Research on the Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy Combined With Support Vector Machines for Intelligent Discrimination of Milk Adulteration
Milk is favored due to its high nutritional value and consumption rate. Authenticity is a common concern for value assessment. Recently, non-invasive and rapid identification methods have been preferred for the dairy industry. This work proposed a quick method using synchronous fluorescence (SF) spectroscopy and a support vector machine (SVM) for the identification of raw milk. With this aim, SF spectra of milk were recorded between 220 and 600 nm excitation range with Δλ of 10 to 180 nm, in steps of 10 nm. All the milk showed the same fluorescence excitation at band position 280 nm, which corresponded to tryptophan. However, the fluorescence intensity of pure milk at this location was significantly higher than that of the two types of milk powder, and skimmed milk powder was stronger than whole milk powder. It indicated that the same main components were in milk. However, there were differences in their concentrations by different treatment methods. Two types of reconstituted formula milk were differentiated based on intensity variations at wavelengths 350~400 and 450~500 nm. The excitation at these wavelength positions corresponds to vitamin A and carotenoids. At these bands, the skimmed milk powder had a stronger fluorescence intensity in the corresponding region than whole milk powder, mainly due to the scattering of fatty substances, which enhanced the fluorescence intensity. Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) was found to reduce three-dimensional SF spectroscopy to two-dimensional data, resulting in a better understanding of the characteristics of dairy products. When the suitable components were6, the maximum load value was at Δλ with 40 nm, where the difference in sample information was more significant. Then, the Δλ with 40 nm and the value of contaminated dairy products as input data were used to classify and identify adulterated milk for the support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The three SVM methods were the genetic algorithm for support vector machine (Ga-SVM), particle swarm optimization support vector machine (Pso-SVM), and grid search algorithm (Grid-SVM). The results showed that the optimal classification accuracy for the Grid-SVM mode training set, test set, and cross-validation (CV) accuracy were 100.00%, 100%, and 98.91%, respectively, with a model running time of only 6.724 seconds. The study demonstrated that SF spectroscopy with PARAFAC and SVM methods is a promising tool and can potentially become a rapid and nondestructive analytical technique for identification of adulteration milk.
