The quality of sweet tamarind fruit, as determined by its total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), and TSS/TA ratio, is important for consumer satisfaction. Nondestructive techniques are therefore required to assess the quality of sweet tamarind fruit. This study investigated whether near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) in the wavelength range of 935–1720 nm can be used as a non-destructive method to assess TSS, TA, and the TSS/TA ratio of sweet tamarind fruit and to classify it under commercial standards. NIR-HSI-based chemometric and machine-learning modeling was applied for quantification and qualification analyses. Calibration models for determining TSS, TA, and the TSS/TA ratio were developed using partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector machine regression (SVMR). A combination of first derivative and SNV spectral pretreatment was optimized to establish an SVMR model for TSS determination. MSC spectral pretreatment was optimized to develop the SVMR model for TA assessment, and the first derivative spectral pretreatment was optimized to establish an SVMR model for the TSS/TA ratio. Correlation coefficients of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) of 0.959, 0.961 and 0.957 were obtained with root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) of 1.102%, 0.369% and 7.850, and a ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) of 3.29, 3.52 and 3.34 for the TSS, TA, and TSS/TA ratio evaluations, respectively. Partial least squares–discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine classification (SVMC) were used for classifying sweet tamarind fruit under a commercial acidity standard (≤4%). The SVMC with SNV spectral pretreatment produced the best prediction results for distinguishing standard and off-standard sweet tamarind fruit with an 82.86% accuracy. NIR HSI can be used to non-destructively predict the quality of tamarind fruit. It can be applied for online sorting to evaluate individual sweet tamarind fruits for grading and quality control in factory environments.

Sodium nitrite is a food additive commonly used in sausages, but legally, the unsafe levels of nitrite in sausage should be less than 80 mg/kg, since higher levels can be harmful to consumers. Consumers must rely on processors to conform to these levels. Therefore, the determination of nitrite content in chicken sausages using near infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) was investigated. A total of 140 chicken sausage samples were produced by adding sodium nitrite in various levels. The samples were divided into a calibration set (n = 94) and a prediction set (n = 46). Quantitative analysis, to detect nitrate in the sausages, and qualitative analysis, to classify nitrite levels, were undertaken in order to evaluate whether individual sausages had safe levels or non-safe levels of nitrite. NIR-HSI was preprocessed to obtain the optimum conditions for establishing the models. The results showed that the model from the partial least squares regression (PLSR) gave the most reliable performance, with a coefficient of determination of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) of 0.92 and a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 15.603 mg/kg. The results of the classification using the partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed a satisfied accuracy for prediction of 91.30%. It was therefore concluded that they were sufficiently accurate for screening and that NIR-HSI has the potential to be used for the fast, accurate and reliable assessment of nitrite content in chicken sausages.

It has been reported that some brands of roasted ground coffee, whose ingredients are labeled as 100% Arabica coffee, may also contain the cheaper Robusta coffee. Thus, the objective of this research was to test whether near-infrared spectroscopy hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) or Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRs) could be used to test whether samples of coffee were pure Arabica or whether they contained Robusta, and if so, what were the levels of Robusta they contained. Qualitative models of both the NIR-HSI and FTIRs techniques were established with support vector machine classification (SVMC). Results showed that the highest levels of accuracy in the prediction set were 98.04 and 97.06%, respectively. Quantitative models of both techniques for predicting the concentration of Robusta in the samples of Arabica with Robusta were established using support vector machine regression (SVMR), which gave the highest levels of accuracy in the prediction set with a coefficient of determination for prediction (R<inf>p</inf><sup>2</sup>) of 0.964 and 0.956 and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 5.47 and 6.07%, respectively. It was therefore concluded that the results showed that both techniques (NIR-HSI and FTIRs) have the potential for use in the inspection of roasted ground coffee to classify and determine the respective levels of Arabica and Robusta within the mixture.
