Dendrobium is the largest genus of orchids most of which have excellent medicinal properties. Fresh stems of some species have been consumed in daily life by Asians for thousands of years. However, there are differences in flavour and clinical efficacy among different species. Therefore, it is necessary for a detector to establish an effective and rapid method controlling botanical origins of these crude materials. In our study, three spectroscopies including mid-infrared (MIR) (transmission and reflection mode) and near-infrared (NIR) spectra were investigated for authentication of 12 Dendrobium species. Generally, two fusion strategies, reflection MIR and NIR spectra, were combined with three mathematical models (random forest, support vector machine with grid search (SVM-GS) and partial least-squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA)) for discrimination analysis. In conclusion, a low-level fusion strategy comprising two spectra after pretreated by the second derivative and multiplicative scatter correction was recommended for discrimination analysis because of its excellent performance in three models. Compared with MIR spectra, NIR spectra were more responsible for the discrimination according to a bi-plot analysis of PLS-DA. Moreover, SVM-GS and PLS-DA were suitable for accurate discrimination (100% accuracy rates) of calibration and validation sets. The protocol combined with low-level fusion strategy and chemometrics provides a rapid and effective reference for control of botanical origins in crude Dendrobium materials.

Abstract Spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometrics are a promising tool for analysis of seized drug powders. In this study, the performance of three spectroscopic techniques [Mid-InfraRed (MIR), Raman and Near-InfraRed (NIR)] was compared. In total, 364 seized powders were analyzed and consisted of 276 cocaine powders (with concentrations ranging from 4 to 99 w%) and 88 powders without cocaine. A classification model (using Support Vector Machines [SVM] discriminant analysis) and a quantification model (using SVM regression) were constructed with each spectral dataset in order to discriminate cocaine powders from other powders and quantify cocaine in powders classified as cocaine positive. The performances of the models were compared with gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection (GC–FID). Different evaluation criteria were used: number of false negatives (FNs), number of false positives (FPs), accuracy, root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) and determination coefficients (R2). Ten colored powders were excluded from the classification data set due to fluorescence background observed in Raman spectra. For the classification, the best accuracy (99.7%) was obtained with MIR spectra. With Raman and NIR spectra, the accuracy was 99.5% and 98.9%, respectively. For the quantification, the best results were obtained with NIR spectra. The cocaine content was determined with a RMSECV of 3.79% and a R2 of 0.97. The performance of MIR and Raman to predict cocaine concentrations was lower than NIR, with RMSECV of 6.76% and 6.79%, respectively and both with a R2 of 0.90. The three spectroscopic techniques can be applied for both classification and quantification of cocaine, but some differences in performance were detected. The best classification was obtained with MIR spectra. For quantification, however, the RMSECV of MIR and Raman was twice as high in comparison with NIR. Spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometrics can reduce the workload for confirmation analysis (e.g., chromatography based) and therefore save time and resources.

AbstractTricholoma matsutakeis (TM) is the most expensive edible fungi in China. Given its price and exclusivity, some dishonest merchants will sell adulterated TM by combining it with cheaper fungi in an attempt to earn more profits. This fraudulent behavior has broken food laws and violated consumer trust. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a rapid, accurate, and nondestructive tool to discriminate TM from other edible fungi. In this work, a novel detection algorithm combined with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and functional principal component analysis (FPCA) is proposed. Firstly, the raw NIR data were pretreated by locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) and multiplication scatter correction (MSC). Then, FPCA was used to extract valuable information from the preprocessed NIR data. Then, a classifier was designed by using the least-squares support-vector machine (LS-SVM) to distinguish categories of edible fungi. Furthermore, the one-versus-one (OVO) strategy was included and the binary LS-SVM was extended to a multi-class classifier. The 166 samples of four varieties of fungi were used to validate the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method has great capability in near infrared spectra classification, and the average accurate of FPCA-LSSVM is 97.3% which is greater than that of PCA-LSSVM (93.5%).

