[PMID: 38905832 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
This study proposed a novel approach to automatically select the preprocessing methods and hyperparameters of machine learning (ML) algorithms based on their best performance in cross-validation for near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy data. The proposed method simultaneously incorporates single or multiple-preprocessing steps and tunes hyperparameters to determine the best model performance for FT-NIR and Micro-NIR spectral data of coconut milk adulteration with distilled water and mature coconut water in the range of 0%-50%. Computational experiments were conducted using nine single preprocessing types, three types of ML classifier (linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbour (KNN), multilayer perceptron (MLP)) and three types of ML regressor (partial least squares (PLS), KNN, MLP). The proposed performance strategy effectively addressed and produced satisfactory outcomes for classification and regression challenges in coconut milk adulteration. Finally, the results demonstrated that the proposed approach can more accurately determine the best model, particularly for NIR spectroscopy of coconut milk adulteration.

Accurate prediction of hyaluronic acid concentration under temperature perturbations using near-infrared spectroscopy and deep learning. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 317:124396.

Abstract
Accurate prediction of the concentration of a large number of hyaluronic acid (HA) samples under temperature perturbations can facilitate the rapid determination of HA's appropriate applications. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy analysis combined with deep learning presents an effective solution to this challenge, with current research in this area being scarce. Initially, we introduced a novel feature fusion method based on an intersection strategy and used two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) and Aquaphotomics to interpret the interaction information in HA solutions reflected by the fused features. Subsequently, we created an innovative, multi-strategy improved Walrus Optimization Algorithm (MIWaOA) for parameter optimization of the deep extreme learning machine (DELM). The final constructed MIWaOA-DELM model demonstrated superior performance compared to partial least squares (PLS), extreme learning machine (ELM), DELM, and WaOA-DELM models. The results of this study can provide a reference for the quantitative analysis of biomacromolecules in complex systems.

Measurement errors and implications for preprocessing in miniaturised near-infrared spectrometers: Classification of sweet and bitter almonds as a case of study. Talanta 2024; 276:126271. [PMID: 38761663 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a well-established analytical technique that has been used in many applications over the years. Due to the advancements in the semiconductor industry, NIR instruments have evolved from benchtop instruments to miniaturised portable devices. The miniaturised NIR instruments have gained more interest in recent years because of the fast and robust measurements they provide with almost no sample pretreatments. However, due to the very different configurations and characteristics of these instruments, they need a dedicated optimization of the measurement conditions, which is crucial for obtaining reliable results. To comprehensively grasp the capabilities and potentials offered by these sensors, it is imperative to examine errors that can affect the raw data, which is a facet frequently overlooked. In this study, measurement error covariance and correlation matrices were calculated and then visually inspected to gain insight into the error structures associated with the devices, and to find the optimal preprocessing technique that may result in the improvement of the models built. This strategy was applied to the classification of sweet and bitter almonds, which were measured with the three portable low-cost NIR devices (SCiO, FlameNIR+ and NeoSpectra Micro Development Kit) after removing the shelled, since their classification is of utmost importance for the almond industry. The results showed that bitter almonds can be classified from sweet almonds using any of the instruments after selecting the optimal preprocessing, obtained through inspection of covariance and correlation matrices. Measurements obtained with FlameNIR + device provided the best classification models with an accuracy of 98 %. The chosen strategy provides new insight into the performance characterization of the fast-growing miniaturised NIR instruments.

Field assessment of active ingredient quantity in pharmaceutical tablets with limited calibration of near infrared spectra: An application to ciprofloxacin tablets. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 246:116189. [PMID: 38733763 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometers have emerged as valuable tools for identifying substandard and falsified pharmaceuticals (SFPs). Integration of these devices with chemometric and machine learning models enhances their ability to provide quantitative chemical insights. However, different NIR spectrophotometer models vary in resolution, sensitivity, and responses to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, necessitating instrument-specific libraries that hinder the wider adoption of NIR technology. This study addresses these challenges and seeks to establish a robust approach to promote the use of NIR technology in post-market pharmaceutical analysis. We developed support vector machine and partial least squares regression models based on binary mixtures of lab-made ciprofloxacin and microcrystalline cellulose, then applied the models to ciprofloxacin dosage forms that were assayed with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to set spectrophotometer independent NIR metrics to evaluate ciprofloxacin dosage forms as "meets standard," "needs HPLC assay," or "fails standard." Over 200 ciprofloxacin tablets representing 50 different brands were evaluated using spectra acquired from three types of NIR spectrophotometer with 85% of the prediction agreeing with HPLC testing. This study shows that non-brand-specific predictive models can be applied across multiple spectrophotometers for rapid screening of the conformity of pharmaceutical active ingredients to regulatory standard.

Abstract
This study investigates the efficacy of handheld Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) devices for in-field estimation of forage quality using undried samples. The objective is to assess the precision and accuracy of multiple handheld NIRS instruments-NeoSpectra, TrinamiX, and AgroCares-when evaluating key forage quality metrics such as Crude Protein (CP), Neutral Detergent Fiber (aNDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL), in vitro Total Digestibility (IVTD)and Neutral Detergent Fiber Digestibility (NDFD). Samples were collected from silage bunkers across 111 farms in New York State and scanned using different methods (static, moving, and turntable). The results demonstrate that dynamic scanning patterns (moving and turntable) enhance the predictive accuracy of the models compared to static scans. Fiber constituents (ADF, aNDF) and Crude Protein (CP) show higher robustness and minimal impact from water interference, maintaining similar R2 values as dried samples. Conversely, IVTD, NDFD, and ADL are adversely affected by water content, resulting in lower R2 values. This study underscores the importance of understanding the water effects on undried forage, as water's high absorption bands at 1400 and 1900 nm introduce significant spectral interference. Further investigation into the PLSR loading factors is necessary to mitigate these effects. The findings suggest that, while handheld NIRS devices hold promise for rapid, on-site forage quality assessment, careful consideration of scanning methodology is crucial for accurate prediction models. This research contributes valuable insights for optimizing the use of portable NIRS technology in forage analysis, enhancing feed utilization efficiency, and supporting sustainable dairy farming practices.

