Popis: This study demonstrates the use of UV spectroscopy (UV) in combination with chemometrics as a simple and feasible approach for analysis of variety, adulteration, quality and ageing of apple juice. The results show that PCA-UV is adequate to differentiate apple juice varieties and adulteration. The percentage of the adulterant can be detected by PLSR-UV with RMSE 0.9980. For the evaluation of juice quality, PLSR-UV (RMSE=0.2555-2.3448; R-2=0.7276-0.9816) is recommended for the prediction of soluble solids, ascorbic acid, total flavonoids, total sugar and reducing sugar, whilst PCR-UV (RMSE=0.0000-2.7426; R-2=0.7073-1.0000) is adequate for the prediction of pH and antioxidant activity. In addition, PLSR-UV may be used to predict the storage time with RMSE=0.4681day and R-2=0.9832. Therefore, UV coupled with chemometrics has potential to be developed as a portable tool for the detection of variety, adulteration, quality and ageing of not only apple juices, but also other fruit and vegetable juices.
