Abstract
Maintaining color stability in vegetable dishes under hot-chain conditions remains challenging. This study explored pigment degradation kinetics using hyperspectral imaging with chemometrics, comparing three models (PLS, IPLS, SIPLS) for five pigments after 11 spectral preprocessing methods with PCA. Optimized models showed strong performance (calibration R²: 0.9707–0.9921; prediction R²: 0.9412–0.9739). Kinetic analysis revealed the Weibull model's superiority (R²: 0.9558–0.9988) over traditional kinetic models. Synergistic enzyme-thermal degradation mechanisms were proposed, incorporating enzyme catalytic/inactivation rates and non-enzymatic degradation. Pearson analysis identified thermal exposure duration (- 0.755 to - 0.864 correlation) as the primary degradation driver, followed by temperature-related mass loss rates (0.663 to −0.759). Quantitative visualization to study pigment distribution, mass change, and color change to study apparent changes. These findings provide mechanistic insights into pigment degradation pathways and practical strategies for optimizing vegetable dish quality in commercial hot-chain systems.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
