RESUMO
Given that protein peptide powders (PPPs) from different biological sources were inherited with diverse healthcare functions, which aroused adulteration of PPPs. A high-throughput and rapid methodology, united multi-molecular infrared (MM-IR) spectroscopy with data fusion, could determine the types and component content of PPPs from seven sources as examples. The chemical fingerprints of PPPs were thoroughly interpreted by tri-step infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the defined spectral fingerprint region of protein peptide, total sugar, and fat was 3600-950 cm-1, which constituted MIR finger-print region. Moreover, the mid-level data fusion model was of great applicability in qualitative analysis, in which the F1-score reached 1 and the total accuracy was 100%, and a robust quantitative model was established with excellent predictive capacity (Rp: 0.9935, RMSEP: 1.288, and RPD: 7.97). MM-IR coordinated data fusion strategies to achieve high-throughput, multi-dimensional analysis of PPPs with better accuracy and robustness which meant a significant potential for the comprehensive analysis of other powders in food as well.

Pathological hair loss (also known as alopecia) and shortage of hair follicle (HF) donors have posed an urgent requirement for HF regeneration. With the revelation of mechanisms in tissue engineering, the proliferation of HFs in vitro has achieved more promising trust for the treatments of alopecia and other skin impairments. Theoretically, HF organoids have great potential to develop into native HFs and attachments such as sweat glands after transplantation. However, since the rich extracellular matrix (ECM) deficiency, the induction characteristics of skin-derived cells gradually fade away along with their trichogenic capacity after continuous cell passaging in vitro. Therefore, ECM-mimicking support is an essential prelude before HF transplantation is implemented. This review summarizes the status of providing various epidermal and dermal cells with a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold to support the cell homeostasis and better mimic in vivo environments for the sake of HF regeneration. HF-relevant cells including dermal papilla cells (DPCs), hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to be induced to form HF organoids in the vitro culture system. The niche microenvironment simulated by different forms of biomaterial scaffold can offer the cells a network of ordered growth environment to alleviate inductivity loss and promote the expression of functional proteins. The scaffolds often play the role of ECM substrates and bring about epithelial-mesenchymal interaction (EMI) through coculture to ensure the functional preservation of HF cells during in vitro passage. Functional HF organoids can be formed either before or after transplantation into the dermis layer. Here, we review and emphasize the importance of 3D culture in HF regeneration in vitro. Finally, the latest progress in treatment trials and critical analysis of the properties and benefits of different emerging biomaterials for HF regeneration along with the main challenges and prospects of HF regenerative approaches are discussed.

A robust data fusion strategy integrating Tri-step infrared spectroscopy (IR) with electronic nose (E-nose) was established for rapid qualitative authentication and quantitative evaluation of red wines using Cabernet Sauvignon as an example. The chemical fingerprints of four types of wines were thoroughly interpreted by Tri-step IR, and the defined spectral fingerprint region of alcohol and sugar was 1200-950 cm-1. The wine types were authenticated by IR-based principal component analysis (PCA). Furthermore, ten quantitative models by partial least squares (PLS) were built to evaluate alcohol and total sugar contents. In particular, the model based on the fusion datasets of spectral fingerprint region and E-nose was superior to the others, in which RMSEP reduced by 47.95% (alcohol) and 79.90% (total sugar), rp increased by 11.95% and 43.47%, and RPD >3.0. The developed methodology would be applicable for mass screening and rapid multi-chemical-component quantification of wines in a more comprehensive and efficient manner.

