• The NIR-HSI was used for the first time to evaluate the lipid oxidation in mutton. • G2D-CS was used to determine the sequence of the changes in chemical bonds. • The CARS-LSSVM model showed good result to assess TBARS content in mutton (R p 2 = 0.83). This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of a rapid and non-destructive detecting method for lipid oxidation degree in mutton by near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI). The hyperspectral images of the samples were collected in the spectral range of 900–1700 nm based on line-scanning. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) and least-squares support vector machines (LSSVM) were established to correlate the full spectra with measured TBARS values. To reduce the complexity of the calibration models, eight new PLSR and LSSVM models based on the four sets of key variables extracted by interval variable iterative space shrinkage approach (iVISSA), interval random frog (IRF), variable combination population analysis (VCPA) and competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) were developed and compared. The optimized LSSVM model based on the feature wavebands selected by CARS methods was found to be good in predicting TBARS content, with R p 2 of 0.83, RMSEP of 0.11 mg kg−1, RPD of 2.82 and RER of 10.36. In summary, this study showed that it was feasible to non-destructively and rapidly evaluate lipid oxidation degree in mutton using NIR-HSI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The detection of meat texture is of great value because it is the key factor that drives consumer purchasing decisions. In this study, a hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system was utilized to determine the texture parameters of Tan mutton. In order to observe the influence of mutton spectra during different refrigeration periods for modeling, hyperspectral images of the Tan mutton samples were collected in the 900–1700 nm spectral range, and the correction models of Tan mutton texture parameters were established. The four machine learning algorithms, such as partial least squares regression (PLSR), least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), random forest (RF), and decision trees (DT), were developed to establish the spectral models based on the characteristic bands selected by different extraction strategies including interval variable iterative space shrinkage approach (iVISSA), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), successive projection algorithm (SPA) and variable combination population analysis (VCPA). The results showed that the LSSVM-iVISSA-CARS models exhibited excellent performance in predicting hardness and gumminess with root-mean-square errors (RMSEP) of 5.259 and 3.051 as well as the coefficient of determination for the prediction data set (R p 2) of 0.986 and 0.984 respectively. Good performances were achieved with R p 2 of 0.987 and RMSEP of 4.970 with the LSSVM-iVISSA-SPA model for chewiness, respectively. Therefore, HSI has potential for the evaluation and prediction of texture parameters in Tan mutton. • Spectra at 900–1700 nm was applied for detecting texture parameters of Tan mutton. • The OSC and MC methods were both utilized to preprocess X-block and Y-block. • Informative wavelengths were selected using iVISSV-CARS and iVISSV-SPA approaches. • The LSSVM model yielded the best result in predicting hardness, gumminess and chewiness of Tan mutton.

• The R spectra were transformed into two spectral units, A and K-M. • IVISSA algorithm was used to select characteristic wavelengths. • PLS-DA and SVM algorithms were used to identify sound and bruised jujubes. • A-Raw-iVISSA-PLS-DA was the optimal classification discriminant model. Bruising is one of the major challenges appearing in the postharvest grading and processing of Lingwu long jujubes, which leads to quality deterioration and microbial infection. In the present work, the spectra of reflectance (R), absorbance (A) and Kubelka-Munk (K-M) in Lingwu were obtained by hyperspectral imaging, and applied to non-destructively detect bruising symptoms. Spectra were preprocessed and characteristic wavelengths were selected by competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) and the interval variable iterative space shrinkage approach (iVISSA). Classification discriminant models were constructed by partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine (SVM). By comparison, the results revealed that the A-raw-iVISSA-PLS-DA model showed the lowest errors in cross-validation, while the number of feature variables was the lowest accounting for 28.8 %, and the accuracies of the calibration and cross validation were 88.9 % and 100.0 %, respectively. In particular, this study demonstrated the feasibility to detect the early bruising degree in Lingwu long jujubes based on absorbance spectrum. Consequently, it also laid a foundation for future studies about detecting early bruising in small fruit with a rapid and non-destructive spectral-optical measurement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Make a quantitative damage device for Lingwu long jujube. • Spectral of samples was scanned by VIS/NIR hyperspectral system. • Using SPA, UVE, CARS, iVISSA and 2D-COS to select the characteristic wavelength. • Establish the PLS-DA classification models. Early detection of internal bruise is one of the major challenges in postharvest quality sorting processes in Lingwu long jujube. In this study, the visible/near infrared (VIS/NIR) hyperspectral imaging system (400–1000 nm) was used to rapidly detect the intact and damaged jujube at five time points after mechanical damage (2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h). The region of interest of samples was selected by ENVI software, and the average spectrum was calculated for modelling. Different preprocessing methods were used to transform and enhance the spectral signal. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) classification models of the original and preprocessed spectra were established. The de-trending-PLS-DA model had the best effect, the accuracy of the calibration set and prediction set were 85.56% and 92.22%, respectively. The spectra were pre-processed by the de-trending algorithm, and the successive projection algorithm (SPA), uninformative variable elimination (UVE), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), interval variable iterative space shrinkage approach (iVISSA), cluster analysis (CA), two-dimensional correlation spectra (2D-COS), UVE-SPA, CARS-SPA, iVISSA-SPA, CA-SPA and 2D-COS-SPA method were used to select characteristic variables. The PLS-DA model based on feature variables was established. The de-trending-CARS-PLS-DA model with 63 variables was found to be the optimal model. In the de-trending-CARS-PLS-DA model, the accuracy of calibration set and prediction set were 86.67% and 91.11%, respectively. It was found that the model accurately detected bruising in jujube at 8 h after bruising, and the accuracy of calibration set and prediction set were 100%. The results showed that VIS/NIR hyperspectral imaging technology combined with PLS-DA could discriminate different stages of bruising in Lingwu long jujube. This study may help develop an online detection system of bruising in Lingwu long jujube. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
