Reflectance Visible/near-infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the effect of peel on the non-destructive soluble solids content prediction of oranges. The spectra were interpreted and partial least squares model was developed for both intact and peeled oranges at two wavelength ranges of 450–1000 and 700–1000 nm. Results showed that the wavelengths of the main absorbance peaks on the spectra of the intact and peeled samples were the same (p > 0.05). Moreover, the developed models yielded a good prediction accuracy of soluble solids content (2.5 < standard deviation ratio < 3) for intact oranges as well as the peeled fruits at the spectral ranges of 450–1000 and 700–1000 nm (p > 0.05). It was also noted that the effect of peel chemical composition can be ignored in non-destructive spectroscopy of intact citrus for determination of soluble solids content.
