Abstract Background Product quality and production efficiency of Atlantic salmon are, to a large extent, influenced by the deposition and depletion of lipid reserves. Fillet lipid content is a heritable trait and is unfavourably correlated with growth, thus genetic management of fillet lipid content is needed for sustained genetic progress in these two traits. The laboratory-based reference method for recording fillet lipid content is highly accurate and precise but, at the same time, expensive, time-consuming, and destructive. Here, we test the use of rapid and cheaper vibrational spectroscopy methods, namely near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy both as individual phenotypes and phenotypic predictors of lipid content in Atlantic salmon. Results Remarkably, 827 of the 1500 individual Raman variables (i.e. Raman shifts) of the Raman spectrum were significantly heritable (heritability (h2) ranging from 0.15 to 0.65). Similarly, 407 of the 2696 NIR spectral landscape variables (i.e. wavelengths) were significantly heritable (h2 = 0.27–0.40). Both Raman and NIR spectral landscapes had significantly heritable regions, which are also informative in spectroscopic predictions of lipid content. Partial least square predicted lipid content using Raman and NIR spectra were highly concordant and highly genetically correlated with the lipid content values ($${r}_{\text{g}}$$ r g = 0.91–0.98) obtained with the reference method using Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient (CCC = 0.63–0.90), and were significantly heritable ($${h}^{2}$$ h 2 = 0.52–0.67). Conclusions Both NIR and Raman spectral landscapes show substantial additive genetic variation and are highly genetically correlated with the reference method. These findings lay down the foundation for rapid spectroscopic measurement of lipid content in salmonid breeding programmes.

Monitoring powder potency and homogeneity is important in achieving real-time release testing in a continuous tablet manufacturing operation. If quality related issues are encountered, monitoring powder potency inside a feed frame offers a last opportunity to intervene in the process before tablet compression. Feed frame monitoring methods based on near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy have been increasingly reported in recent years. New process analytical tools with the potential of being deployed alone or in combination with NIR spectroscopy for feed frame monitoring are now available commercially. The present study evaluated the potential of near infrared chemical imaging (NIR CI) for in-line monitoring of a prototype pharmaceutical composition containing ascorbic acid (AA), microcrystalline cellulose and dicalcium phosphate. NIR spectroscopy was the reference method. In-line calibration models based on partial least square regression were developed and validated with a range of AA concentrations. The ability of NIR spectroscopy and NIR CI to predict concentrations in test runs was ascertained both independently and in combination. NIR CI, with a single bandpass filter, predicted AA concentrations—present at commercially relevant concentrations—with acceptable accuracy. Comparative results showed that NIR CI has the potential for in-line monitoring of blend concentrations inside feed frames. In addition to the advantage of increased sample size, it also has the potential to detect segregation inside feed frames.

BACKGROUND: Measuring medicinal compounds to evaluate their quality and efficacy has been recognized as a useful approach in treatment. Rhubarb anthraquinones compounds (mainly including aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion) are its main effective components as purgating drug. In the current Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the total anthraquinones content is designated as its quantitative quality and control index while the content of each compound has not been specified. METHODS: On the basis of forty rhubarb samples, the correlation models between the near infrared spectra and UPLC analysis data were constructed using support vector machine (SVM) and partial least square (PLS) methods according to Kennard and Stone algorithm for dividing the calibration/prediction datasets. Good models mean they have high correlation coefficients (R2) and low root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) values. RESULTS: The models constructed by SVM have much better performance than those by PLS methods. The SVM models have high R2 of 0.8951, 0.9738, 0.9849, 0.9779, 0.9411 and 0.9862 that correspond to aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol, physcion and total anthraquinones contents, respectively. The corresponding RMSEPs are 0.3592, 0.4182, 0.4508, 0.7121, 0.8365 and 1.7910, respectively. 75% of the predicted results have relative differences being lower than 10%. As for rhein and total anthraquinones, all of the predicted results have relative differences being lower than 10%. CONCLUSION: The nonlinear models constructed by SVM showed good performances with predicted values close to the experimental values. This can perform the rapid determination of the main medicinal ingredients in rhubarb medicinal materials.

The present study was designed to investigate whether near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with minimal sample processing could be a suitable technique to rapidly measure histamine levels in raw and processed tuna fish. Calibration models based on orthogonal partial least square regression (OPLSR) were built to predict histamine in the range 10–1000 mg kg−1 using the 1000–2500 nm NIR spectra of artificially-contaminated fish. The two models were then validated using a new set of naturally contaminated samples in which histamine content was determined by conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. As for calibration results, coefficient of determination (r2) > 0.98, root mean square of estimation (RMSEE) ≤ 5 mg kg−1 and root mean square of cross-validation (RMSECV) ≤ 6 mg kg−1 were achieved. Both models were optimal also in the validation stage, showing r2 values > 0.97, root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) ≤ 10 mg kg−1 and relative range error (RER) ≥ 25, with better results showed by the model for processed fish. The promising results achieved suggest NIR spectroscopy as an implemental analytical solution in fish industries and markets to effectively determine histamine amounts.