Spectral measurement techniques, such as the near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy, have been intensively researched. Nevertheless, even today, these techniques are still sparsely applied in industry due to their unpredictable and unstable measurements. This paper put forward two data fusion strategies (low-level and mid-level fusion) for combining the NIR and Raman spectra to generate fusion spectra or fusion characteristics in order to improve the in-line measurement precision of component content of molten polymer blends. Subsequently, the fusion value was applied to modeling. For evaluating the response of different models to data fusion strategy, partial least squares (PLS) regression, artificial neural network (ANN), and extreme learning machine (ELM) were applied to the modeling of four kinds of spectral data (NIR, Raman, low-level fused data, and mid-level fused data). A system simultaneously acquiring in-line NIR and Raman spectra was built, and the polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) blends, which had different grades and covered different compounding percentages of PP, were prepared for use as a case study. The results show that data fusion strategies improve the ANN and ELM model. In particular, mid-level fusion enables the in-line measurement of component content of molten polymer blends to become more accurate and robust.

The traceability of a Chinese white lotus seed (WLS) with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) was investigated using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and chemometrics. Three chemometrics methods, discrimination analysis (DA), class modeling, and a newly proposed strategy, the fusion of DA and class modeling, were investigated to compare their capacity to trace the geographical origins of WLS. Least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) was developed to distinguish the PDO WLS from non-PDO WLS of four main producing areas. A class modeling technique, one-class partial least squares (OCPLS), was developed only using the data of PDO WLS. By the fusion of LS-SVM and OCPLS, the best prediction sensitivity and specificity were 0.900 and 0.973, respectively. The results indicate that fusion of DA and class modeling can enhance the specificity for detection of non-PDO products. The conclusion is that DA and class modeling should be combined for tracing food geographical origins.

NIR spectroscopy has been applied in detecting inside quality of chestnut successfully. In this work, Support Vector Machine Discriminant Analysis was utilized to identify the qualified chestnuts, the serious moldy chestnuts and the slight moldy chestnuts using their Near infrared spectra region from 833 nm to 2500 nm. 109 chestnut samples were involved and four different preprocessing methods were compared. The results showed that for all the models, the average correct rates of training set and validation set were higher than 90%. The performance of model based on raw spectra was not as good as other models, which indicated the necessity of preprocessing. The models based on the spectra preprocessed by first derivative and multiplicative scatter correction had the same performances, with 97% and 85% as the correct rate of training set and validation set. The models based on the spectra preprocessed by Standard normal transformation has 100% correct rate of training set while 88% of validation set. The second derivative model had the best result with 100% and 90% as the correct rate of training set and validation set. These results demonstrated that the NIR spectroscopy had capability to detect interior mildew of intact chestnut nondestructively.

The quality of strawberry powder depends on the freshness of the fruit that produces the powder. Therefore, identifying whether the strawberry powder is made from freshly available, short-term stored, or long-term stored strawberries is important to provide consumers with quality-assured strawberry powder. Nevertheless, such identification is difficult by naked eyes, as the powder colours are very close. In this work, based on the measurement of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of strawberry powered, good classification results of 100.00% correct rates to distinguish whether the strawberry powder was made from freshly available or stored fruit was obtained. Furthermore, partial least squares regression and least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) models were established based on NIR, MIR, and combination of NIR and MIR data with full variables or optimal variables of strawberry powder to predict the storage days of strawberries that produced the powder. Optimal variables were selected by successive projections algorithm (SPA), uninformation variable elimination, and competitive adaptive reweighted sampling, respectively. The best model was determined as the SPA-LS-SVM model based on MIR spectra, which had the residual prediction deviation (RPD) value of 11.198 and the absolute difference between root-mean-square error of calibration and prediction (AB_RMSE) value of 0.505. The results of this work confirmed the feasibility of using NIR and MIR spectroscopic techniques for rapid identification of strawberry powder made from freshly available and stored strawberry.

The aim of this work is to identify the adulteration of edible gelatin using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with supervised pattern recognition methods. The spectral data obtained from a total of 144 samples consisting of six kinds of adulterated gelatin gels with different mixture ratios were processed with multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), Savitzky–Golay (SG) smoothing, and min-max normalization. Principal component analysis (PCA) was first carried out for spectral analysis, while the six gelatin categories could not be clearly distinguished. Further, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA), backpropagation neural network (BPNN), and support vector machine (SVM) were introduced to establish discrimination models for identifying the adulterated gelatin gels, which gave a total correct recognition rate of 97.44%, 100%, 97.44%, and 100%, respectively. For the SIMCA model with significant level α = 0.05, sample overlapping clustering appeared; thus, the SVM model presents the best recognition ability among these four discrimination models for the classification of edible gelatin adulteration. The results demonstrate that NIR spectroscopy combined with unsupervised pattern recognition methods can quickly and accurately identify edible gelatin with different adulteration levels, providing a new possibility for the detection of industrial gelatin illegally added into food products.

