Abstract

This study investigated the physicochemical and flavor quality changes in fresh-cut papaya that was stored at 4 °C. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to evaluate the freshness of fresh-cut papaya. Aerobic plate counts were selected as a predictor of freshness of fresh-cut papaya, and a prediction model for freshness was established using partial least squares regression (PLSR), and support vector machine regression (SVMR) algorithms. Freshness of fresh-cut papaya could be well distinguished based on physicochemical and flavor quality analyses. The aerobic plate counts, as a predictor of freshness of fresh-cut papaya, significantly correlated with storage time. The SVMR model had a higher prediction accuracy than the PLSR model. Combining flavor quality with multivariate statistical analysis can be effectively used for evaluating the freshness of fresh-cut papaya.

Correlation analysis of physicochemical quality of fresh-cut papaya, e-tongue, and e-nose responses (p < 0.05). The sizes of the circles in the figure are proportional to the correlation; the larger the area, the higher the correlation. The color of the circles indicates a positive or negative correlation, with red depicting a positive and blue depicting a negative correlation.
