Implementing multiblock techniques in a full-scale plant scenario: On-line prediction of quality parameters in a continuous process for different acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) products. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1316:342851. [PMID: 38969408 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342851] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study explores the challenges of handling multiblock data of different natures (process and NIR sensors) for on-line quality prediction in a full-scale plant scenario, namely a plant operating in continuous on an industrial scale and producing different grade Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) products. This environment is an ideal scenario to evaluate the use of multiblock data analysis methods, which can enhance data interpretation, visualization, and predictive performances. In particular, a novel multiblock extension of Locally Weighted PLS has been proposed by the authors, namely Locally Weighted Multiblock Partial Least Squares (LW-MB-PLS). Response-Oriented Sequential Alternation (ROSA) has also been employed to evaluate the diverse block relevance for the prediction of two quality parameters associated with the polymer. Data are split in blocks both according to sensor type and different plant sections, and different models have been built by incremental addition of data blocks to evaluate if early estimation of product quality is feasible. RESULTS ROSA method showed promising predictive performance for both quality parameters, highlighting the most influential plant sections through the selection of data blocks. The results suggested that both early and late-stage sensors play crucial roles in predicting product quality. A reasonable estimation of quality parameters before production completion has been achieved. On the other hand, the proposed LW-MB-PLS, while comparable in predictive performances, allowed reducing systematic prediction errors for specific products. SIGNIFICANCE This study contributes valuable insights for continuous production processes, aiding plant operators and paving the way for advancements in online quality prediction and control. Furthermore, it is implemented as a locally weighted extension of MB-PLS.

A critical assessment of near infrared versus hyperspectral near infrared in the study of heterogeneous samples. Curr Res Food Sci 2024; 9:100813. [PMID: 39149525 PMCID: PMC11325669 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIR), in combination with Chemometrics, has been used for many years in diverse scenarios, mostly focused on the classification and quantitation of properties in food, pharmaceutical preparations, artwork material, etc. This success has been possible due to their desirable properties: fast, reliable (under certain conditions), non-destructive, easy to implement from a hardware perspective, and able to create robust and transferable multivariate models. For some years now, another modality has been gaining the attention of NIR users, especially in the Food sector. That is the plausibility of using NIR in the hyperspectral (HSI) domain. This adds to the previously mentioned abilities, the benefit of scanning the whole surface of samples, acquiring much richer spatial information and, therefore, assuring the quality of the final product more accurately by including parameters that depend on the surface distribution of certain components. This is especially relevant in heterogeneous samples. While this statement is generally true, there are certain situations where this oversampling feature is not strictly needed, and the problem can be easily solved with a classical NIR spectrophotometer. Besides, NIR-hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI), despite the abovementioned advantages, has several drawbacks that must be highlighted as well, like their measuring speed, instability, or price. This manuscript will demonstrate that for certain situations, tuning the focal distance of a NIR spectrophotometer is a more feasible, reliable, and inexpensive strategy to collect all the needed information of samples with a certain degree of heterogeneity.

Portable near-infrared and Raman spectroscopic devices as complementary tools for instantaneous quality control of turmeric powder. PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS : PCA 2023.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Process analytical technology (PAT) guidance is implemented in the quality assurance of phytocompounds to achieve the Industry 4.0 concept. Near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopies are feasible for rapid, reliable quantitative analysis through transparent packaging without removing the samples from their original containers. These instruments can serve PAT guidance. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop online portable NIR and Raman spectroscopic methods for quantifying total curcuminoids in turmeric samples through a plastic bag. The method mimicked an in-line measurement mode in PAT compared with placing samples into a glass vessel (at-line mode). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-three curcuminoid standard-spiked samples were prepared. Then, 15 samples were randomly selected as fixed validation samples, and 40 of the 48 remaining samples were chosen as calibration set. The results obtained from the partial least square regression (PLSR) models constructed by using the spectra acquired from NIR and Raman were compared with the reference values from high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS The optimum PLSR model of at-line Raman was achieved with three latent variables and a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.46. Meanwhile, the PLSR model of at-line NIR with one latent variable offered an RMSEP of 0.43. For the in-line mode, PLSR models created from Raman and NIR spectra had one latent variable with RMSEP of 0.49 and 0.42, respectively. The R2 values for prediction were 0.88-0.92. CONCLUSION The models established from the spectra from portable NIR and Raman spectroscopic devices with the appropriate spectral pretreatments allowed the determination of total curcuminoid contents through plastic bag.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12081679. [PMID: 37107474 PMCID: PMC10137520 DOI: 10.3390/foods12081679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The food industry needs tools to improve the efficiency of their production processes by minimizing waste, detecting timely potential process issues, as well as reducing the efforts and workforce devoted to laboratory analysis while, at the same time, maintaining high-quality standards of products. This can be achieved by developing on-line monitoring systems and models. The present work presents a feasibility study toward establishing the on-line monitoring of a pesto sauce production process by means of NIR spectroscopy and chemometric tools. The spectra of an intermediate product were acquired on-line and continuously by a NIR probe installed directly on the process line. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used both to perform an exploratory data analysis and to build Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC) charts. Moreover, Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression was employed to compute real time prediction models for two different pesto quality parameters, namely, consistency and total lipids content. PCA highlighted some differences related to the origin of basil plants, the main pesto ingredient, such as plant age and supplier. MSPC charts were able to detect production stops/restarts. Finally, it was possible to obtain a rough estimation of the quality of some properties in the early production stage through PLS.

Abstract
Increasing consumer awareness, scale of manufacture, and demand to ensure safety, quality and sustainability have accelerated the need for rapid, reliable, and accurate analytical techniques for food products. Spectroscopy, coupled with Artificial Intelligence-enabled sensors and chemometric techniques, has led to the fusion of data sources for dairy analytical applications. This article provides an overview of the current spectroscopic technologies used in the dairy industry, with an introduction to data fusion and the associated methodologies used in spectroscopy-based data fusion. The relevance of data fusion in the dairy industry is considered, focusing on its potential to improve predictions for processing traits by chemometric techniques, such as principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares regression (PLS), and other machine learning algorithms.
