This study aimed to rapidly and nondestructively monitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)-induced modulation of sugars accumulation in ripening 'Hayward' kiwifruit by hyperspectral imaging (HSI). Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa var. Hayward) were treated with 0.5 μL L−1 1-MCP for 24 h at 23 °C and then stored for 20 d at room temperature for ripening. Hyperspectral images of 1-MCP treated and control fruit were recorded using a visible/near infrared (Vis/NIR) HSI system (400–1000 nm). The mean reflectance spectra of the inner cortex and the core were combined together to build a robust model for sugar contents in sliced samples. The best prediction accuracy for glucose, fructose, and sucrose in control fruit based on less than 10 selected features were: R2P of 0.934, 0.867, and 0.705, respectively. Moreover, the visualization maps showed a different sugar accumulation between treated and control fruit, with the sugar contents in the 1-MCP treated kiwifruit being significantly inhibited and the inhibitions were more effective in inner cortex than the core. The current study presented a rapid method for glucose, fructose, and sucrose detection in intact and fresh-cut kiwifruit as well as provided some insights for the effects of 1-MCP action on sugar accumulation through visualizing their distributions.
