Cross‐regional and temporal generalizability of portable visible spectroscopy for olive maturity classification

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Olive maturity governs lot destination and the yield–quality trade‐off in olive oil production, yet it is still monitored by subjective visual scoring of the Jaén index. Spectroscopic alternatives have relied mainly on near‐infrared instruments, with scarce evidence from Brazilian orchards and almost no evaluation of spatial or ...
