Physicochemical Data

Several physicochemical properties were measured in commercial tequila brands: conductivity, density, pH, sound velocity, viscosity, and refractive index. Physicochemical data were analyzed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), cluster analysis, and the one-way analysis of variance to identify the quality and authenticity of tequila brands. According to the Principal Component Analysis, the existence of 3 main components was identified, explaining the 87.76% of the total variability of physicochemical measurements. In general, all tequila brands appeared together in the plane of the first two principal components. In the cluster analysis, four groups showing similar characteristics were identified. In particular, one of the clusters contains some tequila brands that are not identified by the Regulatory Council of Tequila and do not meet the quality requirements established in the Mexican Official Standard 006. These tequila brands are characterized by having higher conductivity and density and lower viscosity and refractive index, determined by one-way analysis of variance. Therefore, these economical measurements, PCA, and cluster analysis can be used to determinate the authenticity of a tequila brand.

Abstract Background: Cotton is a vital fiber and cash crop in Pakistan. Genetic diversity of a germplasm play an important role for cotton breeding. One hundred and two germplasm of upland cotton were investigated for genetic divergence regarding yield related attributes using principal component analysis. The research was carried out in RCB design with 2 replications. Experiment data was recorded on various qualitative and quantitative parameters and were subjected to principal components analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis.Results: PCA result showed that only four components were considered on account of their eigenvalue greater than 1 which contributed 65% to the total variability. Score plot showed that the suncrop-6, tipu-9, TJ-max, Deebal, CRIS-543, TH-20, Tahafuz-7, Eagle, BS-80, IUB-69, BH-221, NIAB-1048, and NIAB BT-2 showed the vertex of polygon and resulted as most divergent germplasm. Similarly cluster analysis also categorized the yield related traits into 5 main cluster. Cluster-1 contain 20 germplasm, cluster-II contain 16, and cluster-III, cluster-IV, and cluster-V comprise 13, 16, and 37 germplasm, respectively.Conclusion: Based on results, it was recommended that these genetically diverse germplasm might be used as parents that could be utilized in upcoming breeding programs.

In order to identify the authentic Pingli Gynostemma, a geographical indication products, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of Gynostemma came from eight different origins were collected by the Fourier near-infrared spectrometer. The spectroscopy was analyzed with Chemometrics method, and the spectroscopy was pretreated by the vector normalization condition. The range of spectra was 4800-10096 cm-1. The Calibration models of Gynostemma were established by the principal component analysis, qualification testing and cluster analysis, respectively, and each model was verified. The results show that the optimal model established by the principal component analysis, qualification testing and cluster analysis can effectively identify authentic Pingli Gynostemma, and accuracy rate was 100%. In conclusion, Pingli Gynostemma can be identified accurately and quickly by the near-infrared spectroscopy technique.

In order to identify the Zherong Radix Pseudostellariae, a geographical indication products, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of came from ten different origins were collected by the Fourier near-infrared spectrometer. The spectroscopy was analyzed with Chemometrics method,and the spectroscopy was pretreated by the second derivative, first derivation and minus a straight line condition. The range of spectra was 3996.1-7282.5 cm-1. The Calibration models of Radix Pseudostellariae were established by the qualification testing, principal component analysis, and cluster analysis respectively, and each model was verified. The results show that the optimal model established by the qualification testing, principal component analysis and cluster analysis can effectively identify authentic Zherong Radix Pseudostellariae , and accuracy rate was more than 97.5%. In conclusion, Zherong Radix Pseudostellariae can be identified accurately and quickly by the near-infrared spectroscopy technique.
