Abstract: In this article, the amount of sugar and fiber in watermelon was determined by NIRs(near-infrared spectroscopy). The correlation coefficient of chemical assay value vs. predicted value of sugar is 0.994.The correlation coefficient of chemical assay value vs. predicted value of fiber is 0.985.This method can be used for the rapid determination of watermelon quality.

Key words: NIRs, watermelon, sugar, fiber
