Abstract. The feasibility of using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics to determine the ß-carotene and lutein contents in green tea was investigated in this study. The relationship between pigment contents and spectral responses was explored by partial least squares (PLS), least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM) methods. Next, 30 and 29 effective wavenumbers (EWs) for ß-carotene and lutein, respectively, were selected according to the weighted regression coefficients of the PLS regression models, and simplified determinant models were built on the extracted EWs. The ELM models based on the EWs obtained the best results, with correlation coefficients of calibration (rc) and prediction (rp), and residual prediction deviation (RPD) of 0.977, 0.946, and 2.84, respectively, for ß-carotene and 0.975, 0.937, and 2.88, respectively, for lutein. The overall results indicate that FT-IR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics could be a rapid and accurate alternative method for determining carotenoid pigments in green tea. Keywords: ß-carotene, Chemometrics, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Green tea, Lutein.

Triglycerides deposited on cotton fabric in the form of artificial body soil (ABS) were quantified with the use of ATR/FT-IR spectroscopy after ABS had been transferred onto the ATR crystal under pressure. This approach improved the signal-to-background ratio by avoiding interference from cellulose absorption, and improved precision as contact of the cloth sample with the ATR crystal was not necessary. ABS concentrations comparable to natural body soil levels were determined. This procedure was shown to be useful for following the depletion of “surface” ABS after different washing procedures.

Abstract Background: Practical improvements are needed to allow measurement of glucose concentrations by Fourier- transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. We developed a new method that allows determination of the glucose concentration in dried sera. Methods: We studied 32 serum samples after fourfold dilution and desiccation before FT-IR analyses on a spectrometer operated at a resolution of 2.0 cm−1. We integrated all spectral windows at the surface of the spectrum in the C—O region. For comparison, glucose was measured in the sera by a glucose oxidase method. Results: One peak within the spectrum was most specific for glucose (997–1062 cm−1). Its surface integration showed a strong relationship with reference data (r = 0.998; P <0.001). FT-IR analyses of five glucose solutions were performed to determine its specific absorption at the same peak. In this way, glucose concentrations in serum spectra could be measured. For the first time while using FT-IR spectroscopy, no manipulation of spectra nor use of internal standard was necessary to obtain results in high accordance with glucose concentration measured by a conventional (glucose-oxidase) method (Sy|x = 0.25 mmol/L; r = 0.998). Conclusions: FT-IR spectroscopy appears to be an easy and accurate method to determine glucose concentration and could be widely used to simultaneously identify and quantify several metabolites in biological fluids or tissues.
