Abstract
Gluten content and strength are key indicators of whole wheat flour processing quality, and their rapid non-destructive detection is crucial for quality screening and wheat variety breeding. This paper proposed a covariance guided stratified sampling (CGSS) algorithm for partitioning multi-indicator small sample sets. Furthermore, a novel analytical framework combining a bilinear surface model with machine learning algorithms is presented to simultaneously detect gluten content and strength indicators. The results showed that the novel modeling approach combined with CARS-LASSO achieved optimal prediction, with test values of 0.98, 0.93, 0.89, 0.84, and 0.83 and RPD values of 6.73, 3.77, 3.08, 2.47, and 2.40 for WGS, GI, DGC, WGC, and WGC (14% MB), respectively. The proposed model, incorporating machine learning algorithms, provides a novel approach for the quantitative and rapid simultaneous detection of gluten properties in whole wheat flour.
