The purpose of this work was to investigate the detection of the pesticide residual (profenofos) in tomatoes by using visible/near-infrared spectroscopy. Therefore, the experiments were performed on 180 tomato samples with different percentages of profenofos pesticide (higher and lower values than the maximum residual limit (MRL)) as compared to the control (no pesticide). VIS/near infrared (NIR) spectral data from pesticide solution and non-pesticide tomato samples (used as control treatment) impregnated with different concentrations of pesticide in the range of 400 to 1050 nm were recorded by a spectrometer. For classification of tomatoes with pesticide content at lower and higher levels of MRL as healthy and unhealthy samples, we used different spectral pre-processing methods with partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models. The Smoothing Moving Average pre-processing method with the standard error of cross validation (SECV) = 4.2767 was selected as the best model for this study. In addition, in the calibration and prediction sets, the percentages of total correctly classified samples were 90 and 91.66%, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that reflective spectroscopy (VIS/NIR) can be used as a non-destructive, low-cost, and rapid technique to control the health of tomatoes impregnated with profenofos pesticide.

AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) has embodied the recent technology in the food industry over the past few decades due to the rising of food demands in line with the increasing of the world population. The capability of the said intelligent systems in various tasks such as food quality determination, control tools, classification of food, and prediction purposes has intensified their demand in the food industry. Therefore, this paper reviews those diverse applications in comparing their advantages, limitations, and formulations as a guideline for selecting the most appropriate methods in enhancing future AI- and food industry–related developments. Furthermore, the integration of this system with other devices such as electronic nose, electronic tongue, computer vision system, and near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is also emphasized, all of which will benefit both the industry players and consumers.

Cocoa bean (Theobrama cacao) is an essential raw material in the manufacture of chocolate, and their classification is crucial for the synthesis of good chocolate flavour. Cocoa beans appear to be very similar to one another when visualised. Hence, an electronic device named the electronic nose (E-Nose) is used to classify the odor of cocoa beans to give the best cocoa bean quality. E-nose is a set of an array of chemical sensors used to sense the gas vapours produced by the cocoa bean and the raw data collected was kept in Microsoft Excel, and the classification took place in Octave. They then underwent normalisation technique to increase classification accuracy, and their features were extracted using mean calculation. The features were classified using CBR, and the similarity value is obtained. The results show that CBR's classification accuracy, specificity and sensitivity are all 100%.

Abstract Background: Cabernet Sauvignon wine enjoys large market in China, and its adulteration has become a well-known problem and challenge. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the capabilities of multiple techniques, including headspace–solid-phase microextraction–GC-MS (HS-SPME-GC-MS), electronic tongue (E-tongue) spectroscopy, mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, to differentiate this popular imported wine in China. Methods: MIR spectroscopy, NIR spectroscopy, E-tongue spectroscopy, and HS-SPME-GC-MS were used. Multivariate analysis techniques were applied to further explore the instrumental determination data for the wine discrimination. Results: Joint use of MIR and NIR with Grey relational analysis (GRA), E-tongue with principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis, and HS-SPME-GC-MS with PCA allowed unanimous differentiation of the wines. Conclusions: The approach described herein offers both ecologically friendly and multiperspective mutual corroboration techniques for Cabernet Sauvignon wine discrimination. The integrative methodology could be used as a reference for wine authentication. Highlights: GRA was first applied to discriminate the wine samples. Mutual corroboration was verified by multivariate statistics combined with MIR, NIR, E-tongue, and SPME-GC/MS. Integrated techniques pointed to a unanimous authentication of the wine samples.

Honey is produced by honeybees and is used as a food and medical product. Adulteration of honey has been a problem for several years now because of the relatively high price of honey on the market according to its valuable composition. The aim of our study is to determine the physicochemical properties of authentic Hungarian linden and acacia honeys (pure samples or manipulated ones blended with sugar syrup) as well as commercially available blends of European Union (EU) non-European Union (non-EU) honeys. Authentic linden and acacia were blended with sugar syrup at 10%, 20% and 50% concentration levels, and physicochemical properties were determined according to the methods of the International Honey Commission. Our objectives also included testing of the performance of electronic sensory techniques (electronic tongue (ET) and electronic nose (EN)) in the detection of adulteration, and the results are compared to the sensory profile analysis. The results provide good average recognition and prediction abilities for the classification of adulterated and authentic honeys (>90% for ET and higher than >80 for EN). Misclassifications were found only in the case of honey with 10% added sugar syrup. The methods were also able to reveal adulteration of independently predicted samples.
