Coconut oil, prized for its health benefits, faces quality threats from adulteration, particularly with cheaper palm oil. This not only degrades the quality but also poses health risks. Traditional detection methods are often labor-intensive, destructive, and time-consuming. This study addresses the issue by applying multispectral imaging technology combined with machine learning to detect palm oil adulteration in coconut oil. We selected four machine learning algorithms—Support Vector Machines (SVM), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Bagging—due to their robustness in handling complex datasets. These models achieved classification accuracies of up to 100 %, far surpassing traditional chemical tests, which are slower and dependent on tester expertise. To further enhance detection accuracy, we employed both hard- and soft-voting mechanisms, integrating the strengths of individual models to improve overall reliability. This research marks a significant advancement in detecting coconut oil adulteration, offering a faster, more efficient solution to ensure product quality and consumer health.

This study aimed to establish a simultaneous and non-destructive method for the prediction of multiple internal quality characteristics in mandarin citrus with near-infrared spectroscopy combined with ensemble learning strategy. 490 spectra were obtained over the whole picking period without destroying the citrus samples. The ensemble learning strategy was used to establish the quantitative models to simultaneously predict multiple internal quality characteristics, including soluble solids content (SSC), pH, and total acidity (TA), compared with partial least squares (PLS) method. Both validation set and independent test set obtained one month later were used to validate the models. The optimal collection points for the three characteristics were obtained. The ensemble learning strategy was better than PLS method, which can be used to improve the predictive accuracy. The best prediction models for SSC, pH, and TA were second-order derivatives (2nd)-consensus partial least squares (CPLS), 2nd-boosting-PLS (BPLS), and continuous wavelet transform-BPLS. The root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEPs) for validation set were 1.0117, 0.1924, and 0.2408, respectively, while the RMSEPs for independent test set were 1.1067, 0.2647, and 0.2563, respectively. Besides, the long-wave NIR light was more suitable for the quantitative analysis of multiple internal quality characteristics in mandarin citrus than short-wave NIR light.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of thermal processing on the physicochemical properties of 20 honey samples. It was found that sucrose was the most susceptible sugar to degradation during thermal processing, while glucose and fructose contents remained relatively constant. While the moisture content of honey samples varied significantly, it remained below the maximum allowed level for all samples. Thermal treatment did not significantly affect the pH and acidity of honey samples. The study suggests that thermal processing in the range of 40–60 °C does not significantly affect the chemical composition of honey, however, it leads to a reduction in electrical conductivity. The proline content of all kinds of honey samples were depleted upon the thermal processing. The study also found that thermal treatment increased the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content of honey samples, with the intensity of the change varying among samples with different plant origins. Ion mobility spectrometry was also found to be a promising method for the detection and quantification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in honey.

The current study attempts to examine the physicochemical properties of Himalayan pears and envision the relationship between mass and volume with various physical properties. These properties are measured using image processing techniques at different storage days (1st day, 4th day, 7th day, 10th day, and 13th day). The study employs both single and multivariable regression models, including linear, quadratic, rational, and exponential models to establish predictive relationships. Among the single variable models, the length-based linear and rational models demonstrated exceptional suitability for envisioning the mass and volume of pears, achieving higher R2 values of 0.92 and 0.90, respectively. For mass and volume prediction considering combined physical properties, the rational and exponential models exhibited the best fit with higher R2 values of 0.94 and 0.91, accompanied by low RMSE values of 0.217 and 0.141. Consequently, the established relationship between the mass and volume of Himalayan pears with its physical attributes contributes to the development of a faster, more authentic, and accurate grading system.

The increasing problem of meat adulteration significantly threatens consumer health and economic order. Therefore, developing an efficient and low-cost method for multi-species detection is essential to overcome the disadvantages of single-targeted, low-efficiency, and high-cost methods. This study presents a novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (MPCR)-triple lateral flow strip (TLFS) integrated method, which enables the simultaneous, quantitative detection of chicken, duck, and pork ingredients in adulterated meat samples. Unlike traditional methods that target single species or require complex instrumentation, this method uniquely combines MPCR with TLFS to detect multiple species in one run, significantly reducing detection time and cost. This method uses MPCR to amplify genes specific to the three target types of meat and differentiate them by fluorophores (6-Fam, Cy5, and Digoxin). The TLFS consists of three separate lanes, each specific to one target meat amplicon (chicken, duck, or pork), allowing for the simultaneous detection of all three species from a single input sample. This setup enables the quantification of each species within a mixed meat sample by measuring the signal intensity from each lane, thus providing species-specific quantification in one run. MPCR amplicons are compatible with TLFS via antigen-antibody binding. By optimizing the reaction conditions, the method demonstrated good specificity, sensitivity, and stability. There were no cross-detections for three target meats (chicken, duck, and pork) and no false positives for seven others (horse, beef, lamb, camel, turkey, goose, and rabbit). The detection limit for chicken, duck, and pork species was low to 0.1 %, 0.5 %, and 0.05 % (wt%), respectively, which are all lower than the 1 % detection limit specified by the Chinese National Standard (GB/T 38164–2019). In the TLFS detection, meat samples can be qualified at 1 min and quantified after 7 min. The results of commercial samples showed that the method was consistent with the results of the national standard method, proving its reliability and practicality.