Abstract
Against the backdrop of continuous socio-economic development, there is a growing concern among people about food quality and safety. Individuals are increasingly realizing the critical importance of healthy eating for bodily health; hence the continuous rise in demand for detecting food pollution. Simultaneously, the rapid expansion of global food trade has made people's pursuit of high-quality food more urgent. However, traditional methods of food analysis have certain limitations, mainly manifested in the high degree of reliance on personal subjective judgment for assessing food quality. In this context, the emergence of artificial intelligence and biosensors has provided new possibilities for the evaluation of food quality. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach that involves aggregating data relevant to food quality indices and developing corresponding evaluation models to highlight the effectiveness and comprehensiveness of artificial intelligence and biosensors in food quality evaluation. The potential prospects and challenges of this method in the field of food safety are comprehensively discussed, aiming to provide valuable references for future research and practice.

Abstract
A convenient, low-cost, and rapid detection of BmNPV-infected silkworms is of great significance for the safety of the sericulture industry. In this study, a portable NIR system was used to collect the spectra of normal silkworms and the infected silkworms induced by the administration of Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV). Different spectral pretreatment methods were applied, then principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) were used for the classification analysis. The results showed that PCA and LDA were unable to achieve the purpose. For the PLSDA calibration, after the pretreatment of SNV combining 2nd derivative, it had a high identification performance, and obtained low classification errors of 0.023, 0.033, and 0.030 for the calibration set, cross-validation set, and test set, respectively, with higher sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, the BmNPV-infected silkworms can be identified by portable NIR spectroscopy, which will effectively reduce losses for the sericulture industry.

Abstract
This study investigates the challenges encountered in utilizing portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers in agriculture, specifically in developing predictive models with high accuracy and robust generalization abilities despite limited spectral resolution and small sample sizes. The research concentrates on the near-infrared spectra of corn feed, utilizing spectral processing techniques and CNNs to precisely estimate crude protein content. Five preprocessing methods were implemented alongside two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy, resulting in the development of both one-dimensional (1D) and 2D regression models. A comparative analysis of these models in predicting crude protein content demonstrated that 1D-CNNs exhibited superior predictive performance within the 1D category. For the 2D models, CropNet and CropResNet were utilized, with CropResNet demonstrating more accurate and superior predictive capabilities. Overall, the integration of 2D correlation spectroscopy with suitable preprocessing techniques in deep learning models, particularly the 2D CropResNet, proved to be more precise in predicting the crude protein content in corn feed. This finding emphasis the potential of this approach in the portable spectrometer market.

Abstract
Burns represent a prevalent global health concern and are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections. Severe infections may lead to serious complications, posing a life-threatening risk. Near-infrared (NIR)-assisted photothermal antibacterial combined with antioxidant hydrogel has shown significant potential in the healing of infected wounds. However, existing photothermal agents are typically metal-based, complicated to synthesize, or pose biosafety hazards. In this study, we utilized plant-derived blackcurrant extract (B) as a natural source for both photothermal and antioxidant properties. By incorporating B into a G-O hydrogel crosslinked through Schiff base reaction between gelatin (G) and oxidized pullulan (O), the resulting G-O-B hydrogel exhibited good injectability and biocompatibility along with robust photothermal and antioxidant activities. Upon NIR irradiation, the controlled temperature (around 45-50 °C) generated by the G-O-B hydrogel resulted in rapid (10 min) and efficient killing of Staphylococcus aureus (99 %), Escherichia coli (98 %), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (82 %). Furthermore, the G-O-B0.5 hydrogel containing 0.5 % blackcurrant extract promoted collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and accelerated burn wound closure conclusively, demonstrating that this well-designed and extract-contained hydrogel dressing holds immense potential for enhancing the healing process of bacterial-infected burn wounds.

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Combined with Fuzzy Improved Direct Linear Discriminant Analysis for Nondestructive Discrimination of Chrysanthemum Tea Varieties. Foods 2024; 13:1439. [PMID: 38790739 PMCID: PMC11119828 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The quality of chrysanthemum tea has a great connection with its variety. Different types of chrysanthemum tea have very different efficacies and functions. Moreover, the discrimination of chrysanthemum tea varieties is a significant issue in the tea industry. Therefore, to correctly and non-destructively categorize chrysanthemum tea samples, this study attempted to design a novel feature extraction method based on the fuzzy set theory and improved direct linear discriminant analysis (IDLDA), called fuzzy IDLDA (FIDLDA), for extracting the discriminant features from the near-infrared (NIR) spectral data of chrysanthemum tea. To start with, a portable NIR spectrometer was used to collect NIR data for five varieties of chrysanthemum tea, totaling 400 samples. Secondly, the raw NIR spectra were processed by four different pretreatment methods to reduce noise and redundant data. Thirdly, NIR data dimensionality reduction was performed by principal component analysis (PCA). Fourthly, feature extraction from the NIR spectra was performed by linear discriminant analysis (LDA), IDLDA, and FIDLDA. Finally, the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm was applied to evaluate the classification accuracy of the discrimination system. The experimental results show that the discrimination accuracies of LDA, IDLDA, and FIDLDA could reach 87.2%, 94.4%, and 99.2%, respectively. Therefore, the combination of near-infrared spectroscopy and FIDLDA has great application potential and prospects in the field of nondestructive discrimination of chrysanthemum tea varieties.

