| dc.description.abstract | The fraudulent addition of sugars to pineapple juice concentrate undermines consumer trust and satisfaction. Resistance (R), capacitance (C), dissipation factor (D), inductance (L), quality factor (Q), impedance (Z) and phase angle (θ) in the range of 0.012–200 kHz of juice adulterated with sugar increasing levels from 0 to 95% at 0.5% (w/w) intervals were tested to determine whether they could be used for detecting adulteration in pineapple juice concentrate using a LCR (inductance, capacitance, resistance) meter. A multiple linear regression (MLR) model was developed for predicting the concentration of additive sugars in samples. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used for classifying pure pineapple juice concentrate and pineapple juice concentrate adulterated with added sugars. The most accuracy in the MLR model was obtained from θ, which achieved a correlation coefficient of prediction (R<inf>p</inf>) of 0.977 and a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 5.88% w/w. From the LDA analysis, the most accurate parameter for classification was C, which yielded a predictive classification accuracy of 94.57%. Therefore, this technique indicates its potential for use in the fruit juice industry a simple method for routinely testing in order to ensure the non-contamination of products offered for sale to consumers. | |
