This study performed non-destructive measurements of phenolic compounds in moringa powder using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy within a spectral range of 3500–700 cm−1. Three major phenolic compounds, namely, kaempferol, benzoic acid, and rutin, were measured in five different varieties of moringa powder, which was approved with respect to the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The prediction performance of three different regression methods, i.e., partial least squares regression (PLSR), principal component regression (PCR), and net analyte signal (NAS)-based methodology, called hybrid linear analysis (HLA/GO), were compared to achieve the best prediction model. The obtained results for the PLS regression method resulted in better performance for the prediction analysis of phenolic compounds in moringa powder. The PLSR model attained a correlation coefficient () value of 0.997 and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.035 mg/g, respectively, which is comparatively higher than the other two regression models. Based on the results, it can be concluded that FT-IR spectroscopy in conjugation with a suitable regression analysis method could be an effective analytical tool for the non-destructive prediction of phenolic compounds in moringa powder.

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a physicochemical technique based on the vibrations of a molecule energized by infrared radiation at a specific wavelength range. Abiotic stresses can induce the production of secondary metabolites, increasing bioactivity. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the impact of heat treatments on the bioactivity of pineapple by-products, and whether FT-IR analysis allows understanding of the changes imparted by abiotic stress. The by-products were treated at 30, 40, and 50 °C for 15 min, followed by storage at 5 ± 1 °C for 8 and 24 h. Lyophilized samples were characterized for total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity and analyzed by FT-IR. Thermal treatments at 50 °C reduced the content of phenolic compounds (21–24%) and antioxidant capacity (20–55%). Longer storage time (24 h) was advantageous for the shell samples, although this effect was not demonstrated for the core samples. The principal components analysis (PCA) model developed with the spectra of the pineapple shell samples showed that the samples were grouped according to their total phenolic compounds content. These results allow the conclusion to be drawn that FT-IR spectroscopy is a promising alternative to the conventional chemical analytical methodologies for phenolic and antioxidant contents if there are significant differences among samples.

ABSTRACT Silage quality is typically assessed by the measurement of several individual parameters, including pH, lactic acid, acetic acid, bacterial numbers, and protein content. The objective of this study was to use a holistic metabolic fingerprinting approach, combining a high-throughput microtiter plate-based fermentation system with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, to obtain a snapshot of the sample metabolome (typically low-molecular-weight compounds) at a given time. The aim was to study the dynamics of red clover or grass silage fermentations in response to various inoculants incorporating lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The hyperspectral multivariate datasets generated by FT-IR spectroscopy are difficult to interpret visually, so chemometrics methods were used to deconvolute the data. Two-phase principal component-discriminant function analysis allowed discrimination between herbage types and different LAB inoculants and modeling of fermentation dynamics over time. Further analysis of FT-IR spectra by the use of genetic algorithms to identify the underlying biochemical differences between treatments revealed that the amide I and amide II regions (wavenumbers of 1,550 to 1,750 cm−1) of the spectra were most frequently selected (reflecting changes in proteins and free amino acids) in comparisons between control and inoculant-treated fermentations. This corresponds to the known importance of rapid fermentation for the efficient conservation of forage proteins.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to use Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectroscopy with chemometrics to develop partial least squares (PLS) models to predict the concentrations of various anthocyanins during red wine fermentation.Methods and results: Must and wine samples were collected during fermentation. To maximize diversity, 12 different fermentations, of two different vintages and two different varieties, were followed. The anthocyanin composition of the samples was characterized by using different methods described in the literature: the concentration of free anthocyanins was determined by bisulphite bleaching, the concentration of molecular anthocyanins was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet–visible detection, and the ratio of monomeric anthocyanins to polymeric anthocyanins was determined using the Adams–Harbertson assay. Finally, the data were analysed statistically by PLS regression to quantify laboratory-determined anthocyanin from FT–IR spectra. The correlations obtained showed good results for a large percentage of parameters studied, with the determination coefficient (R2) for both calibration and cross-validation exceeding 0.8. The models for molecular anthocyanins appeared to overestimate their prediction, owing to intercorrelation with other parameters. Comparison of the data for each vintage indicated no apparent matrix effect per year, and data for other vintages should be compared to validate this hypothesis. The best models were those for monomeric or polymeric pigments and free anthocyanins.Conclusions: By using FT–IR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics, it is possible to create predictive models to estimate concentrations of anthocyanins and changes in global anthocyanin parameters during winemaking.Significance and impact of the study: These results improve our understanding of anthocyanin prediction using FT–IR spectroscopy with chemometrics and pave the way for its use as a process control tool for the winemaker. They also highlight the propensity of chemometrics to overestimate certain predicted values when close parameters intercorrelate.

Abstract Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a label-free and highly sensitive technique that provides complete information on the chemical composition of biological samples. The bacterial FT-IR signals are extremely specific and highly reproducible fingerprint-like patterns, making FT-IR an efficient tool for bacterial typing and identification. Due to the low cost and high flux, FT-IR has been widely used in hospital hygiene management for infection control, epidemiological studies, and routine bacterial determination of clinical laboratory values. However, the typing and identification accuracy could be affected by many factors, and the bacterial FT-IR data from different laboratories are usually not comparable. A standard protocol is required to improve the accuracy of FT-IR-based typing and identification. Here, we detail the principles and procedures of bacterial typing and identification based on FT-IR spectroscopy, including bacterial culture, sample preparation, instrument operation, spectra collection, spectra preprocessing, and mathematical data analysis. Without bacterial culture, a typical experiment generally takes <2 h.
