The regional names of jujubes often appear together with the varieties, so spectral classification faces a practical problem: is it the geographical origin that separates them, or is it a combination of different varieties and processing conditions? This study uses red dates from multiple regions to compare classification methods, and the high recognition rate needs to be interpreted back into the sample design.
Summary
The study collected near-infrared spectra of red dates from four groups of regions and varieties, and classified them after preprocessing and discriminant feature extraction. The optimal configuration performed better in the closed test set. Since sources, varieties and drying conditions may be mixed, the results apply to the established known categories and cannot be broken down into pure geographical origin certification capabilities.

Why It Matters
The joint labeling of source and variety can be used to check the purchasing category, and further verification requires breaking down the variety and regional influence.
Methods and Reference Measurements
60 fruits each of Dunhuang Junzao, Xinzheng Gray Date, Jishan Banzao, and Ruoqiang Gray Date were wiped and screened to eliminate insect damage defects; 40 of each type were trained and 20 tested, with a total of 160/80. 25℃, 50–60%RH, NIR-M-R2 preheating for one hour, and average of three equatorial sweeps at 900–1700nm. After SG preprocessing, Adaboost-CLDA is used for dimensionality reduction, KNN/Bayes classification is used, and the labels are region-variety combinations; the optical mode and optical path are not clear.
Wavelengths and Acquisition Parameters
| Band/parameter | Original meaning and usage instructions |
|---|---|
| 900–1700 nm | 228-dimensional NIR, averaged three times per fruit at the equator. |
| About 1180, 1430 nm | 8475/6993cm⁻¹ corresponds to the broad peak of the sample, with water and matrix superimposed, and is not specific to the origin. |
Key Findings
The optimal configuration can achieve 100% test accuracy; it belongs to the four known categories of discrimination and cannot be disassembled into pure geographical source proof.
Limitations and Interpretation
Origin varieties and drying conditions are mixed; high accuracy is within the 80-fruit closed test set.
