NIRS chemometrics for rapid nutritional profiling of vegetable pea (Pisum sativum L.) germplasm.

ABSTRACT: Vegetable pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a nutritionally rich food source with a balanced profile of macronutrients and micronutrients, contributing multiple health benefits and plays a crucial role in combating nutritional deficiencies. Its nutritional diversity encompassing high range of protein, starch, soluble sugars, and phenolic content, renders it an ideal candidate for nutritional profiling, which is essential for mining Nutri-dense accessions. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a valuable alternative to conventional methods for nutritional profiling, offering rapid, accurate, less laborious, cost-effective, and non-destructive analysis with the capability to measure multiple parameters simultaneously for large-scale germplasms. This investigation developed NIRS prediction
