    Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides broadbands, overtones, and combinations of organic-bond vibrations and has been used to characterize agricultural and food products. The adulteration of grated nutmeg with cinnamon is extremely profitable and difficult to detect; to prevent retail fraud, it is vital to differentiate between these materials. This study proposes a model for classifying the adulteration of nutmeg with cinnamon and predicting the level of adulteration. NIR spectra were characterized with six machine learning (ML) algorithms, namely, the principal component-multilayer perceptron (PC-MLP), principal component-linear discriminant analysis (PC-LDA), partial least squares regression (PLSR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and decision tree (DT) methods. PC-MLP provided 100% accuracy in calibration and prediction in distinguishing nutmeg from cinnamon. In addition, this approach showed excellent performance in predicting the adulteration ratio of nutmeg and cinnamon with a high coefficient of determination of prediction (R <sup>2</sup><inf>pred</inf>) value of 0.9969, low root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) value of 0.5728%, and high ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) value of 17.9605. Therefore, this study indicates the potential of integrating NIR spectroscopy with PC-MLP to classify and quantify the adulteration of nutmeg.

    The global demand for nutmeg powder has increased, raising the risk of adulteration and necessitating an efficient and cost-effective screening method. The objective of this study is to develop a calibration model to predict the adulteration of nutmeg powder by cinnamon powder using a novel approach by integrating image processing with machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). Eight regressors, including four ML regressors (multiple linear ridge regression–MLRR, partial least squares regression–PLSR, multi-layer perceptron–MLP, and adaptive boosting–ABS) and four DL regressors (convolutional neural networks–CNN, AlexNET, residual networks–ResNET, and GoogleNET), were employed to analyze 1800 images of adulteration samples ranging from 0 % to 35 % (w/w). Among ML models, MLP achieved the highest accuracy in prediction (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.922, RMSEP=2.804 %, RPD=3.59), while PLSR (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.876, RMSEP=3.538 %, RPD=2.84), MLRR (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.872, RMSEP=3.596 %, RPD=2.80), and ABS (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.849, RMSEP=3.904 %, RPD=2.58) underperformed. For DL, ResNET (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.882, RMSEP=3.416 %, RPD=2.91) surpassed CNN (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.876, RMSEP=3.505 %, RPD=2.84), AlexNET (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.801, RMSEP=4.429 %, RPD=2.24), and GoogleNET (R<inf>p</inf>²=0.751, RMSEP=4.963 %, RPD=2.00). The MLP's superiority highlights its compatibility with ORB-based feature extraction for nonlinear adulteration patterns, outperforming complex DL architectures. This research highlights the potential of image processing supported by ML and DL as a rapid and low-cost tool for future nutmeg powder adulteration screening.
