RESUMO

The performance of visible-near infrared hyperspectral imaging (Vis-NIR-HSI) (400-1000 nm) and shortwave infrared hyperspectral imaging (SWIR-HSI) (1116-1670 nm) combined with different classification and regression (linear and non-linear) multivariate methods were assessed for meat authentication. In Vis-NIR-HSI, total accuracies in the prediction set for SVM and ANN-BPN (the best classification models) were 96 and 94 % surpassing the performance of SWIR-HSI with 88 and 89 % accuracy, respectively. In Vis-NIR-HSI, the best-obtained coefficient of determinations for the prediction set (R2p) were 0.99, 0.88, and 0.99 with root mean square error in prediction (RMSEP) of 9, 24 and 4 (%w/w) for pork in beef, pork in lamb and pork in chicken, respectively. In SWIR-HSI, the best-obtained R2p were 0.86, 0.77, and 0.89 with RMSEP of 16, 23 and 15 (%w/w) for pork in beef, pork in lamb and pork in chicken, respectively. The results ascertain that Vis-NIR-HSI coupled with multivariate data analysis has better performance rather than SWIR-HIS.

RESUMO

"True cinnamon" is often fraudulently replaced by other varieties for economic reasons. In the powdered form, it is not possible to distinguish the varieties visually, but they differ in their sensory profile, in particular in the aromatic compound coumarin content which has also been deemed hepatotoxic in animal models. Molecular and analytical techniques exist which can be used for authentication but are expensive, time-consuming, and destructive. As an alternative, we tested three different miniaturized spectroscopic techniques namely, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), near-infrared (NIR) and fluorescence (FLUO) to authenticate cinnamon samples. Out of the three, UV-Vis and NIR were superior to FLUO. The separation with UV-Vis and FLUO could be visually identified after pre-processing the spectral data and subsequently submitting it to principal component analysis (PCA). When chemometrics were applied a correct classification rate by variety of 89%, 90% and 89% for UV-Vis, NIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively, was observed. The usage of miniaturized spectrophotometers combined with PCA and classification algorithms was found promising to authenticate cinnamon.

RESUMO

Anthocyanin-rich strawberry model solutions were co-pigmented with rooibos phenolics to enhance color and heat stability. The addition of green and fermented rooibos extracts at pigment-to-co-pigment molar ratios of 1:10, 1:50, and 1:100 pelargonidin-3-glucoside equivalents: orientin equivalents induced hyper- and bathochromic shifts at room temperature and during thermal processing at 80 °C for an hour. Co-pigmentation effects on hyperchromic shift were up to 96%, and bathochromic shift reached 19 nm when adding flavonoid-rich fractions of green rooibos phenolics. Following the co-pigmentation tests with rooibos extracts, selected pure phenolic co-pigments were tested for their monomeric contribution to the observed co-pigmentation effects. Orientin was identified as a potent co-pigment for pelargonidin-3-glucoside, showing stronger co-pigmentation effects than that of its aglycon luteolin. Additionally, orientin had the most pronounced bathochromic shift in heat-treated solutions. Rooibos extracts, particularly flavonoid-rich fractions composed of luteolin, apigenin, and quercetin glycosides, are suggested as color enhancers and stabilizers for strawberry products.

RESUMO

This review summarises miniaturised technologies, commercially available devices, and device applications for food authentication or measurement of features that could potentially be used for authentication. We first focus on the handheld technologies and their generic characteristics: (1) technology types available, (2) their design and mode of operation, and (3) data handling and output systems. Subsequently, applications are reviewed according to commodity type for products of animal and plant origin. The 150 applications of commercial, handheld devices involve a large variety of technologies, such as various types of spectroscopy, imaging, and sensor arrays. The majority of applications, ~60%, aim at food products of plant origin. The technologies are not specifically aimed at certain commodities or product features, and no single technology can be applied for authentication of all commodities. Nevertheless, many useful applications have been developed for many food commodities. However, the use of these applications in practice is still in its infancy. This is largely because for each single application, new spectral databases need to be built and maintained. Therefore, apart from developing applications, a focus on sharing and re-use of data and calibration transfers is pivotal to remove this bottleneck and to increase the implementation of these technologies in practice.