Abstract
Portable NIR spectrometers are effective in detecting authentic pharmaceutical products in intact capsule formulations, which can be used to screen for substandard or falsified versions of those authentic products. However, the chemometric models are trained on libraries of authentic products, and are generally unreliable for detection of quality problems in products from outside their training set, even for products that are nominally the same active pharmaceutical ingredient and same dosage as products in the training set. As part of our research directed at developing better non-brand-specific strategies for pharmaceutical screening, we investigated the impact of capsule composition on NIR modeling. We found that capsule features like gelatin type, color, or thickness, give rise to a similar amount of variance in the NIR spectra as the type of API stored within the capsules. Our results highlight the efficacy of orthogonal projection to latent structures in mitigating the impacts of different types of capsules on the accuracy of NIR chemometric models for classification and regression analysis of lab-made samples. The models showed good performance for classification of field-collected doxycycline capsules as good or bad quality when an NIR-based % w/w metric was used, identifying five samples that were adulterated with talc. However, the % w/w was systematically underestimated, so when evaluating the capsules based on their absolute API content according to the monograph standard, the classification accuracy decreased from 100% to 70%. The underestimation was attributed to an unforeseen variability in the quantities and types of excipients present in the capsules.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1361328.

Abstract
Introduction NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometric algorithms has been widely used for seed authenticity detection. However, the study of seed genetic distance, an internal feature that affects the discriminative performance of classification models, has rarely been reported. Methods Therefore, maize seed samples of different genotypes were selected to investigate the effect of genetic distance on the authenticity of single seeds detected by NIR spectroscopy. Firstly, the Support vector machine (SVM) model was established using spectral information combined with a preprocessing algorithm, and then the DNA of the samples was extracted to study the correlation between genetic and relative spectral distances, the model identification performance, and finally to compare the similarities and differences between the results of genetic clustering and relative spectral clustering. Results The results were as follows: the average accuracy of the models was 93.6% (inbred lines) and 93.7% (hybrids), respectively; Genetic distance and correlation spectral distance exhibited positive correlation significantly (inbred lines: r=0.177, p<0.05; hybrids: r=0.238, p<0.05), likewise genetic distance and model accuracy also showed positive correlation (inbred lines: r=0.611, p<0.01; hybrids: r=0.6158, p<0.01); Genetic clustering and spectral clustering results were essentially uniform for 94.3% (inbred lines) and 93.9% (hybrids), respectively. Discussion This study reveals the relationship between the genetic and relative spectral distances of seeds and the accuracy of the model, which provides theoretical basis for the establishment of the standardized system for detecting the authenticity of seeds by NIR spectroscopic techniques.

Abstract
Multi-channel and multi-parameter near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has gradually become a new research direction and hot spot due to its ability to provide real-time, continuous, comprehensive indicators of multiple parameters. However, multi-channel and multi-parameter detection may lead to crosstalk between signals. There is still a lack of benchmarks for the evaluation of the reliability, sensitivity, stability and response consistency of the NIRS instruments. In this study, a set of test methods (a human blood model test, ink drop test, multi-channel crosstalk test and multi-parameter crosstalk test) for analyzing crosstalk and verifying the reliability of NIRS was conducted to test experimental verification on a multi-channel (8-channel), multi-parameter (4-parameter) NIRS instrument independently developed by our team. Results show that these tests can be used to analyze the signal crosstalk and verify the reliability, sensitivity, stability and response consistency of the NIRS instrument. This study contributes to the establishment of benchmarks for the NIRS instrument crosstalk and reliability testing. These novel tests have the potential to become the benchmark for NIRS instrument reliability testing.

Abstract
Microplastic (MP) is ubiquitous in the environment which appeared as an immense intimidation to human and animal health. The plastic fragments significantly polluted the ocean, fresh water, food chain, and other food items. Inadequate maintenance, less knowledge of adverse influence along with inappropriate usage in addition throwing away of plastics items revolves present planet in to plastics planet. The present study aims to focus on the recognition and advance detection technologies for MPs and the adverse effects of micro- and nanoplastics on human health. MPs have rigorous adverse effect on human health that leads to condensed growth rates, lessened reproductive capability, ulcer, scrape, and oxidative nervous anxiety, in addition, also disturb circulatory and respiratory mechanism. The detection of MP particles has also placed emphasis on identification technologies such as scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, optical detection, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermo-analytical techniques, flow cytometry, holography, and hyperspectral imaging. It suggests that further research should be explored to understand the source, distribution, and health impacts and evaluate numerous detection methodologies for the MPs along with purification techniques.

Abstract
This comprehensive review paper aims to captivate the applicability of in-sorbent detection, where near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) converges with enrichment technologies. For this purpose, we collected and summarized information regarding the combination of several sophisticated analytical enrichment techniques with NIRS to further explore and develop this synergistic approach. Peer-reviewed publications, matching the criteria of in situ NIR measurements prior analyte elution, have been collected, investigated, and concluded within this review. Investigations according to used materials, commercial or self-made, composition, organic or inorganic and applied analytical methodologies have been carried out. Applications extending over a multitude of chemical fields, from environmental to medicinal applications. As this review concludes, the combination of these techniques further expands the applicability of NIRS and moreover tries to solve the long-standing issue of the comparably low sensitivity regarding this vibrational technique.

Abstract
(R)-Limonene VCD and IR absorption spectra for neat liquid samples are considered from 900 to 16,000 cm-1, using mostly data by Nafie et al. up to 10,000 cm-1 and from previous investigations of the Brescia group. New VCD data are recorded in the merely overtone and combination region between 1800 and 2400 cm-1 and for the Δn= 6 overtone CH-stretching region above 15,000 cm-1. The GVPT2 anharmonic DFT calculations permit satisfactory interpretation of the fundamental + overtone/combination of deformation modes in the mid-IR up to 3500 cm-1. The GVPT2 approach is also used for the first CH-stretching overtone regions together with their combination with deformation modes up to 9000 cm-1. Then the local-mode approach developed within the DFT protocol is employed in all the CH-stretching regions (fundamental + overtones) and is found to satisfactorily account for the observed spectra, justifying the constant VCD pattern observed for all overtones. On the basis of the local-mode model the components of the bisignate VCD spectrum are attributed to the stretchings of the axial and equatorial CH bonds in α-position with respect to the ring CC double bond.

