Summary This study demonstrates the use of UV spectroscopy ( UV ) in combination with chemometrics as a simple and feasible approach for analysis of variety, adulteration, quality and ageing of apple juice. The results show that PCA ‐ UV is adequate to differentiate apple juice varieties and adulteration. The percentage of the adulterant can be detected by PLSR ‐ UV with RMSE < 0.7783% and R 2 > 0.9980. For the evaluation of juice quality, PLSR ‐ UV ( RMSE = 0.2555–2.3448; R 2 = 0.7276–0.9816) is recommended for the prediction of soluble solids, ascorbic acid, total flavonoids, total sugar and reducing sugar, whilst PCR ‐ UV ( RMSE = 0.0000–2.7426; R 2 = 0.7073–1.0000) is adequate for the prediction of pH and antioxidant activity. In addition, PLSR ‐ UV may be used to predict the storage time with RMSE = 0.4681 day and R 2 = 0.9832. Therefore, UV coupled with chemometrics has potential to be developed as a portable tool for the detection of variety, adulteration, quality and ageing of not only apple juices, but also other fruit and vegetable juices.
