In this paper, a methodology based on characteristic spectral bands of near infrared spectroscopy (1000–2500[Formula: see text]nm) and multivariate analysis was proposed to identify camellia oil adulteration with vegetable oils. Sunflower, peanut and corn oils were selected to conduct the test. Pure camellia oil and that adulterated with varying concentrations (1–10% with the gradient of 1%, 10–40% with the gradient of 5%, 40–100% with the gradient of 10%) of each type of the three vegetable oils were prepared, respectively. For each type of adulterated oil, full-spectrum partial least squares partial least squares (PLS) models and synergy interval partial least squares (SI-PLS) models were developed. Parameters of these models were optimized simultaneously by cross-validation. The SI-PLS models were proved to be better than the full-spectrum PLS models. In SI-PLS models, the correlation coefficients of predition set (Rp) were 0.9992, 0.9998 and 0.9999 for adulteration with sunflower oil, peanut oil and corn oil seperately; the corresponding root mean square errors of prediction set (RMSEP) were 1.23, 0.66 and 0.37. Furthermore, a new generic PLS model was built based on the characteristic spectral regions selected from the intervals of the three SI-PLS models to identify the oil adulterants, regardless of the adultrated oil types. The model achieved with Rp[Formula: see text] 0.9988 and RMSEP [Formula: see text] 1.52. These results indicated that the characteristic near infrared spectral regions could determine the level of adulteration in the camellia oil.

The feasibility of using near infrared (NIR) transmission spectroscopy for rapid and conclusive determination of contaminants in lubricant oil was investigated. The NIR spectrum in the region from 1300 to 1700 nm was used to predict gasoline and ethylene glycol concentrations present in lubricant oil. A graphically-oriented local multivariate calibration modelling procedure called interval partial least-squares (iPLS) was applied to find variable intervals that featured the lowest prediction error. When compared with the full spectrum PLS model, better results were obtained through the iPLS program. High correlation coefficients and low root mean square errors of cross-validation ( RMSECV) were obtained for gasoline ( R = 0.98, RMSECV = 0.38%, range = 0.2–8.0% w/w) and ethylene glycol determinations ( R = 0.97, RMSECV = 0.04%, range = 0.06 to 0.7% w/w), indicating that the proposed methodology can be used for contaminant determinations in lubricant oil.

In arid and semi-arid regions, identifying and monitoring of soil alkalinity and salinity are in urgently need for preventing land degradation and maintaining ecological balances. In this study, physicochemical, statistical, and spectral analysis revealed that potential of hydrogen (pH) and electrical conductivity (EC) characterized the saline-alkali soils and were sensitive to the visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) wavelengths. On the basis of soil pH, EC, and spectral data, the partial least squares regression (PLSR) models for estimating soil alkalinity and salinity were constructed. The R2 values for soil pH and EC models were 0.77 and 0.48, and the root mean square errors (RMSEs) were 0.95 and 17.92 dS/m, respectively. The ratios of performance to inter-quartile distance (RPIQ) for the soil pH and EC models were 3.84 and 0.14, respectively, indicating that the soil pH model performed well but the soil EC model was not considerably reliable. With the validation dataset, the RMSEs of the two models were 1.06 and 18.92 dS/m. With the PLSR models applied to hyperspectral data acquired from the hyperspectral imager (HSI) onboard the HJ-1A satellite (launched in 2008 by China), the soil alkalinity and salinity distributions were mapped in the study area, and were validated with RMSEs of 1.09 and 17.30 dS/m, respectively. These findings revealed that the hyperspectral images in the VIS-NIR wavelengths had the potential to map soil alkalinity and salinity in the Songnen Plain, China.

Because of the complexity of near infrared spectral data, effective strategies are necessary proposed for accurate quantitative analysis purpose. This work explores a new self-construction strategy for the arrangement of conventional near infrared two-dimensional spectra into new self-constructed three-dimensional spectra, and investigate the feasibility of N-way partial least squares combined with the new self-constructed three-dimensional near infrared spectra for obtaining accurate quantitative determination results. A proof-of-concept model system, the quantitative analysis of four components (moisture, oil, protein, and starch) in corn samples, was applied to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy. The ability of the newly proposed approach to predict the target compounds was checked with test samples. The established models have good predictive power for the target compounds with acceptable values of Rp (range from 0.82 to 0.997) and RMSEP (range from 0.03 to 0.47). Compared with partial least squares method on pretreated near infrared spectra and N-way partial least squares method on the basis of near infrared self-constructed three-dimensional spectra, the proposed method is competitive.

In this work the feasibility of near infrared spectroscopy was evaluated combined with chemometric approaches, as a tool for the botanical origin prediction of 119 honey samples. Four varieties related to polyfloral, acacia, chestnut, and linden were first characterized by their physical–chemical parameters and then analyzed in triplicate using a near infrared spectrophotometer equipped with an optical path gold reflector. Three different classifiers were built on distinct multivariate and machine learning approaches for honey botanical classification. A partial least squares discriminant analysis was used as a first approach to build a predictive model for honey classification. Spectra pretreatments named autoscale, standard normal variate, detrending, first derivative, and smoothing were applied for the reduction of scattering related to the presence of particle size, like glucose crystals. The values of the descriptive statistics of the partial least squares discriminant analysis model allowed a sufficient floral group prediction for the acacia and polyfloral honeys but not in the cases of chestnut and linden. The second classifier, based on a support vector machine, allowed a better classification of acacia and polyfloral and also achieved the classification of chestnut. The linden samples instead remained unclassified. A further investigation, aimed to improve the botanical discrimination, exploited a feature selection algorithm named Boruta, which assigned a pool of 39 informative averaged near infrared spectral variables on which a canonical discriminant analysis was assessed. The canonical discriminant analysis accounted a better separation of samples according to the botanical origin than the partial least squares discriminant analysis. The approach used has permitted to achieve a complete authentication of the acacia honeys but not a precise segregation of polyfloral ones. The comparison between the variables important in projection and the Boruta pool showed that the informative wavelengths are partially shared especially in the middle and far band of the near infrared spectral range.

The qualitative and quantitative determination of the components of textile fibers takes an important position in quality control. A fast and nondestructive method of simultaneously analyzing four fiber components in blended fabrics was studied by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with multivariate calibration. Two sample sets including 39 and 25 samples were designed by simplex mixture lattice design methods and used for experiment. Four components include wool, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, and nylon and their mixture is one of the most popular formulas of textiles. Uninformative variable elimination-partial least squares (UVEPLS) and the full-spectrum partial least squares (PLS) were used as the tool. On the test set, the mean standard error of prediction (SEP) and the mean ratio of the standard deviation of the response variable and SEP (RPD) of the full-spectrum PLS model and UVEPLS model were 0.38, 0.32 and 7.6, 8.3, respectively. This result reveals that the UVEPLS can construct local models with acceptable and better performance than the full-spectrum PLS. It indicates that this method is valuable for nondestructive analysis in the field of wool content detection since it can avoid time-consuming, costly, and laborious wet chemical analysis.
