Novel Developments and Progress in Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy (2D-COS)

This first of the two-part series of the comprehensive survey review on the progress of the two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) field during the period 2021-2022, covers books, reviews, tutorials, novel concepts and theories, and patent applications that appeared in the last two years, as well as some inappropriate use or citations of 2D-COS. The overall trend clearly shows that 2D-COS is continually growing and evolving with notable new developments. The technique is well recognized as a powerful analytical tool that provides deep insights into systems in many science fields.

Diverse Applications of Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy (2D-COS)

This second of the two-part series of a comprehensive survey review provides the diverse applications of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) covering different probes, perturbations, and systems in the last two years. Infrared spectroscopy has maintained its top popularity in 2D-COS over the past two years. Fluorescence spectroscopy is the second most frequently used analytical method, which has been heavily applied to the analysis of heavy metal binding, environmental, and solution systems. Various other analytical methods including laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, capillary electrophoresis, seismologic, and so on, have also been reported. In the last two years, concentration, composition, and pH are the main effects of perturbation used in the 2D-COS fields, as well as temperature. Environmental science is especially heavily studied using 2D-COS. This comprehensive survey review shows that 2D-COS undergoes continuous evolution and growth, marked by novel developments and successful applications across diverse scientific fields.

Rapid and Accurate Authentication of Porcini Mushroom Species Using Fourier Transform Near-Infrared Spectra Combined with Machine Learning and Chemometrics

Porcini mushrooms have high nutritional value and great potential, but different species are easily confused, so it is essential to identify them rapidly and precisely. The diversity of nutrients in stipe and cap will lead to differences in spectral information. In this research, Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectral information about imparity species of porcini mushroom stipe and cap was collected and combined into four data matrices. FT-NIR spectra of four data sets were combined with chemometric methods and machine learning for accurate evaluation and identification of different porcini mushroom species. From the results: (1) improved visualization level of t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) results after the second derivative preprocessing compared with raw spectra; (2) after using multiple pretreatment combinations to process the four data matrices, the model accuracies based on support vector machine and partial least-square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) under the best preprocessing method were 98.73-99.04% and 98.73-99.68%, respectively; (3) by comparing the modeling results of FT-NIR spectra with different data matrices, it was found that the PLS-DA model based on low-level data fusion has the highest accuracy (99.68%), but residual neural network (ResNet) model based on the stipe, cap, and average spectral data matrix worked better (100% accuracy). The above results suggest that distinct models should be selected for dissimilar spectral data matrices of porcini mushrooms. Additionally, FT-NIR spectra have the advantages of being nondevastate and fast; this method is expected to be a promising analytical tool in food safety control.