Abstract
Iberian ham is a highly appreciated product and according to Spanish legislation different labels identify different products depending on the genetic purity. Consequently, "100% Iberian" ham from purebred Iberian animals is more expensive than "Iberian" ham from Iberian x Duroc crosses. The hypothesis of this study was that to avoid labelling fraud it is possible to distinguish the breed (Iberian or Iberian x Duroc) of acorn-fed pigs of Iberian ham without any prior preparation of the sample by using spectroscopy that is a rapid and reliable technology. Moreover, portable devices which can be used in situ could provide similar results to those of benchtop equipment. Therefore, the spectra of the 60 samples (24 samples of 100% Iberian ham and 36 samples of Iberian x Duroc crossbreed ham) were recorded only for the fat, only for the muscle, or for the whole slice with two benchtop near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers (Büchi NIRFlex N-500 and Foss NIRSystem 5000) and five portable spectrometers including four portable NIR devices (VIAVI MicroNIR 1700 ES, TellSpec Enterprise Sensor, Thermo Fischer Scientific microPHAZIR, and Consumer Physics SCiO Sensor), and one RAMAN device (BRAVO handheld). The results showed that, in general, the whole slice recording produced the best results for classification purposes. The SCiO device showed the highest percentages of correctly classified samples (97% in calibration and 92% in validation) followed by TellSpec (100% and 81%). The SCiO sensor also showed the highest percentages of success when the analyses were performed only on lean meat (97% in calibration and 83% in validation) followed by microPHAZIR (84% and 81%), while in the case of the fat tissue. Raman technology showed the best discrimination capacity (96% and 78%) followed by microPHAZIR (89% and 81%). Therefore, spectroscopy has proved to be a suitable technology for discriminating ham samples according to breed purity; portable devices have been shown to give even better results than benchtop spectrometers.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a bone disease caused by bacteria that can damage bone. Raman handheld spectroscopy has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for detecting bone infection and can be used intraoperatively during surgical procedures. This study involved 120 bone samples from 40 patients, with 80 samples infected with either Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis. Raman handheld spectroscopy demonstrated successful differentiation between healthy and infected bone samples and between the two types of bacterial pathogens. Raman handheld spectroscopy appears to be a promising diagnostic tool in bone infection and holds the potential to overcome many of the shortcomings of traditional diagnostic procedures. Further research, however, is required to confirm its diagnostic capabilities and consider other factors, such as the limit of pathogen detection and optimal calibration standards.

Abstract
This study focuses on exploring and understanding measurement errors in analytical procedures involving miniaturized near-infrared instruments. Despite recent spreading in different application fields, there remains a lack of emphasis on the accuracy and reliability of these devices, which is a critical concern for accurate scientific outcomes. The study investigates multivariate measurement errors, revealing their complex nature and the influence that preprocessing techniques can have. The research introduces a possible workflow for practical error analysis in experiments involving diverse samples and instruments. Notably, it investigates how sample characteristics impact errors in the case of solid pills and tablets, typical pharmaceutical samples. ASCA was used for understanding critical instrumental factors and the potential and limitations of the method in the current application were discussed. The joint interpretation of multivariate error matrices and their resume through image histograms and K index are discussed in order to evaluate the impact of common preprocessing methods and to assess their influence on signals.

The Application of Handheld Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Raman Spectroscopic Imaging for the Identification and Quality Control of Food Products. Molecules 2023; 28:7891. [PMID: 38067622 PMCID: PMC10708147 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28237891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The following investigations describe the potential of handheld NIR spectroscopy and Raman imaging measurements for the identification and authentication of food products. On the one hand, during the last decade, handheld NIR spectroscopy has made the greatest progress among vibrational spectroscopic methods in terms of miniaturization and price/performance ratio, and on the other hand, the Raman spectroscopic imaging method can achieve the best lateral resolution when examining the heterogeneous composition of samples. The utilization of both methods is further enhanced via the combination with chemometric evaluation methods with respect to the detection, identification, and discrimination of illegal counterfeiting of food products. To demonstrate the solution to practical problems with these two spectroscopic techniques, the results of our recent investigations obtained for various industrial processes and customer-relevant product examples have been discussed in this article. Specifically, the monitoring of food extraction processes (e.g., ethanol extraction of clove and water extraction of wolfberry) and the identification of food quality (e.g., differentiation of cocoa nibs and cocoa beans) via handheld NIR spectroscopy, and the detection and quantification of adulterations in powdered dairy products via Raman imaging were outlined in some detail. Although the present work only demonstrates exemplary product and process examples, the applications provide a balanced overview of materials with different physical properties and manufacturing processes in order to be able to derive modified applications for other products or production processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The implementation of process analytical technologies (PAT) has gained attention since 2004 when its formal introduction through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was introduced. Manufacturers that need to evaluate the employment of new monitoring systems could face different challenges: identification of suitable sensors, verification of data meaning, evaluation of several statistical strategies to obtain insights about data and achieve process understanding and finally, the actual possibilities for monitoring. Kefir fermentations were chosen as an example because of the chemical and physical transformations that occurred during the process, which could be common to several other fermentation processes. In order to pave the way for monitoring establish the information contained in the data and find the right tools for extracting them is of extreme importance. Strategies to identify different experimental conditions in the spectra acquired with a miniaturized NIR (1350-2550 nm) during process occurrence were addressed. RESULTS The study aims to offer insights into good practices and steps to pave the way for process monitoring with handheld NIR data. The main aspects of interest for batch processes in preliminary evaluations were investigated and discussed. On the one hand, process understanding and, on the other, the possibilities for process monitoring and endpoint determination were examined. The combination of different statistical tools allowed the extraction of information from the data and the identification of the link between them and the chemical and physical changes during the process. In addition, insights into the spectra characteristics in the studied spectroscopic range for kefir fermentation were reported. SIGNIFICANCE The capabilities for miniaturized NIR spectra to represent and statistical strategies to characterize different experimental conditions in a real case fermentation occurrence were proved. The strengths and limitations of some of the common approaches to catch changes in fermentation condition were highlighted. For the various statistical approaches, the chances offered in the research and development stages and to set the scene for monitoring and end-point detection were explored.