The aim was to unveil the generation and variation rule of the main taste components in braised broth for 10 quantitative repeated braising cycles. The major taste compounds of three groups (MS, broth cooked with meat and spices; M, broth cooked with meat; and S, broth cooked with spices) were systematically analyzed by the state-of-art chromatography and electronic sensory technology. As braising cycles progressed, contents of free 5'-nucleotides and amino acids were increased in MS and M, while those nucleotides were not detected in S. A significant discrimination of taste in MS and M was revealed by electronic tongue evaluation during the process. As the formation rates (FR) of taste compounds and the transformation rates (TR) of taste compounds to volatile compounds were mainly accounting for the generation and variation of flavor in broth, a hypothesis was proposed to illustrate the whole variation of taste compounds in the process integrally that the ratio of FR/TR dividing the process into three stages, Degradation, Balance, and Accumulation. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The traditional braising process and formula are empirical and extensive, which impede the increase in meat products output. Nowadays, the industry of braising products is facing a problem of standardization and quality control, and needs to carry out scientific and quantitative process improvement efficiently. Therefore, the developed comprehensive approach demonstrates great potential for braised meat broth flavor monitoring and quality control in an objective and holistic manner. It provides data support and new ideas of technology development for quality control in the process of meat braising.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in wheat flour induces a number of adverse health effects to consumers and livestock, even at very low concentrations. Direct detection methods for massive screening of DON in wheat flour is still lacking. A new methodology integrating multi-molecular infrared spectroscopy (MM-IR) with two-trace two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2T-2DCOS) was developed for in-situ qualitative and quantitative determination of DON in wheat flour as a whole. Typical spectral variation of wheat flour samples with diverse concentration of DON were stepwise characterized by MM-IR and tiny spectral profile differences resulting from concentration variation of DON were visually disclosed by 2T-2DCOS. Based on the obtained key spectral features of DON, 180 of wheat flour samples with DON higher and lower than 1.00 mg/kg were undoubtedly classified by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with an accuracy rate up to 100% (for Second derivative spectra consisted of selected bands, SD-SS). Furthermore, a robust quantitative prediction model was established based on partial least squares (PLS) of SD-SS (Rc: 0.998, RMSEC: 0.135; Rp: 0.968, RMSEP: 0.421), and its excellent predictive capacity of model was validated by both residual prediction deviation (RPD) value of 3.2 and t-test. It was demonstrated that the developed methodology was applicable for screening and quantitative detection of DON in wheat flour based on the novel correlation analysis methods (SD-2DCOS-IR and 2T-2DCOS-IR) with chemometrics tools, which could be utilized both at laboratory and industrial level for quality control purposes of a large wheat flour sample set.

Fluorescent brighteners, illegally used to whitening wheat flour, are detrimental to people health. The aim was to establish a rapid and direct method to identify and quantify fluorescent whitening agent OB-1 (FWA OB-1) in wheat flour by using multi-molecular infrared (MM-IR) spectroscopy combined with stereomicroscopy. Characteristic peak profile of FWA OB-1 used as a judgment basis was spatially revealed by stereomicroscopy with group-peak matching of MM-IR at 1614 cm-1, 1501 cm-1 and 893 cm-1 and were further unveiled by the second derivative infrared spectroscopy (SD-IR) and its two-dimensional correlation infrared (SD-2DCOS IR) spectroscopy for higher resolution, and were validated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Moreover, a quantitative prediction model based on IR spectra was established by partial least squares 1 (PLS1) (R2, 98.361; SEE, 5.032; SEP, 5.581). The developed method was applicable for rapid and direct analysis of FWA OB-1 (low to 10 ppm) in flour with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 5%. The capabilities of MM-IR with spectral qualitative and quantitative analysis would be applicable to direct identification and quantitation of fluorescent whitening agents or other IR-active compounds in powder objects.

We investigated the effect of temporary rearing in brackish water on the taste quality in meat of crab cooked. The main salinity-responsive factors included 5'-nucleotides and free amino acids (FAAs) in crab meat that were identified using tri-step infrared spectroscopy. Compared to the fresh water group, the contents of 5'-adenosine monophosphate and 5'-inosine monophosphate in the brackish water group significantly increased in the 2nd week and decreased in the 6th week, respectively. The contribution ratio of umami FAAs increased from 8.1 to 13.5% in the 4th week in the brackish water group, showing maximum value of equivalent umami concentration. Moreover, Ca2+ and Cl- contents significantly increased in the 4th and 6th weeks, respectively (P < 0.05). Infrared spectroscopy was an effective method to identify the taste components. With respect to the taste quality, four weeks were determined as the best period for temporary rearing of the crab in brackish water.

