Abstract:
Organic food consumption has increased significantly over time. This contributes to the increased demand and price of this kind of food. Among the organic products, cinnamon stands out for its characteristic flavor and bioactive compounds. Thus, the work aimed to verify the potentials of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform mid-infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-MIR) coupled with Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) for evaluation of cinnamon organic samples. As result, the proposal is feasible in the differentiation of organic cinnamon powder, in which ATR-FT-MIR coupled with PARAFAC showed the differentiation of organic from non-organic ones on the scores mode, the precision at repeatability level on one loading mode, and the spectral region, on the other loading mode, above 2600 cm-1 was related to the differentiation of the organic and non-organic samples.

Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0%...
