Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been used to predict fruit quality. However, thereʼs few previous studies which use small and lightweight devices and they didnʼt construct models for each cultivar although each tomato cultivar has its own characteristics such as color and size. In this study, models to nondestructively determine fruit quality of tomato cultivars A (orange-colored cherry tomato), B (red-colored cherry tomato), C (red-colored cocktail tomato), and D (orange-colored cocktail tomato) were constructed using an inexpensive, portable near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic device (spectral response range: 590-1,050 nm). We irradiated the tomato fruits and analyzed the spectra of the scattered light. The spectral data were preprocessed using four different methods (min-max normalization, 1st differential, 2nd differential and combination of normalization and 1st differential). The soluble solid content (SSC) and citric acid content (CAC) of the fruits were determined by destructive methods. Partial least-squares regression was used to construct models for predicting the SSC and CAC from the preprocessed spectra. The best preprocessing method differed by cultivar. For the best and worst models of SCC, the R2 values were 0.80 and -0.1, respectively. Model performance may differ according to the color of the pericarp. Also, selection of an appropriate preprocessing method is important when using small spectroscopic devices to measure tomato fruit quality.

Calcium is widely accepted as the main factor responsible for blossom-end rot (BER) appearance in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage plant tissues have also been proposed to initiate BER appearance in tomatoes and other fruit-bearing vegetables. Ascorbate, the major antioxidant in tomato fruit, is generally lower during green fruit development, which corresponds to the stage of BER appearance. Accordingly, one hypothesis is that tomato cultivars with a lower susceptibility to BER under salt stress have higher ascorbate contents and thus better control of ROS levels. In this study, to clarify the relationship between BER incidence and oxidative stress, two BER resistant cultivars, ‘Managua RZ’ and ‘House Momotaro’ and one BER-susceptible cultivar ‘Reiyoh’, were cultivated under salinity or standard nutrient solution (control) conditions. Calcium, potassium, magnesium, total hydro-soluble antioxidants, and ascorbate concentrations were measured in the distal pericarp 1 to 2 days prior to symptom appearance and during symptom appearance in healthy and affected fruits. When salt stress was applied, only BER-resistant cultivars showed a significant increase in ascorbate contents prior to BER appearance as compared with their levels under the control condition. In contrast, pre-BER Ca2+ concentrations did not associate with the BER susceptibility of each cultivar. Interestingly, ‘Reiyoh’ showed much higher K+/Ca2+ and (K++Mg2+)/Ca2+ ratios than the two other cultivars in healthy fruits due to a strong tendency towards lowered Ca2+ concentrations. A similar tendency was also observed in apple “bitter pit”. The ability to increase the fruit antioxidant capacity and maintain mineral balance under salt stress conditions may explain the resistance to BER development in highly resistant cultivars, probably by the avoidance of oxidative-induced cell necrosis and stabilization of the cell membranes, respectively.
