The influence of parent and harvest year on the determination of oil, moisture, oleic acid, and linoleic acid contents in intact olive fruit was studied by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Spectral data from 400 to 1700 nm were recorded on 437 fruit samples collected in 1996 and 1997 from seedling plants derived from three different female parents. Partial least squares models were developed using samples for each year and for each female parent separately and were validated against the other groups. Calibration models were accurate enough to predict all constituents in new samples from a different female parent but were not transferable across years. However, a calibration equation of sufficient accuracy was obtained from the combined data set (r values of 0.94, 0.93, 0.84, and 0.88 and RMSECV values of 1.33, 1.88, 4.73, and 2.91 for oil, moisture, oleic acid, and linoleic acid contents, respectively). These results demonstrate the utility of NIRS as a selection tool in olive breeding programs.
