3 turning points,respectively.Mouldy-core incidence did not change the trend of each impedance parameter-frequency curve in fruits,but the values of some parameters were altered,for example,Z decrease,B and C p increased.Totally 27 specific impedance parameters with non-zero loading coefficient for the construction of 14 effective principal components were screened through sparse principal component analysis(SPCA).When recognizing mouldy-core fruits using classifiers of support vector machine(SVM) and artificial neural network(ANN),SVM provided higher accuracy.In addition,in 10 crossvalidation classification tests,mouldy core fruits could be discriminated with an accuracy of 94%,confirming the validity of impedance parameters screened and the feasibility of SPCA-SVM analysis software for discriminating mouldy-core from normal fruits.Moreover,the incidence of mouldy-core fruits presented a decrease in density and soluble solid contents in comparison to normal fruits,which provided a physiochemical basis for changes in bio-impedance properties.