RESUMO

Handheld visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can be cost-effective, rapid, non-destructive and transportable techniques for identifying meat species and may be valuable for enforcement authorities, retail and consumers. In this study, a handheld Vis-NIR (400-1000 nm) and a handheld NIR (900-1700 nm) spectrometer were applied to discriminate halal meat species from pork (halal certification), as well as speciation of intact and ground lamb, beef, chicken and pork (160 meat samples). Several types of class modeling multivariate approaches were applied. The presented one-class classification (OCC) approach, especially with the Vis-NIR sensor (95-100% correct classification rate), was found to be suitable for the application of halal from non-halal meat-species discrimination. In a discriminant approach, using the Vis-NIR data and support vector machine (SVM) classification, the four meat species tested could be classified with accuracies of 93.4% and 94.7% for ground and intact meat, respectively, while with partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), classification accuracies were 87.4% (ground) and 88.6% (intact). Using the NIR sensor, total accuracies of the SVM models were 88.2% and 81.5% for ground and intact meats, respectively, and PLS-DA classification accuracies were 88.3% (ground) and 80% (intact). We conclude that the Vis-NIR sensor was most successful in the halal certification (OCC approaches) and speciation (discriminant approaches) for both intact and ground meat using SVM.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Current developments in portable photonic devices for fast authentication of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or EVOO with non-EVOO additions steer towards hyphenation of different optic technologies. The multiple spectra or so-called "fingerprints" of samples are then analyzed with multivariate statistics. For EVOO authentication, one-class classification (OCC) to identify "out-of-class" EVOO samples in combination with data-fusion is applicable. OBJECTIVE: Prospecting the application of a prototype photonic device ("PhasmaFood") which hyphenates visible, fluorescence, and near-infrared spectroscopy in combination with OCC modelling to classify EVOOs and discriminate them from other edible oils and adulterated EVOOs. METHOD: EVOOs were adulterated by mixing in 10-50% (v/v) of refined and virgin olive oils, olive-pomace olive oils, and other common edible oils. Samples were analyzed by the hyphenated sensor. OCC, data-fusion, and decision thresholds were applied and optimized for two different scenarios. RESULTS: By high-level data-fusion of the classification results from the three spectral databases and several multivariate model vectors, a 100% correct classification of all pure edible oils using OCC in the first scenario was found. Reducing samples being falsely classified as EVOOs in a second scenario, 97% of EVOOs adulterated with non-EVOO olive oils were correctly identified and ones with other edible oils correctly classified at score of 91%. CONCLUSIONS: Photonic sensor hyphenation in combination with high-level data fusion, OCC, and tuned decision thresholds delivers significantly better screening results for EVOO compared to individual sensor results. HIGHLIGHTS: Hyphenated photonics and its data handling solutions applied to extra virgin olive oil authenticity testing was found to be promising.

RESUMO

The aim of the present article was an in-depth characterization of cyanidine-rich red cabbage extracts and the identification of challenges emerging during the purification of their pigments. Two extraction procedures using either hot acidified or temperate water at its genuine pH were compared. LC-MS analyses revealed 20 mostly acylated anthocyanins, five aliphatic glucosinolates, and four indolic glucosinolates as non-volatile constituents. In addition, volatiles were characterized by HS-SPME-GC-MS. Whereas the glycosidic precursors do not impair the sensory properties, their enzymatic degradation products may evoke unpleasant flavors. The crude pigment extract obtained with hot acidified water contained low concentrations of C6 aldehydes, isothiocyanates, nitriles, and sulfides, and was selected for purification experiments. Amberlite XAD 16 HP, polyamide, chitosan, and lignosulfonate were used as adsorbents and flocculants. Particularly, Amberlite and lignosulfonate treatment diminished the content of glucosinolates and volatiles. Interestingly, indolic glucosinolates and acylated anthocyanins showed similar behavior in all purification procedures performed.

