Abstract:
Dystal, an artificial neural network, was used to classify orange juice products. Nine varieties of oranges collected from six geographical regions were processed into single-strength, reconstituted or frozen concentrated orange juice. The data set represented 240 authentic and 173 adulterated samples of juices; 16 variables [8 flavone and flavanone glycoside concentrations measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and 8 trace element concentrations measured by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy] were selected to characterize each juice and were used as input to Dystal. Dystal correctly classified 89.8% of the juices as authentic or adulterated. Classification performance increased monotonically as the percentage of pulpwash in the sample increased. Dystal correctly identified 92.5% of the juices by variety (Valencia vs non-Valencia).
