Fresh products, such as cloudy apple juice, could be preserved from early spoilage through the application of non-thermal processes such as sonication. However, shelf-life analyses based on microbiological and sensory evaluations are expensive and time consuming. Few studies have applied near infrared spectroscopy to evaluate the quality and decay of apple juices. Here, a feasibility trial was conducted to study the spectral behaviour at 1300–2500 nm combined with chemometric approaches. The shelf-life was monitored during two experiments, a challenge test with juices inoculated with spoilage yeasts (inoculated non-sonicated (INS)) and then submitted to sonication treatments (inoculated sonicated (IS)), and a storage test to evaluate the spoilage on non-inoculated juices (non-inoculated non-sonicated (NINS)) and sonicated non-inoculated juices (non-inoculated sonicated (NIS)). These experiments were investigated at six different refrigeration times 7, 14, 21, 28 and 60 days. Two functions were modelled to describe the behaviours of the first principal component according to the storage time. In agreement with a previous chemical and sensory evaluation, this approach allowed us to highlight shelf-life end points of 7 and 14 days for non-sonicated and sonicated samples, respectively. Three different models were evaluated for classification purposes: (1) sonicated versus non-treated samples, (2) end-point shelf-life evaluation at seven days for the NINS and INS juices and (3) end-point shelf-life discrimination at 14 days for IS and NIS samples. A partial least square-discriminant analysis enabled a group classification with accuracy values ranging from 0.63 to 1.00. The application of a variable importance in projection index to interpret the wavelengths of the spectral features suggests a contribution of organic acids and lipids to the prediction of decay. A canonical discriminant analysis provided a clearer separation of samples according to the storage time, especially in relation to the two time thresholds of 7 and 14 days.

Abstract The illegal charcoal trade is an internationally well-known forest crime. In Brazil, government agents try to control it using the document of forest origin (DOF). To confirm a load’s legality, the agents must compare it with the declared content of the DOF. However, to identify charcoal is difficult even for specialists in wood anatomy. Hence, new technologies would facilitate the agents’ work. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) provides a rapid and precise response to differentiate carbonized species. Considering the rich Brazilian flora, NIR studies are still underdeveloped. Our work aimed to differentiate charcoals of seven eucalypts and 10 Cerrado species based on NIR analysis and to add information to a charcoal database. Data were collected with a spectrophotometer in reflectance mode. Partial least square regression with discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was applied to confirm the performance and potential of NIR spectra to distinguish native Cerrado species from eucalyptus species. Wavenumbers from 4,000 to 6,000 cm−1 and transversal surface presented the best results. NIR had the potential to distinguish eucalypt charcoals from Cerrado species and in comparison to reference samples. NIR is a potential tool for forestry supervision to guarantee the sustainability of the charcoal supply in Brazil and countries with similar conditions. Study Implications It is a challenge to protect the Cerrado biome against deforestation for charcoal production. The application of new technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) for charcoal identification might improve the work of government agents. In this article, we studied the spectra of Cerrado and eucalypt species. Our results present good separation between the analyzed groups. The main goal is to develop a reliable NIR database that would be useful in the practical work of agents. The database will be available for all control agencies, and future training will be done for a rapid initial evaluation in the field.

Online near infrared reflectance spectroscopy combined with characteristic wavelength variables was used to establish a fast and nondestructive analytical method for the classification of fish meal produced in China and Peru. In this study, 117 fish meal samples (47 from China and 70 from Peru) were scanned in the spectral range of 1000–2500 nm by the online near infrared spectroscopy instrument applied on the conveyor belt. The K–S (Kennard–Stone) method was used for the division of samples into calibration and validation sets. Principal component analysis and partial least square discriminant analysis were applied to classify fish meal samples. The results showed that the discrimination accuracies with calibration and validation set samples were 100% and 89.74%, respectively, for the partial least square discriminant analysis model using the full spectrum after the optimimal spectral pre-treatment. Then competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) was used to select the characteristic wavelength variables for partial least square discriminant analysis model analysis, and the discrimination accuracy for the validation set increased to 94.87%. All the results indicated that online near infrared spectroscopy combined with characteristic wavelength variables could be used for discriminating fish meal samples produced in different places, which offers feed purchasers an effective, reliable, and real-time analysis method for the identification and authentication of the commercial fish meal product.

