Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop a rapid method by using near-infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy to detect the use, status (active or inactive), and concentration of microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) in yogurt. Control samples were manufactured without mTGase. Two different levels of mTGase concentration were employed: 1 and 2 units. Half of the enzyme-added samples were inactivated after yogurt manufacture to detect the active/inactive status of mTGase. Both for NIR and MIR, analyzed via the soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) approaches were able to classify the control sample from active mTGase-containing yogurts and enzyme status, but could not differentiate enzyme concentrations. Machine learning effectively determined mTGase presence, activity, and concentrations. In conclusion, NIR and MIR spectroscopy, combined with chemometric methods, successfully detected mTGase in yogurt, with machine learning outperforming SIMCA and PLS-DA in identifying enzyme levels.
期刊介绍:
Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies (IFSET) aims to provide the highest quality original contributions and few, mainly upon invitation, reviews on and highly innovative developments in food science and emerging food process technologies. The significance of the results either for the science community or for industrial R&D groups must be specified. Papers submitted must be of highest scientific quality and only those advancing current scientific knowledge and understanding or with technical relevance will be considered.