Panax has a long history as a traditional Chinese medicine, and has many pharmacological activities such as tonifying, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor. In addition, the use of ginseng is gradually shifting from traditional medicine to food. Saponins are the effective components of ginseng plants, but because of their low content and the growing environment of ginseng plants getting worse, it is difficult to meet the use requirements. The variety, cultivation, producing area, harvest time, and other factors of Panax are very important to the quality of Panax saponins. In addition, rare saponins with low natural abundance can be produced by deglycosylation or side chain modification through physical and chemical processing or biotransformation. Most importantly, compared with the prototype saponins, they show strong biological activity, which leads to the research and development of ginseng and rare ginsenoside-related nutritional health products and natural products being highly concerned. Therefore, this paper summarizes the latest progress in the structural diversity, transformation routes, processed products of Ginseng plants from different places and years, and synchronous detection methods of rare saponins with different transformation methods, to provide the reference for the rapid discovery, quality control, and further development and utilization of rare saponins products.

Increasing health awareness in the public and consumption of foods capable of promoting health has raised the use of fruits and vegetables seeds loaded with of nutritional contents and phytochemicals. In this regard, pumpkin seeds have now been found a valuable byproduct of pumpkin processing industry. The aim of this review paper is to summarize the evidence-based data on the possible use of pumpkin seeds as nutritional and functional food ingredients in different food formulations, collected from verified electronic data bases during the last 10 years. Further, this review concentrated on synthesizing scientific information that examines pumpkin seeds nutritional and bioactive contents and their potential as a functional food ingredient. We give a thorough description of the chemical make-up, phytochemical contents and biological activities of pumpkin seeds, as well as the procedures used in its processing and current applications. A wide range of bakery, dairy, confectionary, snack and meat products have been found developed so far, through incorporation of pumpkin seeds in different forms (whole seeds, powders, extracts, seed oils, seed starches). Proteins with high class peptides, enzymes and amino acids, fats and oils with essential oils and polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibers, essential macro and micro minerals and wide range of fat- and water-soluble vitamins are among the major nutritional contents found in pumpkin seeds. While polyphenols, carotenoids and phytosterols are major bioactives of pumpkin seeds with hundreds of secondary metabolites. Pumpkin seeds due to high nutritional contents and loads of bioactives, could be promoted for extensive research.

Multi-elemental analysis of honey samples from Mendoza (Argentina) was performed with the aim of developing a reliable method for tracing honey provenance. The concentrations of twenty-six elements (Li, Na, Mg, Al, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Pd, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Hg and Pb) were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), considering the most abundant isotopes. Subsequently, a comparative machine learning approach for classification and for variable selection was applied to evaluate the possibility of using them as relevant markers to predict the region where honey was produced. Our results clearly demonstrate the potential of decision tree classifiers, such as Random Forest (RF), C5.0, recursive partitioning (rpart) and conditional inference tree (ctree), as simple and agile chemometric tools for honey origin identification. Moreover, the variable selection tools reduced the elemental data matrix to only six elements (Co, Sr, Zn, Na, Rb and Li) which were identified as the most important for predicting honey origin.

Moreover, the variable selection tools reduced the elemental data matrix to only six elements (Co, Sr, Zn, Na, Rb and Li) which were identified as the most important for predicting honey origin.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Composition and Analysis","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 106958"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Muscle tissue is known to contain plasmalogenic lipids. Traditional methodologies for the analysis of lipids in muscle consists of methanolysis followed by gas chromatography (GC). The resultant dimethylacetals (DMA) are difficult to resolve because of extensive overlap with fatty acid methyl esters. In this study a new two-step procedure was applied to isolate DMAs from FAMEs from methanolysed horse muscle lipids (n=48) after saponification and solvent partitioning. Both total and isolated DMAs were analysed by GC and the extent of overlap was evident. The total methylated mixture was also analyzed using GC with online reduction (GC-OR x GC) which confirmed the identity of the FAME, DMA and aldehyde products. The DMA content in horse muscle tissue was found to be 55.7 mg DMAs in 100 g of meat, or 3.10 % of total lipids. The saturates 16:0 and 18:0 were the predominant DMA isomers, and 18:3n-3 and 18:2n-6 DMA were identified in this tissue. Samples with a higher (> 3 g/100 g of meat) intramuscular fat (IM) content showed a lower (p ≤ 0.05) absolute content of the DMAs compared to samples with lower IM fat content (15.3 vs 29.3 mg/g of fat, respectively).