Abstract
The extensive applications of spectrum analysis across various fields have rendered the traditional desktop spectrometers unable to meet the market demand for portability and instantaneity. Reducing the size of spectrometers has become a topic of interest. Based on this trend, a novel type of computational spectrometer is developed and has been widely studied owing to its unique features. Such spectrometers do not need to integrate complex mechanical or optical structures, and most of them can achieve spectrum analysis by the properties of the material itself combines with the reconstruction algorithm. Impressively, a single-detector computational spectrometer has recently been successfully realized based on in situ modulation of material properties. This not only enables the further miniaturization of the device, but also means that the footprint-resolution limitation which has always existed in the field of hyperspectral imaging has been broken, opening a new era of image analysis. This review summarizes the classifications and principles of various spectrometers, compares the spectrum resolution performances of different types of spectrometers, and highlights the progress of computational spectrometers, especially the revolutionary single-detector spectrometer. It is expected that this review will provide a positive impact on expanding the boundary of spectrum analysis and move hyperspectral imaging forward.

Abstract
The flour milling industry-a vital component of global food production-is undergoing a transformative phase driven by the integration of smart devices and advanced technologies. This transition promises improved efficiency, quality and sustainability in flour production. The accurate estimation of protein, moisture and ash content in wheat grains and flour is of paramount importance due to their direct impact on product quality and compliance with industry standards. This paper explores the application of Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as a non-destructive, efficient and cost-effective method for measuring the aforementioned essential parameters in wheat and flour by investigating the effectiveness of a low-cost handle NIR spectrometer. Furthermore, a novel approach using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) is proposed to estimate the protein, moisture and ash content in grain seeds and flour, marking the first known application of FCMs in this context. Our study includes an experimental setup that assesses different types of wheat seeds and flour samples and evaluates three NIR pre-processing techniques to enhance the parameter estimation accuracy. The results indicate that low-cost NIR equipment can contribute to the estimation of the studied parameters.

Abstract
There is a growing interest for cost-effective and nondestructive analytical techniques in both research and application fields. The growing approach by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRs) pushes to develop handheld devices devoted to be easily applied for in situ determinations. Consequently, portable NIR spectrometers actually result definitively recognized as powerful instruments, able to perform nondestructive, online, or in situ analyses, and useful tools characterized by increasingly smaller size, lower cost, higher robustness, easy-to-use by operator, portable and with ergonomic profile. Chemometrics play a fundamental role to obtain useful and meaningful results from NIR spectra. In this review, portable NIRs applications, published in the period 2019-2022, have been selected to indicate starting references. These publications have been chosen among the many examples of the most recent applications to demonstrate the potential of this analytical approach which, not having the need for extraction processes or any other pre-treatment of the sample under examination, can be considered the "true green analytical chemistry" which allows the analysis where the sample to be characterized is located. In the case of industrial processes or plant or animal samples, it is even possible to follow the variation or evolution of fundamental parameters over time. Publications of specific applications in this field continuously appear in the literature, often in unfamiliar journal or in dedicated special issues. This review aims to give starting references, sometimes not easy to be found.

Comparison of Mid-Infrared Handheld and Benchtop Spectrometers to Detect Staphylococcus epidermidis in Bone Grafts. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1018.

Abstract
Bone analyses using mid-infrared spectroscopy are gaining popularity, especially with handheld spectrometers that enable on-site testing as long as the data quality meets standards. In order to diagnose Staphylococcus epidermidis in human bone grafts, this study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of the Agilent 4300 Handheld Fourier-transform infrared with the Perkin Elmer Spectrum 100 attenuated-total-reflectance infrared spectroscopy benchtop instrument. The study analyzed 40 non-infected and 10 infected human bone samples with Staphylococcus epidermidis, collecting reflectance data between 650 cm-1 and 4000 cm-1, with a spectral resolution of 2 cm-1 (Agilent 4300 Handheld) and 0.5 cm-1 (Perkin Elmer Spectrum 100). The acquired spectral information was used for spectral and unsupervised classification, such as a principal component analysis. Both methods yielded significant results when using the recommended settings and data analysis strategies, detecting a loss in bone quality due to the infection. MIR spectroscopy provides a valuable diagnostic tool when there is a tissue shortage and time is of the essence. However, it is essential to conduct further research with larger sample sizes to verify its pros and cons thoroughly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isoniazid is a leading tuberculosis treating medication. Global supply chains provide essential medicines such as isoniazid to resource-limited areas. Ensuring the safety and efficaciousness of these medicines is essential to public health programs. Handheld spectrometers are becoming increasingly approachable in cost and usability. As supply chains expand, quality compliance screening of essential medications is necessary in site-specific locations. Here, a brand-specific qualitative discrimination analysis of isoniazid is approached by collecting data from two handheld spectrometers in two countries with the intent to build a multi-location quality compliance screening method for a brand of isoniazid. METHODS Two handheld spectrometers (900-1700 nm) were used to collect spectra from five manufacturing sources (N = 482) in Durham, North Carolina, USA, and Centurion, South Africa. A qualitative brand differentiation method was established from both locations by applying a Mahalanobis distance thresholding method as a measure of assessing similarity. RESULTS Combining data from both locations resulted in a 100% classification accuracy, at both locations, for brand 'A' and resulted in the four other brands classifying as dissimilar. Bias was found between sensors in terms of resulting Mahalanobis distances, but the classification method proved to be robust enough to accommodate. Several spectral peaks found in isoniazid references appear within the 900-1700 nm range, as well as variation in the excipients per manufacturer. CONCLUSIONS Results show promise for compliance screening isoniazid as well as other tablets in multiple geographic locations using handheld spectrometers.

