Construction of a NIR Solid-State Composite Seasoning Freshness AI Model Based on Consumer Sensory Evaluation Ability Assessment
To address the issues of intense subjectivity and low reliability in sensory evaluation of umami intensity in solid composite seasonings, this study proposes a prediction model integrating near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and deep learning. By screening 1963 commercial samples and optimizing data quality through consumer sensory evaluation capability assessment, one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) and two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) models were constructed for quantitative prediction. The results showed that without consumer screening, the model achieved a mean relative error (MRE) of 12.79%~15.86% and a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.70~0.74. After excluding data from 6 consumers with poor evaluation capability, the performance of the 2D-CNN model significantly improved (training set: MRE=4.94%, R=0.90; validation set: MRE=5.25%, R=0.87). This study demonstrates that consumer evaluation capability screening and 2D-CNN-based feature extraction effectively enhance prediction accuracy, providing a robust and objective technical solution for quality assessment and product development of solid composite seasonings.
