Correct classification percentages in prediction ranging from 59% to 89% were obtained with the best models calculated with selected wavenumbers.

Abstract
This work aims at the evaluation of FT-NIR and FT-IR spectroscopy as rapid, easy, and cost-effective tools for the classification of egg white powder (EWP) based on its technological properties. Up to 100 commercial spray-dried EWP samples with known gelling and foaming properties were used to acquire FT-NIR and FT-IR spectra. An appropriate data-splitting algorithm (Duplex) was applied in order to create, for each dataset, a calibration set and a representative validation test set for prediction. Different spectral pre-treatments and their combinations were investigated for the calculation of Partial Least Squares–Discriminant Analysis models in order to classify samples according to gel strength, foam height, and foam instability. A variable selection strategy based on the so-called Variable Importance in Projection scores was also evaluated. Both FT-NIR and FT-IR spectroscopy showed good potential in discriminating EWP samples with different technological properties. Correct classification percentages in prediction ranging from 59% to 89% were obtained with the best models calculated with selected wavenumbers. These results show a promising industrial perspective, demonstrating the possibility of developing cheap and fast instruments spanning a limited spectral range, which can be implemented on the production lines for EWP sorting and quality control.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
