Zusammenfassung:•The effect of different spectrum measurement positions on SSC prediction were analyze.•The spectrum of separate local region could be used to predict the SSC of intact fruit.•The uneven distribution of peel thickness affected the accuracy of prediction model.•Multi-region combination model could improve the SSC prediction ability of citrus. Fruit is complicated natural production and the chemical components are heterogeneous at different position, the comprehensive quality evaluation for intact fruit is thefairest way for avoiding the nonuniform distribution. In order to build a higher accuracy model for soluble solids content (SSC) evaluation, the visible/near infrared spectra of citrus were collected from stem, equator and navel positions to analyze the influence of spectrum measurement position on the prediction accuracy of SSC. The SSC value gradually reduced from navel to equator and stem positions by sequence, but the trend of peel thickness of these three regions were opposite of SSC. The coefficientcorrelation of SSC between intact fruit and three local regions reached remarkablelevel, which proved it was feasible to build an accurate model for SSC prediction of intact fruit using the spectral information of local positions. Then separate local models based on specific position spectrum (stem, equator and navel) were built, the result showed the equator position was more suitable to evaluate SSC of intact fruit than navel and stem positions due to the better prediction accuracy, however the unpredictability and variation of the spectral collection position is a challenge to the prediction ability of intact fruit quality. Next multi-region combination models that fusing spectral information of multiple positions were developed, the combination models of ‘Equator + Navel’ and ‘Stem + Equator + Navel’ achieved optimal performance than other combination models and all separate local models, with the correlation coefficient of prediction set (Rpre) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.8507, 0.8424 and 0.6015°Brix, 0.5901°Brix, respectively. It indicated that the peel thickness interfered the acquisition of spectral information of flesh layer, but the accuracy and robust of the prediction model could be improved through fusing the spectral information of multiple regions. Therefore, the fusion of multi-information sets should be deserved more attention to build a practicable model that is not sensitive to the variation of spectrum measu