Macrohyporia cocos is a medicinal and edible fungi, which is consumed widely. The epidermis and inner part of its sclerotium are used separately. M. cocos quality is influenced by geographical origins, so an effective and accurate geographical authentication method is required. Liquid chromatograms at 242 nm and 210 nm (LC242 and LC210) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of two parts were applied to authenticate the geographical origin of cultivated M. cocos combined with low and mid-level data fusion strategies, and partial least squares discriminant analysis. Data pretreatment involved correlation optimized warping and second derivative. The results showed that the potential of the chromatographic fingerprint was greater than that of five triterpene acids contents. LC242-FTIR low-level fusion took full advantage of information synergy and showed good performance. Further, the predictive ability of the FTIR low-level fusion model of two parts was satisfactory. The performance of the low-level fusion strategy preceded those of the single technique and mid-level fusion strategy. The inner parts were more suitable for origin identification than the epidermis. This study proved the feasibility of the data fusion of chromatograms and spectra, and the data fusion of different parts for the accurate authentication of geographical origin. This method is meaningful for the quality control of food and the protection of geographical indication products.

Due to its portability, convenience, and low cost, incompletely closed near-infrared (ICNIR) imaging equipment (mixed light reflection imaging) is used for ultra thin sensor modules and have good application prospects. However, equipment with incompletely closed structure also brings some problems. Some finger vein images are not clear and there are sparse or even missing veins, which results in poor recognition performance. For these poor quality ICNIR images, however, there is additional fingerprint information in the image. The analysis of ICNIR images reveals that the fingerprint and finger vein in a single ICNIR image can be enhanced and separated. We propose a feature-level fusion recognition algorithm using a single ICNIR finger image. Firstly, we propose contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) and grayscale normalization to enhance fingerprint and finger vein texture, respectively. Then we propose an adaptive radius local binary pattern (ADLBP) feature combined with uniform pattern to extract the features of fingerprint and finger vein. It solves the problem that traditional local binary pattern (LBP) is unable to describe the texture features of different sizes in ICNIR images. Finally, we fuse the feature vectors of ADLBP block histogram for a fingerprint and finger vein, and realize feature-layer fusion recognition by a threshold decision support vector machine (T-SVM). The experimentation results showed that the performance of the proposed algorithm was noticeably better than that of the single model recognition algorithm.

BACKGROUND: Measuring medicinal compounds to evaluate their quality and efficacy has been recognized as a useful approach in treatment. Rhubarb anthraquinones compounds (mainly including aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion) are its main effective components as purgating drug. In the current Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the total anthraquinones content is designated as its quantitative quality and control index while the content of each compound has not been specified. METHODS: On the basis of forty rhubarb samples, the correlation models between the near infrared spectra and UPLC analysis data were constructed using support vector machine (SVM) and partial least square (PLS) methods according to Kennard and Stone algorithm for dividing the calibration/prediction datasets. Good models mean they have high correlation coefficients (R2) and low root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) values. RESULTS: The models constructed by SVM have much better performance than those by PLS methods. The SVM models have high R2 of 0.8951, 0.9738, 0.9849, 0.9779, 0.9411 and 0.9862 that correspond to aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol, physcion and total anthraquinones contents, respectively. The corresponding RMSEPs are 0.3592, 0.4182, 0.4508, 0.7121, 0.8365 and 1.7910, respectively. 75% of the predicted results have relative differences being lower than 10%. As for rhein and total anthraquinones, all of the predicted results have relative differences being lower than 10%. CONCLUSION: The nonlinear models constructed by SVM showed good performances with predicted values close to the experimental values. This can perform the rapid determination of the main medicinal ingredients in rhubarb medicinal materials.
