Abstract
To achieve rapid non-destructive detection of the main components of pork, a partial least squares regression (PLSR) model was developed to predict the moisture, fat, and protein content in the longissimus dorsi muscle (PLM) using visible near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIR) and short-wave infrared spectroscopy (SWIR) combined with a data fusion strategy. The results showed that the low-level data fusion strategy was most effective for predicting moisture content (RP = 0.971, RMSEP = 0.192), whereas the high-level data fusion strategy demonstrated superior performance in predicting fat content (RP = 0.961, RMSEP = 0.770) and protein content (RP = 0.929, RMSEP = 0.281). Specifically, compared with the best results obtained from single spectral source models, the RPD values for moisture, fat, and protein content models established by data fusion improved by 1.206, 0.333 and 0.300, respectively. In conclusion, combining VNIR and SWIR spectral data with data fusion strategies effectively addressed the limited detection range of a single spectrum and offered a promising alternative to traditional analytical methods for efficiently quantifying the chemical composition in pork. Additionally, it also provided the core algorithm for developing handheld meat analyzers and supported the industrialization of rapid field-testing equipment.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
