Authentication of ST25 rice using temperature-perturbed Raman measurement with variable selection by Incremental Association Markov Blanket

초록

A temperature-perturbed transmission Raman measurement was demonstrated for the discrimination of ST25 and non-ST25 rice samples. ST25 rice is a premium long-grain Vietnamese rice with the aroma of pandan leaves and the scent of early sticky rice. Raman spectra of rice samples were acquired with temperature perturbation ranging from 20 to 50 °C, and the variables (intensities of peaks) with greater discrimination were selected from the spectra using Incremental Association Markov Blanket (IAMB) for authentication. The combination of four, seven, and four variables selected from the spectra at 20, 30, and 50 °C, respectively, yielded the highest accuracy of 97.9%. The accuracies in the single-temperature measurements were lower, suggesting that the combination of mutually complementary spectral features acquired at these temperatures is synergetic to recognize the compositional differences between two sample groups, such as in the amylose/amylopectin ratio and the protein constituent.