Abstract
Consumers demand safe and nutritious foods at accessible prices; where issues associated with adulteration, fraud, and provenance have become important aspects to be considered by the modern food industry. There are many analytical techniques and methods available to determine food composition and quality, including food security. Among them, vibrational spectroscopy techniques are at the first line of defence (near and mid infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy). In this study, a portable near infrared (NIR) instrument was evaluated to identify different levels of adulteration between binary mixtures of exotic and traditional meat species. Fresh meat cuts of lamb (Ovis aries), emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), camel (Camelus dromedarius) and beef (Bos taurus) sourced from a commercial abattoir were used to make different binary mixtures (95 % %w/w, 90 % %w/w, 50 % %w/w, 10 % %w/w and 5 % %w/w) and analysed using a portable NIR instrument. The NIR spectra of the meat mixtures was analysed using principal component analysis (PCA), and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Two isosbestic points corresponding to absorbances at 1028 nm and 1224 nm were found to be consistent across all the binary mixtures analysed. The coefficient of determination in cross validation (R2) obtained for the determination of the per cent of species in a binary mixture was above 90 % with a standard error in cross validation (SECV) ranging between 12.6 and 15 %w/w. Overall, the results of this study indicate that NIR spectroscopy can determine the level or ratio of adulteration in the binary mixtures of minced meat.

Abstract
Handheld Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers are very promising candidates for several applications where accurate real-time material detection and quantification are needed. Due to their compact size, their mode of operation which does not allow for long warm-up time, and changing environmental conditions, these spectrometers suffer from short-term noise and long-term instabilities which affect their performance. In this work, the effect of long-term multiplicative instabilities on the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), measured using the 100% line-method, is studied. An expression for the variance, in this case, is deduced. The Allan variance technique is used to identify and quantify the presence of the different types of noises. The methodology is applied to a commercial NeoSpectra scanner module from Si-Ware Systems, Inc.

Spectroscopic methods deliver a valuable non-destructive analytical tool that provides simultaneous qualitative and quantitative characterization of various samples. Apples belong to the world's most consumed crops and with the current challenges of climate change and human impacts on the environment, maintaining high-quality apple production has become critical. This review comprehensively analyzes the application of spectroscopy in near-infrared (NIR) and visible (Vis) regions, which not only show particular potential in evaluating the quality parameters of apples but also in optimizing their production and supply routines. This includes the assessment of the external and internal characteristics such as color, size, shape, surface defects, soluble solids content (SSC), total titratable acidity (TA), firmness, starch pattern index (SPI), total dry matter concentration (DM), and nutritional value. The review also summarizes various techniques and approaches used in Vis/NIR studies of apples, such as authenticity, origin, identification, adulteration, and quality control. Optical sensors and associated methods offer a wide suite of solutions readily addressing the main needs of the industry in practical routines as well, e.g., efficient sorting and grading of apples based on sweetness and other quality parameters, facilitating quality control throughout the production and supply chain. This review also evaluates ongoing development trends in the application of handheld and portable instruments operating in the Vis/NIR and NIR spectral regions for apple quality control. The use of these technologies can enhance apple crop quality, maintain competitiveness, and meet the demands of consumers, making them a crucial topic in the apple industry. The focal point of this review is placed on the literature published in the last five years, with the exceptions of seminal works that have played a critical role in shaping the field or representative studies that highlight the progress made in specific areas.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 298:122807. [PMID: 37148660 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
The fermented and dried cocoa beans are peeled, either before or after the roasting process, as peeled nibs are used for chocolate production, and shell content in cocoa powders may result from economically motivated adulteration (EMA), cross-contamination or misfits in equipment in the peeling process. The performance of this process is carefully evaluated, as values above 5% (w/w) of cocoa shell can directly affect the sensory quality of cocoa products. In this study chemometric methods were applied to near-infrared (NIR) spectra from a handheld (900-1700 nm) and a benchtop (400-1700 nm) spectrometers to predict cocoa shell content in cocoa powders. A total of 132 binary mixtures of cocoa powders with cocoa shell were prepared at several proportions (0 to 10% w/w). Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was used to develop the calibration models and different spectral preprocessing were investigated to improve the predictive performance of the models. The ensemble Monte Carlo variable selection (EMCVS) method was used to select the most informative spectral variables. Based on the results obtained with both benchtop (R2P = 0.939, RMSEP = 0.687% and RPDP = 4.14) and handheld (R2P = 0.876, RMSEP = 1.04% and RPDP = 2.82) spectrometers, NIR spectroscopy combined with the EMCVS method proved to be a highly accurate and reliable tool for predicting cocoa shell in cocoa powder. Even with a lower predictive performance than the benchtop spectrometer, the handheld spectrometer has potential to specify whether the amount of cocoa shell present in cocoa powders is in accordance with the Codex Alimentarius specifications.

Rapid and On-Scene Chemical Identification of Intact Explosives with Portable Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Multivariate Data Analysis. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:3804.

