Transmittance spectra in wavelength range of 299–1100 nm
of 95 bananas were acquired using a portable NIR spectrometer
(model AvaSpec-2048, 0.04–20 nm resolution Avantes, USA) connected
to 30 W halogen lamp and sample holder (Fig. 1), similar
to Jha and Garg (2010) with 400 micron single optical fiber andspectra wiz software (version 3.3).
