Hyaluronic acid (HA) concentration is an important parameter in fermentation process. Currently, carbazole assay is widely used for HA content determination in routine analysis. However, this method is time-consuming, environment polluting and has the risk of microbial contamination, as well as the results lag behind fermentation process. This paper attempted the feasibility to predict the concentration of HA in fermentation broth by using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in transmission mode. In this work, a total of 56 samples of fermentation broth from 7 batches were analyzed, which contained HA in the range of 2.35–9.69 g/L. Different data preprocessing methods were applied to construct calibration models. The final optimal model was obtained with first derivative using Savitzky–Golay smoothing (9 points window, second-order polynomial) and partial least squares (PLS) regression with leave-one-block-out cross validation. The correlation coefficient and Root Mean Square Error of prediction set is 0.98 and 0.43 g/L, respectively, which show the possibility of NIR as a rapid method for microanalysis and to be a promising tool for a rapid assay in HA fermentation.

Nowadays, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has experienced a rapid progress in miniaturization (instruments < 100 g are presently available), and the price for handheld systems has reached the < $500 level for high lot sizes. Thus, the stage is set for NIR spectroscopy to become the technique of choice for food and beverage testing, not only in industry but also as a consumer application. However, contrary to the (in our opinion) exaggerated claims of some direct-to-consumer companies regarding the performance of their “food scanners” with “cloud evaluation of big data”, the present publication will demonstrate realistic analytical data derived from the development of partial least squares (PLS) calibration models for six different nutritional parameters (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, sugar, and fiber) based on the NIR spectra of a broad range of different pasta/sauce blends recorded with a handheld instrument. The prediction performance of the PLS calibration models for the individual parameters was double-checked by cross-validation (CV) and test-set validation. The results obtained suggest that in the near future consumers will be able to predict the nutritional parameters of their meals by using handheld NIR spectroscopy under every-day life conditions.

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a fast and reliable technique for assessing properties of amino resins. One important property that defines the cost and performance of these resins is the solids content (SC). This work studied the prediction of SC of amino resins by combining NIR spectroscopy with partial least squares (PLS) regression. A total of 990 industrial NIR spectra of amino resins were obtained and split randomly by a ratio of 2/3 for calibration and 1/3 for validation. The best model achieved a root mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.32% (m/m) and a coefficient of determination of prediction ([Formula: see text]) of 81%. standard normal variate (SNV) was found to be the NIR pre-processing that provided the best results for model construction. Addition of water to two amino resins showed that the NIR model does not respond to the water addition, despite water making great contribution to the SC value. An inference that can be obtained from this is that the NIR model of amino resins uses NIR properties of amino resins that relate to the SC and from there predict the most probable SC, instead of looking at all the components that affect the SC of amino resins.

In situ determination of optimal harvest time of tomatoes is of value for growers to optimize fruit picking schedule. This study evaluates the feasibility of using visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy to make an intact estimation of harvest time of tomatoes. A mobile, fibre-type, AgroSpec VIS-NIR spectrophotometer (Tec5, Germany), with a spectral range of 350-2200 nm, was used for spectral acquisition of tomatoes in reflection mode. The harvest time of tomatoes was measured by the days before harvest. After dividing spectra into a calibration set (70%) and an independent prediction set (30%), spectra in the calibration set were subjected to a partial least-squares regression (PLSR) with leave-one-out cross validation to establish calibration models. Validation of calibration models on the independent prediction set indicates that the best model can produce excellent prediction accuracy with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.90, root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 2.5 days and residual prediction deviation (RPD) of 3.01. It is concluded that VIS-NIR spectroscopy coupled with PLSR models can be adopted successfully for in situ determination of optimal harvest time of tomatoes, which allows for automatic fruit harvest by a horticultural robot.

Teicoplanin (TCP) is an important lipoglycopeptide antibiotic produced by fermenting Actinoplanes teichomyceticus. The change in TCP concentration is important to measure in the fermentation process. In this study, a reagent-free and rapid quantification method for TCP in the TCP–Tris–HCl mixture samples was developed using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy by focusing our attention on the fermentation process for TCP. The absorbance optimization (AO) partial least squares (PLS) was proposed and integrated with the moving window (MW) PLS, which is called AO–MW–PLS method, to select appropriate wavebands. A model set that includes various wavebands that were equivalent to the optimal AO–MW–PLS waveband was proposed based on statistical considerations. The public region of all equivalent wavebands was just one of the equivalent wavebands. The obtained public regions were 1540–1868[Formula: see text]nm for TCP and 1114–1310[Formula: see text]nm for Tris. The root-mean-square error and correlation coefficient for leave-one-out cross validation were 0.046[Formula: see text]mg mL[Formula: see text] and 0.9998[Formula: see text]mg mL[Formula: see text] for TCP, and 0.235[Formula: see text]mg mL[Formula: see text] and 0.9986[Formula: see text]mg mL[Formula: see text] for Tris, respectively. All the models achieved highly accurate prediction effects, and the selected wavebands provided valuable references for designing specialized spectrometers. This study provided a valuable reference for further application of the proposed methods to TCP fermentation broth and to other spectroscopic analysis fields.

This work shows an alternative methodology based on a portable near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled to independent components analysis (ICA) in a pseudo-univariate calibration way to determine total anthocyanins (TA) concentration and antioxidant activity (AA) in whole grape juice. To this, the scores proportions more related to TA and AA were plotted against TA and AA obtained by its respective references methodology to build pseudo-univariate calibration models with correlation coefficients of 0.9699 and 0.9814, respectively. From the results, it is possible the suggestion that NIR spectra coupled to ICA enable to overcome interferences using first-order data and work properly when there is enough selectivity for the analyte profile in the sample data.

Non-invasive determination of deoxynivalenol (DON) still presents a challenging problem. Therefore, the present study was aimed at a rapid determination of DON in whole wheat grain by means of FT-NIR spectroscopy, with a wide range of concentrations for potential applications in breeding programs and common systems of quality management using partial least square calibration (PLS) and discriminant analysis technique (DA). Using a set of artificially infected wheat samples with a known content of DON, four PLS models with different concentration range were created. The broadest model predicting DON in the concentration range of 0&ndash;90 mg/kg possessed the highest correlation coefficients of calibration and cross validation (0.94 and 0.88); but also possessed the highest prediction errors (SEP = 6.23 mg/kg). Thus the subsequent combination of DA as the wide range predictive model and the low-range PLS model was used. This technique gave more precise results in the samples with lower DON concentrations &ndash; below 30 mg/kg (SEP = 2.35 mg/kg), when compared to the most wide-range PLS model (SEP = 5.95 mg/kg).<br />Such technique enables to estimate DON content in collections of artificially infected wheat plants in Fusarium resistance breeding experiments. &nbsp;

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was successfully applied to chemical free and rapid determination of the organic matter in soil, and moving window partial least square (MWPLS) combining with Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing was used to the selection of NIR waveband. Thirty-five samples were randomly selected from all 97 collected soil samples as the validation set. The remaining 62 samples were divided into similar modeling calibration set (37 samples) and modeling prediction set (25 samples) based on partial least square cross-validation predictive bias (PLSPB). The selected waveband was 1896 nm to 2138 nm; the SG smoothing parameters and PLS factor OD, DP, NSP and F were 2, 6, 71 and 15, respectively; the modeling effect M-SEP and M-RPwere 0.219% and 0.944, respectively; the validating effect V-SEP and V-RPwere 0.243% and 0.878, respectively. The result provided a reliable NIR model and valuable references for designing specialized NIR instruments.
