, the best spectra pretreatment were determined by comparing the performance of two fold-group repeated cross-validation (2 random groups of 30 samples selected at random, repeated 50 times) [6] . Model results for TS content and for CP content ( table 3 & 4 ), for the best spectra pretreatment (among SNV, derivatives, normalization) were evaluated on the basis of the coefficient of determination (R ² cv ) and the root mean square standard error of cross-validation
