Abstract
- Early detection of beer faults is an important assessment in the brewing process to secure a high-quality product and consumer acceptability. This study proposed an integrated AI system for smart detection of beer faults based on the comparison of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and a newly developed electronic nose (e-nose) using machine learning modelling. For these purposes, a commercial larger beer was used as a base prototype, which was spiked with 18 common beer faults plus the control aroma. The 19 aroma profiles were used as targets for classification ma-chine learning (ML) modelling. Six different ML models were developed; Model 1 (M1) and M2 were developed using the NIR absorbance values (100 inputs from 1596–2396 nm) and e-nose (nine sensor readings) as inputs, respectively, to classify the samples into control, low and high concentration of faults. Model 3 (M3) and M4 were based on NIR and M5 and M6 based on the e-nose readings as inputs with 19 aroma profiles as targets for all models. A customized code tested 17 artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms automatically testing performance and neu-ron trimming. Results showed that the Bayesian regularization algorithm was the most adequate for classification rendering precisions of M1 = 95.6%, M2 = 95.3%, M3 = 98.9%, M4 = 98.3%, M5 = 96.8%, and M6 = 96.2% without statistical signs of under- or overfitting. The proposed system can be added to robotic pourers and the brewing process at low cost, which can benefit craft and larger brewing companies.
