[Quantitative Analysis of Deep-Frying Oil Adulterated Virgin Olive Oil Using Vis-NIR Spectroscopy with iPLS]

To explore a rapid and reliable method for quantitative analysis of deep-frying oil adulterated virgin olive oil, visible and near infrared(Vis-NIR) spectroscopy and three improved partial least squares methods, including interval Partial Least Squares (iPLS), synergy interval partial least squares (SiPLS) and backward interval partial least squares (BiPLS) were employed to establish predicting models of doping content based on virgin olive oil adulterating different levels and different types of deep-frying oil. And the models were compared in order to choose the best one. The Vis-NIR spectroscopy ranged from 400 to 2 500 nm was obtained directly from the adulterated samples, and the spectroscopic data was preprocessed with Savitzky-Golay (SG). Then, the samples were divided into calibration set and test set by Sample Set Partitioning based on Joint X-Y Distance (SPXY) after rejecting the odd samples. At last, the predicting models of doping content were built by using different interval partial least squares methods. The results showed that the optimal model for predicting the doping content of deep-frying soybean oil in virgin olive oil was obtained with SiPLS method that separated the whole spectra into 20 intervals and combined the fourth and the sixteenth intervals. The SiPLS model had correlation coefficient (r) of 0.998 9 and root mean standard error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.019 2. In addition, for deep-frying peanut oil adulterated virgin olive oil, the SiPLS and BiPLS models with interval 2 and interval 16 which the whole spectra was separated into 20 intervals, had same results. The RMSEP was 0.012 0, lower than iPLS model. Moreover, compared to SiPLS method, BiPLS method saved computation and was more efficient. Overall, through selecting the effective wavelength range, SiPLS method and BiPLS method could accurately predict the doping content of deep-frying oil in virgin olive oil based on its’ Vis-NIR spectroscopy. In addition, this fast and nondestructive experiment doesn’t need sample pretreatment with advantages of no environment pollution, easy operation.
