Abstract
Preservatives are universally used in synergistic combination to enhance antimicrobial effect. Identify compositions and quantify components of preservatives are crucial steps in quality monitoring to guarantee merchandise safety. In the work, three most common preservatives, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, are deliberately mixed in pairs with different mass ratios, which are supposed to be the “unknown” multicomponent systems and measured by terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy. Subsequently, three major challenges have been accomplished by machine learning methods in this work. The singular value decomposition (SVD) effectively obtains the number of components in mixed preservatives. Then, the component spectra are successfully extracted by non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and self-modeling mixture analysis (SMMA), which match well with the measured THz spectra of pure reagents. Moreover, the support vector machine for regression (SVR) designed an underlying model to the target components and simultaneously identify contents of each individual component in validation mixtures with decision coefficient R2 = 0.989. By taking advantages of the fingerprint-based THz technique and machine learning methods, our approach has been demonstrated the great potential to be served as a useful strategy for detecting preservative mixtures in practical applications.
… THz spectra of samples were obtained by TPS system (Teraview
Ltd., UK) with resolution of 1 cm -1 (0.03 THz). Measurements were operated under purged
dry-air (relative humidity < 1%) to minimize the impact of ambient water vapor. All