Abstract
There is an ongoing forensic and security need for rapid, on-scene, easy-to-use, non-invasive chemical identification of intact energetic materials at pre-explosion crime scenes. Recent technological advances in instrument miniaturization, wireless transfer and cloud storage of digital data, and multivariate data analysis have created new and very promising options for the use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in forensic science. This study shows that in addition to drugs of abuse, portable NIR spectroscopy with multivariate data analysis also offers excellent opportunities to identify intact energetic materials and mixtures. NIR is able to characterize a broad range of chemicals of interest in forensic explosive investigations, covering both organic and inorganic compounds. NIR characterization of actual forensic casework samples convincingly shows that this technique can handle the chemical diversity encountered in forensic explosive investigations. The detailed chemical information contained in the 1350-2550 nm NIR reflectance spectrum allows for correct compound identification within a given class of energetic materials, including nitro-aromatics, nitro-amines, nitrate esters, and peroxides. In addition, the detailed characterization of mixtures of energetic materials, such as plastic formulations containing PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) and RDX (trinitro triazinane), is feasible. The results presented illustrate that the NIR spectra of energetic compounds and mixtures are sufficiently selective to prevent false-positive results for a broad range of food-related products, household chemicals, raw materials used for the production of home-made explosives, drugs of abuse, and products that are sometimes used to create hoax improvised explosive devices. However, for frequently encountered pyrotechnic mixtures, such as black powder, flash powder, and smokeless powder, and some basic inorganic raw materials, the application of NIR spectroscopy remains challenging. Another challenge is presented by casework samples of contaminated, aged, and degraded energetic materials or poor-quality HMEs (home-made explosives), for which the spectral signature deviates significantly from the reference spectra, potentially leading to false-negative outcomes.

Abstract
A methodology such as near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which enables in situ and in real-time analysis, is crucial to perform quality control of biodiesel, since it is blended into diesel fuel and the presence of contaminants can hinder its performance. This work aimed to compare the performance of a benchtop Fourier Transform (FT) NIR spectrometer with a prototype of a portable, miniaturized near-infrared spectrometer (miniNIR) to detect and quantify contaminants in biodiesel and biodiesel in diesel. In general, good models based on principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) of FT-NIR spectra were obtained, predicting with high accuracies biodiesel contaminants and biodiesel in diesel (between 75% to 95%), as well as good partial least square (PLS) regression models to predict contaminants concentration in biodiesel and biodiesel concentration in diesel/biodiesel blends, with high coefficients of determination (between 0.83 and 0.99) and low prediction errors. The miniNIR prototype’s PCA-LDA models enabled the prediction of target contaminants with good accuracies (between 66% and 86%), and a PLS model enabled the prediction of biodiesel concentration in diesel with a reasonable coefficient of determination (0.68), pointing to the device’s potential for preliminary analysis of biodiesel which, associated with its potential low cost and portability, could increase biodiesel quality control.

Abstract
In the last twenty years, the application of microreactors in chemical and biochemical industrial processes has increased significantly. The use of microreactor systems ensures efficient process intensification due to the excellent heat and mass transfer within the microchannels. Monitoring the concentrations in the microchannels is critical for a better understanding of the physical and chemical processes occurring in micromixers and microreactors. Therefore, there is a growing interest in performing in-line and on-line analyses of chemical and/or biochemical processes. This creates tremendous opportunities for the incorporation of spectroscopic detection techniques into production and processing lines in various industries. In this work, an overview of current applications of ultraviolet–visible, infrared, Raman spectroscopy, NMR, MALDI-TOF-MS, and ESI-MS for monitoring (bio)catalytic processes in continuously operated microreactor systems is presented. The manuscript includes a description of the advantages and disadvantages of the analytical methods listed, with particular emphasis on the chemometric methods used for spectroscopic data analysis.

Abstract
Calorific value is an important indicator to evaluate the comprehensive quality of coal, and its real-time and rapid analysis is of great significance for optimizing the coal blending process and improving boiler combustion efficiency. Traditional assays are time-consuming, and prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) have certain limitations. In this paper, a novel technique for ultra-repeatability measurement of coal calorific value by combining near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is proposed. In this NIRS-XRF technology, the former can stably measure organic components such as C-H and N-H that are positively correlated with the calorific value, while the latter can stably measure inorganic elements such as Na, Al, Si, Ca, Fe, and Mn that are negatively correlated with the calorific value. The combination of the two can greatly improve the measurement repeatability of coal calorific value. In the quantitative analysis algorithm, a holistic-segmented prediction model based on partial least squares (PLS) is proposed, that is, the holistic model is used to roughly predict the calorific value and determine the segment accordingly, and then the corresponding segmented model is used to accurately predict the calorific value. The experimental results show that the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), the average relative error (ARE), and the standard deviation (SD) of this method for predicting the calorific value of coal are 0.71 MJ kg-1, 1.18% and 0.07 MJ kg-1 respectively. The measurement repeatability meets the requirements of the Chinese national standard. This calorific value measurement technology based on NIRS-XRF is safe, fast, and stable, providing a new way to optimize and control the utilization process of coal in coal washing plants, power plants, coking, and other industries.

Abstract
Robusta Amazônico is the name given to the Amazonian coffee that has been becoming popular and has recently been registered as a geographical indication in Brazil. It is produced by indigenous and non-indigenous coffee producers in regions that are geographically very close to one another. There is a need to authenticate whether coffee is truly produced by indigenous people and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is an excellent technique for this. To meet the substantial trend towards NIR spectroscopy miniaturization, this work compared benchtop and portable NIR instruments to discriminate Robusta Amazônico samples using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). To ensure the results to be fairly comparable and, at the same time, to guarantee representative selection of both training and test set for the discriminant analysis, a sample selection strategy based on coupling ComDim multi-block analysis and the duplex algorithm was applied. Different pre-processing techniques were tested to create multiple matrices to be used in ComDim, as well as to build the discriminant models. The best PLS-DA model for benchtop NIR provided an accuracy of 96% for the test samples, while for the portable NIR the correct classification rate was 92%. It was demonstrated that portable NIR provides similar results to benchtop NIR for coffee origin classification by performing an unbiased sample selection strategy.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes with broadband emission have received considerable interest. However, there remains a challenge in the construction of ultra-broadband NIR phosphors, hindering their further application. In this work, a heterovalent substitution strategy is proposed to construct a novel ultra-broadband NIR-emitting LaTiTaO6:Cr3+ phosphor with a full width at half maximum of ∼300 nm. Crystal structure, time-resolved emission spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance analyses confirm that only one crystallographic site of Cr3+ with separated ions exists. Electron and phonon coupling (EPC) evaluated by the Huang-Rhys factor (S) reveals that the heterovalent substitution strategy contributes to strong EPC with S = 9.185, resulting in ultra-broadband emission. Interestingly, a remarkable blue shift of emission from 1050 to 922 nm with increasing temperature is observed. Moreover, the application of LaTiTaO6:Cr3+ phosphor is demonstrated in the qualitative analysis of ethanol/water mixtures. The work will enrich the toolbox for designing broadband NIR-emitting materials.