The formation and transformation mechanisms of micro-nano particles (MNPs) in broth during meat braising were systematically investigated through a sophisticated controlled process. Dynamic changes in the morphology, composition and spatial distribution of MNPs were comprehensively characterized, and subsequently the mechanisms were visually uncovered from microcosmic-spatial perspectives. MNPs formed as circular-shape colloidal systems with an aggrandizing tendency for particle number and size and gradually stabilize eventually. Specifically, the major MNPs gradually increased the size from <400 nm to ~1500 nm and accumulated triglycerides and glycoconjugates resulting from lipid oxidation, Maillard reaction, etc. Continuous formation of MNPs in broth progressively facilitated the spatial coalescence and self-assembly of free substances driven by intermolecular interactions, and consequently principal nutrients and flavor compounds further accumulated in the MNPs by the braising process. Hence, this work not only revealed the MNP formation and transformation mechanisms but offered a foundation for investigating MNP-dependent effect on broth flavor.

Direct exploration to differences between normal hair (NH) and alopecic hair (AH) at different degeneration stages is still lacking. To reveal compositional and structural variation of AH with reference to NH internally and externally, infrared spectroscopic imaging combined with scanning electron microscopy was applied to investigate integral changes of hair chemical profiles and surface texture structures, and infrared macro-fingerprinting analysis revealed detailed chemical compositions of NH and AH. Results showed that AH had excessive irregular laminated structures compared to NH, leading to a lower weight bearing capacity. Spatial distributions of lipids, phosphates, lipoproteins and phospholipids in hair transverse sections showed that their infrared absorptions were intensified and gradually centralized to medulla with average variable-areas increasing upto 2.3 folds (lipoproteins area changed from 13% in NH to 30% in AH)as the alopecia progressed. Extracted pixel spectra from the chemical images showed different fingerprint characteristics in 1075-1120 cm-1. Specifically, compared to NH, AH showed red shift of phosphate peaks, indicating the occurrence of phosphates transformation. In this study, in-situ visible and infrared chemical imaging directly revealed more irregular laminated scalps with decreasing weight bearing capacity and increasing distributive areas expanding to medulla of key components (phosphates, phospholipids, etc.) that were relevant to alopecia development from NH to AH, and offered a fast, eco-friendly and effective method for hair research.

Mid-infrared (MIR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics were explored to classify Cabernet Sauvignon wines from different countries (Australia, Chile and China). Commercial wines (n = 540) were scanned in transmission mode using MIR and NIR, and their characteristic fingerprint bands were extracted at 1750-1000 cm-1 and 4555-4353 cm-1. Through the identification system of Tri-step infrared spectroscopy, the correlation between macroscopic chemical fingerprints and geographical regions was explored more deeply. Furthermore, Principal component analysis (PCA), soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA) and discriminant analysis (DA) based on MIR and NIR spectra were used to visualize or discriminate differences between samples and to realize geographical origin traceability of Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Through "external test set (n = 157)" validation, SIMCA models correctly classified 97%, 97% and 92% of Australian, Chilean and Chinese Cabernet Sauvignon wines, while the DA models correctly classified 86%, 85% and 77%, respectively. Based on unique digital fingerprints of spectroscopy (FT-MIR and FT-NIR) associated with chemometrics, geographical origin traceability was achieved in a more comprehensive, effective and rapid manner. The developed database models based on IR fingerprint spectroscopy with chemometrics could provide scientific basis and reference for geographical origin traceability of Cabernet Sauvignon wines (Australia, Chile and China).
RESUMO
Surimi products have become increasingly-consumed food with prominent characteristics of high nutrition and convenience and its supply falls short of demand. However, due to exhausted fishery resource in recent years, surimi adulteration, such as addition of plant proteins, starch and other animal origin meat, is becoming serious, so recognition of these exogenous substances has become an urgent issue. In this study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) combined with infrared spectroscopic imaging could distinguish heterogeneity in surimi qualitatively and quantitatively and obtain integral chemical images so that spatial distribution of each component in surimi could be visually displayed, thus a rapid recognition method and a prediction model were developed. The different starch contents in surimi had been primarily identified through intensity change of infrared absorption peaks at 1045cm-1 and 988cm-1, specifically with peak shifts to 1041cm-1 and to 992cm-1, respectively. In infrared imaging analysis, principal components (PCs) were separated and one key PC was confirmed as starch by characteristic peaks comparison at 1147cm-1, 1075cm-1, 997cm-1 and 930cm-1. Meanwhile, an established statistic model could predict starch content in surimi correctly with a reliable correlation coefficient (R=0.9856) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP=5.64). Therefore, FT-IR combined with infrared spectroscopic imaging could be applicable to integrally recognize and quantitatively detect starch in surimi.

