Reflectance spectra for sound and discolored lettuce surfaces were extracted from hyperspectral reflectance images obtained in the 400\u20131000 nm wavelength range. The optimal wavebands for discriminating between discolored and sound lettuce surfaces were determined using one-way analysis of variance. Multi-spectral imaging algorithms developed using ratio and subtraction functions resulted in enhanced classification accuracy of above 99.9% for discolored and sound areas on both adaxial and abaxial lettuce surfaces. Ratio imaging (RI) and subtraction imaging (SI) algorithms at wavelengths of 552\/701 nm and 557\u2013701 nm, respectively, exhibited better classification performances compared to results obtained for all possible two-waveband combinations. These results suggest that hyperspectral reflectance imaging techniques can potentially be used to discriminate between discolored and sound fresh-cut lettuce.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s151129511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,24]],"date-time":"2015-11-24T01:57:02Z","timestamp":1448330222000},"page":"29511-29534","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Detection of Lettuce Discoloration Using Hyperspectral Reflectance Imaging"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Changyeun","family":"Mo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Agricultural Science, Rural Development Administration, 310 Nonsaengmyeong-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do 54875, Korea"}]},{"given":"Giyoung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Agricultural Science, Rural Development Administration, 310 Nonsaengmyeong-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do 54875, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2501-4367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jongguk","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Agricultural Science, Rural Development Administration, 310 Nonsaengmyeong-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do 54875, Korea"}]},{"given":"Moon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Microbiology and Food Safety Laboratory, BARC-East, Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture, 10300 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, MD 20705, USA"}]},{"given":"Hyunjeong","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experiment &amp; Research Institute, National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, 141 Yongjeon-ro, Gimcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do 39660, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8397-9853","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byoung-Kwan","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosystems Machinery Engineering, College of Agricultural and Life Science, Chungnam National University, 99 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"723","DOI":"10.21273\/HORTSCI.28.7.723","article-title":"Physiological attributes and storage life of minimally processed lettuce","volume":"28","author":"Couture","year":"1993","journal-title":"Hortscience"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1016\/0925-5214(93)90058-B","article-title":"Phenolic metabolism and ethanolic fermentation of intact and cut lettuce exposed to CO2-enriched atmospheres","volume":"3","author":"Mateos","year":"1993","journal-title":"Postharvest Biol.