We used the discriminant analysis of curd cheese during storage by Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy method (FT-NIRs). Olomouc curd cheese samples were stored at 5 and at 20&deg;C during seven weeks. The spectra of samples were measured at the integration sphere in reflectance mode with the use of a compressive cell in the spectral range of 10&nbsp;000&ndash;4000 cm<sup>&ndash;1</sup> with 100 scans. Ten principal components were used for all the calibration models. Great similarity between the samples stored at 5 and 20&deg;C was found. Twelve samples stored at 20&deg;C for 1 week and 2 samples stored at 20&deg;C for 2 weeks were classified as samples stored at 5&deg;C. Different results were found out by comparing the storage time. 100% variability was described between the spectra scanned in different weeks of storage at 5&deg;C and 99.9% variability was obtained for the samples stored at 20&deg;C. Thus, the discriminant analysis of Olomouc curd cheese by FT-NIRs is a suitable method for the determination of ripening time. &nbsp;

The ability of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to classify pre-sliced Iberian chorizo modified atmosphere packaged (MAP) according to the animal material used in their production (Black, Red, White) in their production in accordance with the official trade categories (which includes the handling system and the different inter-racial crossbreeds) without opening the package was assayed. Furthermore, various spectra pre-treatments and supervised classification chemometric tools; Partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), soft independent modelling of class analogies (SIMCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), were assessed. The highest sensitivity values in both calibration and external validation were achieved with SIMCA followed by PLS-DA approaches, while LDA had more provided values among sensitivity and specificity and between the different commercial categories in both sample sets, thus yielding the highest discriminant ability. These results could be a resource to support the traceability and authentication control of individual pre-sliced MAP Iberian chorizo according to the commercial category of the raw material in a non-destructive way.

AbstractNeutral detergent fiber (NDF) content was the critical indicator of fiber in corn stover. This study aimed to develop a prediction model to precisely measure NDF content in corn stover using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique. Here, spectral data ranging from 400 to 2500 nm were obtained by scanning 530 samples, and Monte Carlo Cross Validation and the pretreatment were used to preprocess the original spectra. Moreover, the interval partial least square (iPLS) was employed to extract feature wavebands to reduce data computation. The PLSR model was built using two spectral regions, and it was evaluated with the coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) obtaining 0.97 and 0.65%, respectively. The overall results proved that the developed prediction model coupled with spectral data analysis provides a set of theoretical foundations for NIRS techniques application on measuring fiber content in corn stover.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an emerging rapid and non-destructive technology that has promising application within feed mills and processing plants in poultry and other intensive animal industries. HSI may be advantageous over near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as it scans entire samples, which enables compositional gradients and sample heterogenicity to be visualised and analysed. This study was a preliminary investigation to compare the performance of HSI with that of NIRS for quality measurements of ground samples of Australian wheat and to identify the most important spectral regions for predicting carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) concentrations. In total, 69 samples were scanned using an NIRS (400–2500 nm), and two HSI cameras operated in 400–1000 nm (VNIR) and 1000–2500 nm (SWIR) spectral regions. Partial least square regression (PLSR) models were used to correlate C and N concentrations of 63 calibration samples with their spectral reflectance, with 6 additional samples used for testing the models. The accuracy of the HSI predictions (full spectra) were similar or slightly higher than those of NIRS (NIRS Rc2 for C = 0.90 and N = 0.96 vs. HSI Rc2 for C (VNIR) = 0.97 and N (SWIR) = 0.97). The most important spectral region for C prediction identified using HSI reflectance was 400–550 nm with R2 of 0.93 and RMSE of 0.17% in the calibration set and R2 of 0.86, RMSE of 0.21% and ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) of 2.03 in the test set. The most important spectral regions for predicting N concentrations in the feed samples included 1451–1600 nm, 1901–2050 nm and 2051–2200 nm, providing prediction with R2 ranging from 0.91 to 0.93, RMSE ranging from 0.06% to 0.07% in the calibration sets, R2 from 0.96 to 0.99, RMSE of 0.06% and RPD from 3.47 to 3.92 in the test sets. The prediction accuracy of HSI and NIRS were comparable possibly due to the larger statistical population (larger number of pixels) that HSI provided, despite the fact that HSI had smaller spectral range compared with that of NIRS. In addition, HSI enabled visualising the variability of C and N in the samples. Therefore, HSI is advantageous compared to NIRS as it is a multifunctional tool that poses many potential applications in data collection and quality assurance within feed mills and poultry processing plants. The ability to more accurately measure and visualise the properties of feed ingredients has potential economic benefits and therefore additional investigation and development of HSI in this application is warranted.
