Identification of Stingless Bee Honey Adulteration Using Visible-Near Infrared Spectroscopy Combined with Aquaphotomics

Honey is a natural product that is considered globally one of the most widely important foods. Various studies on authenticity detection of honey have been fulfilled using visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy techniques. However, there are limited studies on stingless bee honey (SBH) despite the increase of market demand for this food product. The objective of this work was to present the potential of Vis-NIR absorbance spectroscopy for profiling, classifying, and quantifying the adulterated SBH. The SBH sample was mixed with various percentages (10–90%) of adulterants, including distilled water, apple cider vinegar, and high fructose syrup. The results showed that the region at 400–1100 nm that is related to the color and water properties of the samples was effective to discriminate and quantify the adulterated SBH. By applying the principal component analysis (PCA) on adulterants and honey samples, the PCA score plot revealed the classification of the adulterants and adulterated SBHs. A partial least squares regression (PLSR) model was developed to quantify the contamination level in the SBH samples. The general PLSR model with the highest coefficient of determination and lowest root means square error of cross-validation (RCV2=0.96 and RMSECV=5.88 %) was acquired. The aquaphotomics analysis of adulteration in SBH with the three adulterants utilizing the short-wavelength NIR region (800–1100 nm) was presented. The structural changes of SBH due to adulteration were described in terms of the changes in the water molecular matrix, and the aquagrams were used to visualize the results. It was revealed that the integration of NIR spectroscopy with aquaphotomics could be used to detect the water molecular structures in the adulterated SBH.

可见光-近红外、中红外光谱的土壤有机质组分反演

土壤有机质是土壤肥力的物质基础,其含量的高低是评价土壤肥力的重要标志。土壤有机质组分根据其溶解性可分为胡敏素(HM)、胡敏酸(HA)、富里酸(FA),不同组分的肥力特性差异显著,因此,土壤有机质组分数据可更加全面、客观的反映土壤肥力状况。传统土壤土壤有机质及组分的测定工序繁杂,效率低下且时效性差,大量研究表明高光谱技术能有效提高土壤属性的检测效率并降低测试成本,但关于可见光-近红外、中红外光谱检测土壤有机质组分的报道鲜见。为了探索中红外光谱及可见光-近红外-中红外组合光谱对土壤有机质组分检测的可行性,并对比有机质单一光谱模型与有机质不同组分的组合光谱模型的预测精度,以南疆地区农田土壤为例,在阿克苏及和田地区共采集93个土样,进行有机质、胡敏素、胡敏酸、富里酸含量及光谱数据的测定。其次,利用可见-近红外(VNIR)、中红外(MIR)及其组合光谱(VNIR-MIR)三种光谱数据集,采用偏最小二乘(PLSR)、支持向量机(SVM)、随机森林(RF)三种建模方式对土壤有机质、胡敏素、胡敏酸、富里酸含量进行组合模型分析预测。结果表明：(1)土壤有机质及各组分均与光谱反射率有较好的相关性,土壤有机质及组分在MIR谱段的特征波段数量明显多于VNIR谱段。(2)有机质最优预测模型的模式为VNIR-MIR-RF,该模型的决定系数R2为0.90;胡敏素与胡敏酸最优预测模型的模式均为VNIR-RF模型,R2均为0.92;富里酸最优预测模型的模式为MIR-RF模型,R2为0.94。(3) 基于胡敏素、胡敏酸和富里酸的有机质组合光谱模型的预测精度明显高于有机质单一光谱模型,两种模型的R2分别为0.93和0.90。实现了土壤有机质组分的高效快速反演,且基于有机质组分的组合模型提高了土壤有机质预测精度,为南疆地区大尺度土壤肥力的鉴定与精准施肥提供重要的参考价值。     

Rapid Simultaneous Determination of Andrographolides in Andrographis paniculata by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

The potential of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine has been evaluated. Seven quantitative parameters, andrographolide, deoxyandrographolide, dehydroandrographolide, neoandrographolide, moisture, ash content, and alcohol-soluble extract of Andrographis paniculata, were evaluated by NIRS. The reference values of andrographolides were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the others were obtained using the standard methods of the 2015 Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The predicted values were determined by a quantitative model using NIRS based on partial least square regression. Different spectral preprocessing methods, spectral ranges, and optimum number of factors were selected to optimize the models. All models were estimated by the combination of various parameters, including the correlation coefficient of calibration for andrographolide, deoxyandrographolide, dehydroandrographolide, neoandrographolide, moisture, ash content, alcohol-soluble extract (values of 0.980, 0.984, 0.989, 0.983, 0.987, 0.988, 0.979, respectively), root mean square error of calibration (values of 0.156, 0.038, 0.050, 0.029, 0.604, 0.431, 0.135, respectively), root mean square error of prediction (values of 0.169, 0.041, 0.050, 0.033, 0.280, 0.493, 0.140, respectively), root mean square error of cross-validation (values of 0.626, 0.114, 0.158, 0.046, 1.145, 0.774, 0.508, respectively), and ratio of standard deviation to standard error of prediction (values of 4.583, 4.690, 4.796, 4.899, 4.899, 4.690, 5.099, respectively). The results show that the calibration models by NIRS are reliable and can be applied for the quantification for seven parameters from A. paniculata for quality control in traditional Chinese medicine production and processing.     

Multivariate image analysis of a set of FTIR microspectroscopy images of aged bovine muscle tissue combining image and design information

In this paper we present an algorithm for analysing sets of FTIR microscopic images of tissue sections. The proposed approach allows one to investigate sets of many FTIR tissue images both with respect to sample information (variation from image to image) and spatial variations of tissues (variation within the image). The algorithm is applied to FTIR microscopy images of beef loin muscles containing myofibre and connective tissue regions. The FTIR microscopy images are taken of sub-samples from five different beef loin muscles that were aged for four different lengths of time. The images were investigated regarding variation due to the ageing length and due to the homogeneity of the connective tissue regions. The presented algorithm consists of the following main elements: (1) pre-processing of the spectra to overcome large quality differences in FTIR spectra and differences due to scatter effects, (2) identification of connective tissue regions in every image, (3) labelling of every connective tissue spectrum with respect to its location in the connective tissue region, and (4) analysis of variations in the FTIR microscopic images in regard to ageing time and pixel position of the spectra in the connective tissue region. Important spectral parameters characterising collagen and proteoglycan structure were determined. Figure Effective optical path length estimated by EMSC

Non-destructive analysis of chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM), pharmaceutical tablets, and granules was conducted by chemometrics-assisted attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR). For tablets, an optimum PLSR model with eight latent factors was obtained from area-normalized and standard normal variate (SNV) pretreated ATR-IR spectral data with correlation coefficients (R²) of calibration and cross-validation of 0.9716 and 0.9602, respectively. The model capability for the 42 test set samples was proven with R² between the reference and model prediction values of 0.9632, and a root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 1.7786. The successive PLSR model for granules was constructed from SNV and first derivative pretreated ATR-IR spectral data with two latent factors and correlation coefficients (R²) of calibration and cross-validation of 0.9577 and 0.9450, respectively.