RESUMO

Using a simulated digestion procedure in vitro, liberation and bioaccessibility of ß-carotene (29.5±1.7% and 22.6±0.9%, respectively) and lycopene (51.3±2.6% and 33.2±3.1%, respectively) from gac fruit aril were found to be significantly higher than from carrot root (ß-carotene, 5.2±0.5% and 0.5±0.2%, respectively) and tomato fruit (lycopene, 15.9±2.8% and 1.8±0.5%, respectively). Gac fruit aril naturally contained significantly more lipids (11% on fresh weight base) than carrot root and tomato fruit (<1%). However, when test meals were supplemented with an O/W emulsion to match the content of gac fruit aril, carotenoid bioaccessibility was still considerably lower than that from genuine gac fruit aril. Carotenoids in gac fruit aril were found to be stored in small, round-shaped chromoplasts. Despite the high lipid content, these carotenoids are unlikely to occur in a lipid-dissolved state according to simple solubility estimations, instead being possibly deposited as submicroscopic crystallites. In contrast, carotenoids of carrot root and tomato fruit were stored in large, needle-like crystallous chromoplasts. Consequently, we hypothesized the natural deposition form to be majorly responsible for the observed differences in bioaccessibility. A favorable surface-to-volume ratio of the deposition form in gac fruit aril might have allowed a more rapid micellization during digestion, and thus, an enhanced bioaccessibility. Irrespective of the ultimate reason, gac fruit aril provided a highly bioaccessible form of both lycopene and provitamin A (ß-carotene), thus offering a most valuable dietary source of both carotenoids. Currently, gac is majorly grown in Southeast Asia, where its consumption might help to diminish the 'hidden hunger' namely the insufficient supply with vitamin A. Ultimately, gac fruit might thus contribute to alleviating most severe health implications of vitamin A deficiency, such as anaemia and xerophthalmia, the prevailing cause of preventable childhood blindness, as well as mortality from infectious diseases.

RESUMO

Pelargonidin-based colors suffer from notorious instability. A phenolic mango peel extract and defined phenolic fractions thereof were shown to effectively modulate the visible absorption of anthocyanins from strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) and red radish (Raphanus sativus L.) by intermolecular co-pigmentation. Consistently, non-acylated pelargonidin derivatives from strawberry exerted significantly greater hyper- and bathochromic spectral shifts than their acylated counterparts from red radish. The addition of low molecular-weight co-pigments such as gallic acid and monogalloyl glucoses to strawberry anthocyanins led to strong hyperchromic shifts from 30% to 48%, while gallotannins (>six galloyl units) exerted smaller co-pigmentation effects (36±2%; Δλmax 13nm), possibly due to steric hindrances. In contrast, penta- and hexa-O-galloyl-glucose induced greatest and most stable co-pigmentation effects (53±2%; Δλmax 13nm). Irrespective of the underlying mechanisms and the responsible compounds, phenolic mango peel extracts might represent suitable color enhancers for coloring foodstuff, particularly for those containing non-acylated pelargonidin derivatives.

RESUMO

In the present paper, 26 food waste streams were selected according to their exploitation potential and investigated in terms of pectin content. The isolated pectin, subdivided into calcium bound and alkaline extractable pectin, was fully characterized in terms of uronic acid and other sugar composition, methylation and acetylation degree. It was shown that many waste streams can be a valuable source of pectin, but also that pectin structures present a huge structural diversity, resulting in a broad range of pectin structures. These can have different physicochemical and biological properties, which are useful in a wide range of applications. Even if the data could not cover all the possible batch by batch and country variabilities, to date this represents the most complete pectin characterization from food waste streams ever reported in the literature with a homogeneous methodology.

RESUMO

The knowledge of pectin esterification degree is of primary importance to predict gelling and other properties of pectin from different sources. This paper reports the development of a simple and rapid (1)H NMR-based method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of methylation, acetylation, and feruloylation degree of pectin isolated from various food sources. Pectin esters are hydrolyzed in NaOH/D2O, and the obtained methanol, acetic acid, and ferulic acid are directly measured by (1)H NMR. High accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of the method were obtained, and the analysis time is reduced as compared to conventional chromatography- or titration-based methods.
