The results obtained in this study clearly showed that it is possible to calibrate IR spectroscopic instruments for the measurement of vitamin C in KP plum powder samples. Mid-infrared spectroscopy showed the most promising results; however, Fourier transform near-infrared (FTNIR) spectroscopy also produced models capable of good quantification of this important bioactive compound and vitamin. These findings are promising in terms of using high-throughput IR spectroscopy as a routine technology to determine vitamin C in plant-based foods and derived products. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