Abstract
A Tungsten-Halogen (TH) lamp is the most popular light source in NIR spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, which requires a warm-up to reach very high temperatures of up to 250 °C and take a long time for radiation stabilization. Consequently, it has a large enough volume to enable heat dissipation to prevent the thermal runaway of the electric circuit and turn out its power efficiency very low. These are major barriers for miniaturizing spectral systems and hyperspectral imaging devices. However, TH lamps can be replaced by pc-NIR LEDs in order to avoid high temperature and large volume. We compared the spectral emission of the available commercial pc-NIR LEDs under the same condition. As a replacement for the TH lamp, the VIS + NIR LED module was developed to combine a warm-white LED and pc-NIR LEDs. In order to feature out the availability of the VIS + NIR LED module against the TH lamp, they were used as the light source for evaluating the Soluble Solid Content (SSC) of an apple through VIS-NIR spectroscopy. The results show a remarkable feasibility in the performance of the partial least square (PLS) model using the VIS + NIR LED module; during PLS calibration, the correlation coefficient (R) values are 0.664 and 0.701, and the Mean Square Error (MSE) values are 0.681 and 0.602 for the TH lamp and VIS + NIR LED module, respectively. In VIS-NIR spectroscopy, this study indicates that the TH lamp could be replaceable with a warm-white LED and pc-NIR LEDs.

Abstract
Alongside the increasing proofs of efficacy of miniaturized NIR instruments in food-related scenarios, it is progressively growing the number of end-users, even incentivized by the low-cost of the sensors. While attention is paid to the analytical protocol-from sampling to data collection, up to the data processing, the importance of error investigation in raw data is generally underestimated. Understanding the sources and the structure of uncertainty related to the raw data improves the quality of measurements and suggests the correct planning of the experiments, as well as helps in chemometric model development. The goal of chemometric modeling is to separate information from noise; therefore, a description of the nature of measurement error structure is necessary. Among the different approaches, we present the study of the Error Covariance Matrices (ECMs) and their decomposition in a bilinear structure as a powerful method to study the main sources of variability when using miniaturized NIR sensors in the actual way of use. Granulated and lump sugar samples were chosen as the case study and analyzed with two miniaturized spectrometers working in the NIR regions around 1350-2550 nm and 900-1750 nm, respectively, in dispersive reflectance mode. Results show that having some insights on multivariate measurement errors associated with spectra could be interesting in paving the way for several applications.

A novel fast method for identifying the origin of Maojian using NIR spectroscopy with deep learning algorithms. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21418. [PMID: 36496531 PMCID: PMC9741623 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25671-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Maojian is one of China's traditional famous teas. There are many Maojian-producing areas in China. Because of different producing areas and production processes, different Maojian have different market prices. Many merchants will mix Maojian in different regions for profit, seriously disrupting the healthy tea market. Due to the similar appearance of Maojian produced in different regions, it is impossible to make a quick and objective distinction. It often requires experienced experts to identify them through multiple steps. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a rapid and accurate method to identify different regions of Maojian to promote the standardization of the Maojian market and the development of detection technology. In this study, we propose a new method based on Near infra-red (NIR) with deep learning algorithms to distinguish different origins of Maojian. In this experiment, the NIR spectral data of Maojian from different origins are combined with the back propagation neural network (BPNN), improved AlexNet, and improved RepSet models for classification. Among them, improved RepSet has the highest accuracy of 99.30%, which is 8.67% and 0.70% higher than BPNN and improved AlexNet, respectively. The overall results show that it is feasible to use NIR and deep learning methods to quickly and accurately identify Maojian from different origins and prove an effective alternative method to discriminate different origins of Maojian.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates a method to significantly enhance the detection efficiency of filter-based spectral sensors without the use of additional dichroic optics for spectral preselection. The fundamental principle is that light reflected from one interference filter or filter segment can be used consecutively, reducing the overall system losses. The proof-of-concept is presented using two compact optical modules. The first module uses 10 individual filters between 520 and 800 nm, and the second is capable of continuous spectrum acquisition between 450 and 825 nm using a linear variable filter (LVF) as a key element. An efficiency increase factor of up to approximately 100 compared to a common system, where the entire LVF is directly illuminated, was demonstrated.

Abstract
Insects have been a food source for humans for millennia, and they are actively consumed in various parts of the world. This paper aims to ascertain the feasibility of portable near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as a reliable and fast candidate for the classification of insect powder samples and the prediction of their major components. Commercially-available insect powder samples were analyzed using two miniaturized NIR instruments. The samples were analyzed as they are and after grinding, to study the effect of the granulometry on the spectroscopic analyses. A homemade sample holder was designed and optimized for making reliable spectroscopic measurements. Classification was then performed using three classification strategies, and partial least squares (PLS) regression was used to predict the macronutrients. The results obtained confirmed that both spectroscopic sensors were able to classify insect powder samples and predict macronutrients with an adequate detection limit.
