Abstract Fish fraud is a problematic issue for the industry that to be properly addressed requires the use of accurate, rapid and cost-effective tools. In this work, near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to predict nutritional values (protein, lipids and moisture) as well as to discriminate between source (farmed vs. wild fish) and condition (fresh, defrosted or frozen fish). Five whitefish species consisting of Alaskan pollock (Gadus chalcogrammu), Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), Common sole (Solea solea) and Turbot (Psetta maxima), including farmed, wild, fresh and frozen ones, were scanned by a low-cost handheld near infrared reflectance spectrometer with a spectral range between 900 nm and 1700 nm. Several machine learning algorithms were explored for both regression and classification tasks, achieving precisions and coefficient of determination higher than 88% and 0.78, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to cluster samples according to classes where good linear discriminations were denoted. Loadings from PCA reveal bands at 1150, 1200 and 1400 nm as the most discriminative spectral regions regarding classification of both source and condition, suggesting the absorbance of OH, CH, CH2 and CH3 groups as the most important ones. This study shows the use of NIRS and both linear and non-linear learners as a suitable strategy to address the fish fraud problematic and fish quality control.

This study aims to investigate alternative near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) strategies for predicting beef polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) composition, which have a great nutritional interest, and are actually poorly predicted by NIRS. We compared the results of NIRS models for predicting fatty acids (FA) of beef meat by using two databases: a beef database including 143 beef samples, and a ruminant database including 76 lamb and 143 beef samples. For all the FA, particularly for PUFA, the coefficient of determination of cross-validation (R2CV) and the residual predictive deviation (RPD) of models increased when the ruminant muscle samples database was used instead of the beef muscle database. The R2CV values for the linoleic acid, total conjugated linoleic acid and total PUFA increased from 0.44, 0.79 and 0.59 to 0.68, 0.9, 0.8, respectively, and RPD values for these FA increased from 1.33, 2.14, 1.54 to 1.76, 3.11 and 2.24, respectively. RPD above 2.5 indicates calibration model is considered as acceptable for analytical purposes. The use of a universal equation for ruminant meats to predict FA composition seems to be an encouraging strategy.

Abstract Information on dairy fibre feed digestibility is important in ration formulation to better predict dairy cattle performance. However, its measurement takes time. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, precise, and cost-effective method to predict nutrient value, such as chemical content and digestibility of feedstuffs. This study aims to develop a database for an in vitro digestibility prediction model using NIRS, including dry matter digestibility (DMD), neutral and acid detergent fibre digestibility (NDFD and ADFD), and hemicellulose digestibility (HSD). Eighty dietary fibre feeds consisting of Napier grass, natural grass, rice straw, corn stover, and corn-husk were collected from four dairy farming areas in West Java (Cibungbulang District of Bogor Regency, Parung Kuda District of Sukabumi Regency, Pangalengan District of Bandung Regency, and Lembang District of West Bandung Regency). The spectrum for each sample was collected thrice using NIRSflex 500, which was automatically separated by 2/3 for calibration and 1/3 for validation. External validation was conducted by measuring 20 independent samples. Calibration and validation models were carried out by NIRCal V5.6 using the partial least squares (PLS) regression. The results showed that all parameters produce r2 > 0.5 except for ADFD. Relative prediction deviation (RPD) > 1.5 was only found in hemicellulose digestibility prediction. RPL (SEP/SEL) <1.0 were found in DMD and hemicellulose digestibility. It is concluded that hemicellulose digestibility can be predicted using NIRS accurately while other parameters need improvement.

Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was used for the analysis of soil samples for silt, sand, clay, calcium (Ca), potassium (K), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu) and iron (Fe). A total of 332 samples of different soils from Uruguay (South America) were used. The samples were scanned in a NIRS 6500 (NIRSystems, Silver Spring, MD, USA) in reflectance. Cross validation was applied to avoid overfitting of the models. The coefficient of determination in calibration (R^2_{\rm cal}) and the standard errors in cross validation (SECV) were 0·80 (SECV: 6·8), 0·84 (SECV: 6·0), 0·90 (SECV: 3·6) in per cent for sand, silt and clay respectively. For both macro and microelements the R^2_{\rm cal} and SECV were 0·80 (SECV: 0·1), 0·95 (SECV: 2·9), 0·90 (SECV 0·8), for K, Ca, Mg in g/kg respectively, and 0·86 (SECV: 0·82) and 0·92 (SECV: 25·5) for Cu and Fe in mg/kg. It was concluded that NIRS has a great potential as an analytical method for soil routine analysis due to the speed and low cost of analysis.

Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique of soil analysis that is particularly advantageous in intensive soil sampling and soil nutrient management as well. This study evaluated the potential of NIRS for predicting P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, and Al extracted by Mehlich 3. We used 150 air-dried samples collected from a 15-ha site dominated by Orthic Humic Gleysol and Gleyed Dystric Brunisol soils. Calibration equations were developed using modified partial least squares regression. The accuracy of NIRS prediction was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R2), the ratio of performance deviation (RPD), and the ratio of error range (RER). Reliable calibrations were found for Ca, Cu, and Mg (R2 ≥ 0.7, RPD ≥ 1.75, and RER ≥ 8). Less-reliable calibrations were found for Al, Fe, K, Mn, P, and Zn (R2 < 0.7, RPD < 1.75, and RER < 8). In the validation with independent samples, acceptable regression coefficients (i.e., 0.8 ≤ slope ≤ 1.2) were only found for Ca, Mg, and Mn. We presumed that the pH of the Mehlich 3 extractant (2.5 ± 0.1) may affect the solubility of most of these nutrients, regardless the soil texture and, consequently, the potential of NIRS to predict them. The more a nutrient was correlated to clay content, the more it was likely predictable by NIRS. The prediction models obtained for Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, and Mn could still be used for screening purposes in cases where high accuracy is not required. These NIRS prediction models should be validated across larger geographic areas of geological homogeneity. Key words: Soil analysis, Mehlich 3, near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy, calibration

Texture Attributes

Despite the importance of yam ( Dioscorea spp.) tuber quality traits, and more precisely texture attributes, high-throughput screening methods for varietal selection are still lacking. This study sets out to define the profile of good quality pounded yam and provide screening tools based on predictive models using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Seventy-four out of 216 studied samples proved to be moldable, i.e. suitable for pounded yam. While samples with low dry matter (<25%), high sugar (>4%) and high protein (>6%) contents, low hardness (<5 N), high springiness (>0.5) and high cohesiveness (>0.5) grouped mostly non-moldable genotypes, the opposite was not true. This outline definition of a desirable chemotype may allow breeders to choose screening thresholds to support their choice. Moreover, traditional near infrared reflectance spectroscopy quantitative prediction models provided good prediction for chemical aspects (R2 > 0.85 for dry matter, starch, protein and sugar content), but not for texture attributes (R2 < 0.58). Conversely, convolutional neural network classification models enabled good qualitative prediction for all texture parameters but hardness (i.e. an accuracy of 80, 95, 100 and 55%, respectively, for moldability, cohesiveness, springiness and hardness). This study demonstrated the usefulness of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy as a high-throughput way of phenotyping pounded yam quality. Altogether, these results allow for an efficient screening toolbox for quality traits in yams.