YIV-906 (PHY906), a four-herb Chinese medicine formulation, is inspired by an 1800 year-old Chinese formulation called Huang Qin Tang which is traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. In animal studies, it could enhance anti-tumor activity of different classes of anticancer agents and promote faster recovery of the damaged intestines following irinotecan or radiation treatment. Several clinical studies have shown that YIV-906 had the potential to increase the therapeutic index of cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiation) by prolonging life and improving patient quality of life. Results of animal studies demonstrated five clinical batches of YIV-906 had very similar in vivo activities (protection of body weight loss induced by CPT11 and enhancement of anti-tumor activity of CPT11) while four batches of commercial-made Huang Qin Tang, HQT had no or lower in vivo activities. Two quality control platforms were used to correlate the biological activity between YIV906 and HQT. Chemical profiles (using analysis of 77 peaks intensities) obtained from LC-MS could not be used to differentiate YIV-906 from commercial Huang Qin Tang. A mechanism based quality control (MBQC) platform, comprising 18 luciferase reporter cell lines and two enzymatic assays based on the mechanism action of YIV-906, could be used to differentiate YIV-906 from commercial Huang Qin Tang. Results of MBQC could be matched to their in vivo activities on irinotecan. In conclusion, the quality control of an herbal product should be dependent on its pharmacological usage. For its specific usage appropriate biological assays based on its mechanism action should be developed for QC. Chemical fingerprints comparison approach has limitations unless irrelevant chemicals have been filtered out. Additionally, using a similarity index is only useful when relevant information is used. A MBQC platform should also be applied on other herbal products.
RESUMO
Surimi is an intermediate product with an increasing popularity worldwide. Discrimination of impurities like fish bones in surimi has become an urgent issue owing to the food safety and the improved requirements for assessment methods in identification of surimi quality and grades. A Tri-step infrared spectroscopy, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), second derivative infrared spectroscopy (SD-IR) and two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2DCOS-IR) has been applied to integrally discriminate different contents (1%-8%) of fish bones in surimi at macro-scale. Meanwhile, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) microspectroscopic imaging has been employed to recognize and identify the location of fish bones (less than 1.0â¯mm in size) in micro-scale. Fishbone characteristic infrared absorption peak at 1011â¯cm-1 contributes to surimi peaks at 1045â¯cm-1 and 988â¯cm-1 confirmed by calculation of their peak heights and ratios of peak areas in original spectra. SD-IR spectra enhance the difference in range of 1440-500â¯cm-1, and specifically peak intensity at 599â¯cm-1 is significantly increased in surimi with 3%-8% fish bones. Moreover, 2DCOS-IR spectra reveal that surimi containing fish bones have increased intensity of auto-peaks at 525â¯cm-1, 519â¯cm-1, 512â¯cm-1 and 505â¯cm-1 mainly contributed by hydroxyapatite and collagen. In ATR-IR microspectroscopic images, a clear fishbone shape (800â¯×â¯200⯵m) corresponding to its visible image is clearly observed in principal component (PC) score image, which is confirmed as a fish bone by corresponding pixel spectra. Furthermore, the single-wavenumber image shows the spatial chemical distribution of various components for both the fish bone and surimi. Consequently, fish bones can be integrally recognized by physical and chemical imaging manners. It has been demonstrated that the developed Tri-step infrared spectroscopy and ATR-IR microspectroscopic imaging could be applicable for rapidly recognizing impurities and adulterants in surimi.

