However, the precise antioxidant action mechanism of phenolic compounds is still not well defined. It is evident that understanding the molecular mechanisms behind polyphenol-lipid interactions is necessary to comprehend this impact. The objective of this work is to examine the effect of phenolic compound coumarin on the physicochemical properties of cell membrane models. To accomplish this goal, model membranes made up of zwitterionic dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and anionic dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) lipids were used. These lipid species are the main component of the mammalian and gram-positive bacteria membranes, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Raman spectroscopy were applied for studying the interaction of coumarin with DMPC and DMPG. From the DSC results, it was found that pretransition was abolished for both lipid systems at 20 mol% coumarin. Main phase transition shifted to lower temperatures and broadened, but there was not a complete disappearance of main transition and coumarin was not fully miscible. A sharp peak at a higher temperature and a broad shoulder at a lower temperature of the main transition of DMPC were detected when compared to coumarin/DMPG binary system. A reduction in calorimetric enthalpy and entropy values of coumarin/DMPC system at 20 mol% was observed whereas an increase in these calorimetric parameters for coumarin/DMPG system occurred. Thus, the disorder was caused when 20 mol% coumarin interacts with DMPC lipid bilayers. The increase in enthalpy could be a result of the 20 mol% coumarin interactions with DMPG lipid bilayers or a possible generated partial interdigitation. From the Raman results, the peak height Raman intensity ratio I<sub>1090</sub>/I<sub>1130</sub> showed that coumarin induces disorder in the DMPG bilayers in the gel phase due to the increasing <em>gauche:trans</em> ratio. According to the results obtained by DSC and Raman spectroscopy, it was found that coumarin has a varied effect on membranes made from lipids with choline and glycerol head groups. Thus, it is obvious that the polyphenol/membrane interactions can be significantly impacted by the lipids’ structural variations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23656,"journal":{"name":"Vibrational Spectroscopy","volume":"133 ","pages":"Article 103712"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141485092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Triggered by economic reasons, TO can potentially be adulterated with pork oil (PO), which has a lower price. The adulteration is a serious problem because PO is a non-halal oil, which is truly prohibited to be consumed, especially for Muslim. This research aimed to develop an effective and efficient analytical technique for detecting PO adulteration in TO using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy aided by machine learning techniques. Various machine learning techniques were developed, including linear regression, support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), artificial neural network (ANN), and gradient boosting. The result showed that SVM at the fingerprint region (1400–900 cm<sup>−1</sup>) demonstrated the best model to detect and predict PO in TO with the highest R<sup>2</sup> (0.993) and the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) of 2.719 %. All levels of PO contained in TO could be accurately predicted, as indicated by the closeness between the actual value and predicted value of PO levels predicted by the model. In conclusion, machine learning could be a promising tool for detecting adulterants in fish oil samples. Further research on method standardization is important to propose the method as the method of choice for fish oil authentication, including halal authentication.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23656,"journal":{"name":"Vibrational Spectroscopy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 103715"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141594549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spectral data from 368 compounds were initially collected for modeling. The ResUCA model was developed based on the residual neural network and compared with other models. Using the same data enhancement method, ResUCA outperformed the other models in terms of accuracy, recall, precision and F1_score. Subsequently, optimization was performed, considering factors such as data augmentation, spectrum selection, and sample processing, all of which impact the model's construction. Finally, the model was expanded in two steps, maintaining a consistently high recall rate, albeit with an increase in false positives. This suggests that fine-tuning the model parameters can help mitigate this challenge in various scenarios, highlighting its potential for ongoing optimization in future research efforts.

Our model comprises dual branches that perform distinct tasks. The spectral learning branch is responsible for extracting features from the spectral domain. The time-frequency map learning branch employs CNNs for extracting the multi-scale information-rich features. The proposed method is used for the quantitative analysis of Escherichia coli.