We investigated the near-infrared spectrum of piperine using quantum mechanical calculations. We evaluated two efficient approaches, DVPT2//PM6 and DVPT2//ONIOM [PM6:B3LYP/6-311++G(2df, 2pd)] that yielded a simulated spectrum with varying accuracy versus computing time factor. We performed vibrational assignments and unveiled complex nature of the near-infrared spectrum of piperine, resulting from a high level of band convolution. The most meaningful contribution to the near-infrared absorption of piperine results from binary combination bands. With the available detailed near-infrared assignment of piperine, we interpreted the properties of partial least square regression models constructed in our earlier study to describe the piperine content in black pepper samples. Two models were compared with spectral data sets obtained with a benchtop and a miniaturized spectrometer. The two spectrometers implement distinct technology which leads to a profound instrumental difference and discrepancy in the predictive performance when analyzing piperine content. We concluded that the sensitivity of the two instruments to certain types of piperine vibrations is different and that the benchtop spectrometer unveiled higher selectivity. Such difference in obtaining chemical information from a sample can be one of the reasons why the benchtop spectrometer performs better in analyzing the piperine content of black pepper. This evidenced direct correspondence between the features critical for applied near-infrared spectroscopic routine and the underlying vibrational properties of the analyzed constituent in a complex sample.

The use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers is recommended as one of several strategies to minimize contamination and spread of the COVID-19 disease. Current reports suggest that the virucidal potential of ethanol occurs at concentrations close to 70%. Traditional methods of verifying the ethanol concentration in such products invite potential errors due to the viscosity of chemical components or may be prohibitively expensive to undertake in large demand. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and chemometrics have already been used for the determination of ethanol in other matrices and present an alternative fast and reliable approach to quality control of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. In this study, a portable NIR spectrometer combined with classification chemometric tools, i.e., partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS–DA) and linear discriminant analysis with successive algorithm projection (SPA–LDA) were used to construct models to identify conforming and non-conforming commercial and laboratory synthesized hand sanitizer samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied in an exploratory data study. Three principal components accounted for 99% of data variance and demonstrate clustering of conforming and non-conforming samples. The PLS–DA and SPA–LDA classification models presented 77 and 100% of accuracy in cross/internal validation respectively and 100% of accuracy in the classification of test samples. A total of 43% commercial samples evaluated using the PLS–DA and SPA–LDA presented ethanol content non-conforming for hand sanitizer gel. These results indicate that use of NIR spectroscopy and chemometrics is a promising strategy, yielding a method that is fast, portable, and reliable for discrimination of alcohol-based hand sanitizers with respect to conforming and non-conforming ethanol concentrations.

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.

Fritillaria is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine which can be used to moisten the lungs. The objective of this study is to develop simple, accurate, and solvent-free methods to discriminate and quantify Fritillaria herbs from seven different origins. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) methods are established for the rapid discrimination of seven different Fritillaria samples and quantitative analysis of their total alkaloids. The scaling to first range method and the partial least square (PLS) method are used for the establishment of qualitative and quantitative analysis models. As a result of evaluation for the qualitative NIR model, the selectivity values between groups are always above 2, and the mistaken judgment rate of fifteen samples in prediction sets was zero. This means that the NIR model can be used to distinguish different species of Fritillaria herbs. The established quantitative NIR model can accurately predict the content of total alkaloids from Fritillaria samples.

Near infrared spectroscopy was used as an in-line control system for the measurement of polypropylene filled with different amounts of Irganox additives. For this purpose transmission probes were installed in an extruder. The probes can withstand temperatures up to 300°C and pressures up to 60 MPa. Transmission spectra of polypropylene mixed with an Irganox additive were recorded. PCA score plot was carried out revealing the influence of varying conditions for the mixing of the sample preparation. Prediction models were generated with partial least square regression which resulted in a model which estimated Irganox with a coefficient of detremination of 0.984 and a root mean square error of prediction of 0.098%. Furthermore the possibilities for controlling process conditions by measuring transmission at a specific wavelength were shown.

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.

Abstract Near-infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy was used to analyze fat, protein, and total solids in cheese without any sample treatment. A set of 92 samples of cow’s milk cheese was used for instrument calibration by principal components analysis and modified partial least-square regression. The following statistical values were obtained: standard error of calibration (SEC) = 0.388 and squared correlation coefficient (R2) = 0.99 for fat, SEC = 0.397 and R2 = 0.98 for protein, and SEC = 0.412 and R2 = 0.99 for total solids. To validate the calibration, an independent set of 25 cheese samples of the same type was used. Standard errors of validation were 0.47,0.50, and 0.61 for fat, protein, and total solids, respectively, and hf for the regression of measurements by reference methods versus measurements by NIR spectroscopy was 0.98 for the 3 components.