A developed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was employed to investigate changes of protein conformation, which played significant roles in maintaining stable protein networks of white croaker surimi gel, exploring the relationship between protein conformation and surimi gel networks. Spectra of surimi and gels with different grades (A, AA, FA and SA) were analyzed by tri-step FT-IR method and peak-fitting of deconvolved and baseline corrected amide I bands (1600~1700 cm-1). The result showed that α-helix was the main conformation of surimi proteins. During surimi gelation, α-helix of myosin partially transformed into ß-sheet, ß-turn and random coil structures. ß-sheet and random coil structures were the main protein conformations maintaining the structure of surimi gel, of which ß-sheet made the main contribution to gel strength. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) result revealed that surimi gels had a fibrous and homogeneous network structure. Moreover, ordered interconnections between three-dimensional proteins networks of gels were inclined to emerge in higher grade surimi, in agreement with the gel strength results. It was demonstrated that the tri-step FT-IR spectroscopy combined with peak-fitting could be applicable for exploration of surimi protein conformation changes during gelation to deepen understanding of its effect on gel quality.

Formaldehyde abuse for retaining squid freshness is detrimental to public health. The aim is to establish a rapid and quantitative detection method of formaldehyde in squid for screening massive samples. A linear relationship between formaldehyde concentration in squid and formaldehyde concentration in squid soaked water was observed using HPLC. Chemical profile variances of squids were rapidly analyzed by Tri-step infrared spectroscopy. Specifically, with increasing formaldehyde concentration, peak intensities of 2927cm-1 (vas(CH2)), 1081cm-1 (glycogen), 1631cm-1 (ß-sheet proteins) decreased while 1655cm-1 (α-helix proteins) increased. Spectral curve-fitting results further disclosed that ß-sheet proteins were transformed to α-helix and ß-turn conformations. Furthermore, a quantitative prediction model based on IR spectra was established by PLS (R2, 0.9787; RMSEC, 5.51). The developed method was applicable for rapid (c.a. 5min) and quantitative analysis of formaldehyde in squids with LOD of 15mg/kg.

BPO is often added to wheat flour as flour improver, but its excessive use and edibility are receiving increasing concern. A multi-step IR macro-fingerprinting was employed to identify BPO in wheat flour and unveil its changes during storage. BPO contained in wheat flour (<3.0 mg/kg) was difficult to be identified by infrared spectra with correlation coefficients between wheat flour and wheat flour samples contained BPO all close to 0.98. By applying second derivative spectroscopy, obvious differences among wheat flour and wheat flour contained BPO before and after storage in the range of 1500-1400 cm(-1) were disclosed. The peak of 1450 cm(-1) which belonged to BPO was blue shifted to 1453 cm(-1) (1455) which belonged to benzoic acid after one week of storage, indicating that BPO changed into benzoic acid after storage. Moreover, when using two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2DCOS-IR) to track changes of BPO in wheat flour (0.05 mg/g) within one week, intensities of auto-peaks at 1781 cm(-1) and 669 cm(-1) which belonged to BPO and benzoic acid, respectively, were changing inversely, indicating that BPO was decomposed into benzoic acid. Moreover, another autopeak at 1767 cm(-1) which does not belong to benzoic acid was also rising simultaneously. By heating perturbation treatment of BPO in wheat flour based on 2DCOS-IR and spectral subtraction analysis, it was found that BPO in wheat flour not only decomposed into benzoic acid and benzoate, but also produced other deleterious substances, e.g., benzene. This study offers a promising method with minimum pretreatment and time-saving to identify BPO in wheat flour and its chemical products during storage in a holistic manner.

A Tri-step infrared spectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) integrated with second derivative infrared (SD-IR) spectroscopy and two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2DCOS-IR)) combined with Principal Component Regression (PCR) were employed to characterize and discriminate three marine fish surimi (white croaker surimi (WCS), hairtail surimi (HS) and red coat surimi (RCS)). The three surimi had similar IR macro-fingerprints (similarity>0.7) especially for the absorption bands of amide groups. Compared to the other two surimi, however, RCS had a middle strong characteristic peak of lipids at 1745 cm(-1), indicating that RCS had the highest content of lipids. SD-IR spectra of the three surimi enhanced the spectral resolution and amplified the small differences, especially at about 1682 cm(-1), 1679 cm(-1), 1656 cm(-1) and 1631 cm(-1), suggesting that the three had different profiles of proteins. Moreover, evident differences were observed in 2DCOS-IR spectra of 1500-1800 cm(-1). WCS had one strong (1620 cm(-1)) and three weak auto-peaks (1520 cm(-1), 1552 cm(-1), 1706 cm(-1)). HS had three strong (1621 cm(-1), 1648 cm(-1), 1708 cm(-1)) and two weak auto-peaks (1523 cm(-1), 1553 cm(-1)), whereas RCS had one strong (1623 cm(-1)) and three weak auto-peaks (1525 cm(-1), 1709 cm(-1), 1738 cm(-1)). Furthermore, sixty batches of surimi (twenty for each surimi) were objectively classified by PCR. It was demonstrated that the Tri-step infrared spectroscopy combined with PCR could be applicable for discrimination of precious marine fish surimi in a direct, rapid and holistic manner.

Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) integrated with two dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2DCOS IR) was employed to rapidly discriminate Dendrobium loddigesii Rolfes (DR) from different regions and harvesting periods. The results showed that the IR peaks around 1 035, 1 051, 1 078, 1 156, 1 500, 1 511 and 1 736 cm-1had perceptible differences among DRs from different regions, indicating that different DRs containing remarkable different compositions and contents of polysaccharides, ketones and esters. 2DCOS IR spectra of DRs from Vietnam, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou each had seven, eight, eight, nine auto peaks, respectively; furthermore, DRs from Guagnxi had the strongest peak in 1 220 cm-1, which was distinguish to those of other DRs (980 cm -1). In the IR spectra of DRs from different harvest seasons, the wave number of key peaks in (1 034 approximately1 023)cm- 1, the wave number of minor peaks in (1 6174)cm-1, as well as the presence of peaks in 1 078(1 076, 1 079)cm-1, showed obvious periodic changes with the seasons, which indicated the accumulation of polysaccharides and ketones from DRs displayed an evident periodic variability discipline. The application of FTIR in DRs could facilitate acquiring their growth conditions, composition and content changes, which would be significant in rational exploitations and utilizations of DR

Given that harvesting time has a great impact on the quality of herbal medicine, knowing the ontogenesis in the chemical profile aspect is essential to determine the optimal harvesting season. A high-throughput and versatile approach (herbal infrared macro-fingerprinting) harmonizing with the character of herbal medicine and providing the whole chemical profile (entirety), group analogues (part), and single compounds (major components) is developed to rapidly disclose the variation rule of the full chemical profile of herbal medicine over a growing season without extraction pretreatments, and thus to determine the optimal harvesting period in respect to groups of chemical compounds using Scutellaria baicalensis as a demonstration. IR macro-fingerprints of Scutellaria baicalensis harvested in the same period have a high similarity (> 0.91) despite small variations, suggesting that IR macro-fingerprinting can faithfully reflect the spectacle of "disordered order" in nature. From Year-1 spring to Year-3 autumn, general contents (%, w/w) of total flavonoids fluctuate up and down with a maximum value in Year-2 spring, and that of saccharides is relatively stable except for the attenuation from Year-2 autumn to Year-3 spring. From Year-1 autumn to Year-2 spring, flavonoid aglycones initially produced in Scutellaria baicalensis are extensively transformed to responding flavonoid glycosides. From Year-2 spring to Year-3 autumn, flavonoid glycosides are converted back to their corresponding aglycones. The best seasons for collecting Scutellaria baicalensis with a high content of flavonoid glycosides and aglycones would be Year-2 spring and Year-3 spring, respectively.

Spirulina, Spirulina powder and dextrin standard were analyzed and identified by Infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The main components, protein (1 657 and 1 537 cm(-1)) and carbohydrate (1 069 and 1054 cm(-1)), had distinct fingerprint characteristics of IR spectra. By comparing the IR spectra of Spirulina, Spirulina powder and dextrin standard, the dominant nutrition in Spirulina powder was identified as protein and carbohydrate. The dominant accessory added in Spirulina powder was dextrin. Comparing the IR spectra of Spirulina powder from 28 different factories and figuring out the correlation provides the information about the amount of accessory. A standard curve of the ratio of absorption peak intensities to protein content was constructed to accurately determine the amount of protein in Spirulina powder.
