Abstract:
An accurate yet rapid assessment of pungency and color values is pivotal for the commercial processing of pepper, underscoring the critical need for high-throughput detection techniques. This study investigates a rapid method for determining the pungency and color value of paprika via LED-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. A simultaneous detection instrument was developed with a proposed fluorescence correction method to reduce the impact of excitation light reflected by the sample. The corrected spectra could improve the performance of pungency prediction. The best pungency model achieved a Rc2 of 0.941, Rcv2 of 0.935, RMSEC of 6813.41 SHU and RMSECV of 6959.97 SHU. The best color value model achieved an Rc2 of 0.862, Rcv2 of 0.822 RMSEC of 1.233 and RMSECV of 1.402. This study offers a practical solution for simultaneous quality assessment suitable for industrial deployment, with the potential to extend this methodology to diverse cultivars.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
