Fast quantitative detection of sesame oil adulteration by near-infrared spectroscopy and chemometric models

Adulteration of foods has been known to exist for a long time and various analytical tests have been reported to address this problem. Among them, authenticity of sesame oil has attracted much attention. Near-infrared (NIR) spectral quantitative detection models of sesame oil adulterated with other oils are constructed by chemometric methods, i.e., competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), elastic component regression (ECR) and partial least squares (PLS). Sixty samples adulterated with different proportions of five kinds of other oils of lower price were scanned by a Fourier-transform-NIR spectrometer and the NIR spectra were collected in 4500–10000 cm⁻¹ region by transmission mode. All samples were divided into the training set and an independent test set. Model population analysis has also been carried out and confirms the importance of selecting representative samples. The experimental results indicate that the PLS model using only 10 variables from CARS and the ECR model show similar performance and both are superior to the full-spectrum PLS model. CARS focuses on selecting variables and ECR focuses on optimizing the parameters, implying that both roads lead to the same destination. It seems that NIR technique combined with CARS or ECR is feasible for rapidly detecting sesame oil adulterated with other vegetable oils.     

Application of FT-Raman Spectroscopy and Chemometric Analysis for Determination of Adulteration in Milk Powder

In this work, FT-Raman spectroscopy is explored as a rapid technique for the assessment of the milk powder quality. Based on information provided by Raman spectra of samples adulterated with starch and whey, a quantitative method is developed to identify the fraud, using Partial Least Squares regression (PLS). In regression models using PLS the results are satisfactory, and such models can be used to identify and quantify samples presenting whey and starch in milk powder at concentrations of 2.32% and 1.64% (w/w), respectively. In the whey determination, the obtained values in the PLS model of the new samples are compared with those obtained by the spectrophotometric method of acid ninhydrin. This result shows that there is no significant difference with the 95% level of confidence between the values provided by the PLS regression method and the acid ninhydrin. The present work shows Raman spectroscopy as an analytical tool which can be used in quality control of milk powder, even in fraud processes, and the calculated figures of merit such as sensitivity, accuracy, limit of detection and limit of quantification clearly demonstrate this potential use. Although the multivariate models developed are not strictly quantitative, especially for low concentrations, they can be used as screening methods for routine analysis, as showed by this work.     

Adaptive multiscale regression for reliable Raman quantitative analysis

This paper presents a novel methodology, adaptive multiscale regression (AMR), to adaptively process Raman spectra for quantitative analysis. The proposed methodology aims to construct an optimal calibration model for a Raman spectrum at hand, regardless of its structural characteristics, thus facilitating the application of Raman spectroscopy as a general tool for analytical chemistry. AMR firstly splits the spectra in a calibration set into frequency components at different scales using adaptive wavelet transform (AWT). Parallel member models constructed at different scales are then fused into a final prediction. The contributions of member models to a fusion model are straightforwardly estimated by a partial least square (PLS) model that emerges from a cross-validation results matrix (X) and reference values (Y). This procedure avoids information leakage by fully utilizing the multiscale nature of the input Raman spectra instead of arbitrarily removing some part of the spectral information by calibrating to selected features. Theoretically, we establish that AMR represents an automatic data-driven strategy that captures the Raman spectral structures adaptively and accurately. Our work tests and refines the AMR method by drawing upon the systematic analysis of spectra formulated to yield challenges representative of those encountered in common Raman analyses. AMR compares favorably with other popular preprocessing methods. Satisfactory calibration results suggest that AMR has the capacity to improve robustness and reliability of Raman spectral analysis, and may well extend to other spectroscopic techniques.     

Joint analyses by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman spectroscopy at stand-off distances

Raman spectroscopy and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) of solid samples have both been shown to be feasible with sample-to-instrument distances of many meters. The two techniques are very useful together, as the combination of elemental compositions from LIBS and molecular vibrational information from Raman spectroscopy strongly complement each other. Remote LIBS and Raman spectroscopy spectra were taken together on a number of mineral samples including sulfates, carbonates and silicates at a distance of 8.3 m. The complementary nature of these spectra is highlighted and discussed. A factor of approximately 20 difference in intensity was observed between the brightest Raman line of calcite, at optimal laser power, and the brighter Ca I LIBS emission line measured with 55 mJ/pulse laser power. LIBS and Raman spectroscopy have several obstacles to devising a single instrument capable of both techniques. These include the differing spectral ranges and required detection sensitivity. The current state of technology in these areas is discussed.     

Adaptive wavelet transform suppresses background and noise for quantitative analysis by Raman spectrometry

Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) provides a well-established means for spectral denoising and baseline elimination to enhance resolution and improve the performance of calibration and classification models. However, the limitation of a fixed filter bank can prevent the optimal application of conventional DWT for the multiresolution analysis of spectra of arbitrarily varying noise and background. This paper presents a novel methodology based on an improved, second-generation adaptive wavelet transform (AWT) algorithm. This AWT methodology uses a spectrally adapted lifting scheme to generate an infinite basis of wavelet filters from a single conventional wavelet, and then finds the optimal one. Such pretreatment combined with a multivariate calibration approach such as partial least squares can greatly enhance the utility of Raman spectroscopy for quantitative analysis. The present work demonstrates this methodology using two dispersive Raman spectral data sets, incorporating lactic acid and melamine in pure water and in milk solutions. The results indicate that AWT can separate spectral background and noise from signals of interest more efficiently than conventional DWT, thus improving the effectiveness of Raman spectroscopy for quantitative analysis and classification.     

Multivariate classification of pigments and inks using combined Raman spectroscopy and LIBS

The authenticity of objects and artifacts is often the focus of forensic analytic chemistry. In document fraud cases, the most important objective is to determine the origin of a particular ink. Here, we introduce a new approach which utilizes the combination of two analytical methods, namely Raman spectroscopy and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The methods provide complementary information on both molecular and elemental composition of samples. The potential of this hyphenation of spectroscopic methods is demonstrated for ten blue and black ink samples on white paper. LIBS and Raman spectra from different inks were fused into a single data matrix, and the number of different groups of inks was determined through multivariate analysis, i.e., principal component analysis, soft independent modelling of class analogy, partial least-squares discriminant analysis, and support vector machine. In all cases, the results obtained with the combined LIBS and Raman spectra were found to be superior to those obtained with the individual Raman or LIBS data sets.

Discrimination of biological and chemical threat simulants in residue mixtures on multiple substrates

The potential of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to discriminate biological and chemical threat simulant residues prepared on multiple substrates and in the presence of interferents has been explored. The simulant samples tested include Bacillus atrophaeus spores, Escherichia coli, MS-2 bacteriophage, α-hemolysin from Staphylococcus aureus, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, and dimethyl methylphosphonate. The residue samples were prepared on polycarbonate, stainless steel and aluminum foil substrates by Battelle Eastern Science and Technology Center. LIBS spectra were collected by Battelle on a portable LIBS instrument developed by A3 Technologies. This paper presents the chemometric analysis of the LIBS spectra using partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The performance of PLS-DA models developed based on the full LIBS spectra, and selected emission intensities and ratios have been compared. The full-spectra models generally provided better classification results based on the inclusion of substrate emission features; however, the intensity/ratio models were able to correctly identify more types of simulant residues in the presence of interferents. The fusion of the two types of PLS-DA models resulted in a significant improvement in classification performance for models built using multiple substrates. In addition to identifying the major components of residue mixtures, minor components such as growth media and solvents can be identified with an appropriately designed PLS-DA model.
