Abstract

Stone fruits play a significant role in fruit breeding, gastronomy, and industry, largely due to their beneficial nutritional composition. Ensuring the quality of these seasonal fruits poses a substantial challenge due to intensive customer demand. In this study, through the example of sour cherries, we demonstrate how quality variations can be effectively controlled at specific critical points along the supply chain. Paired with various chemometric methods, near infrared spectroscopy reliably classified fruits based on their harvest maturity, different stages of Monilinia brown rot, and predicted the content of added foreign fruit extracts for functionality enhancement in sour cherry juices. The applied approach supports agricultural digitisation and food safety.
