NIR Spectroscopy Based Non-invasive Assessment of Tea Quality
摘要
This study demonstrates a rapid and non-invasive method for classification and estimation of catechin and caffeine changes with storage time in tea sample by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The NIR spectra of 34 tea samples were used to evaluate the modelling and prediction performance of a combination of Optuna with three machine learning models. Result showed caffeine prediction with MSEP and R2 values of 0.27 and 0.98, respectively. However, smaller MSEP of 0.04 was found for catechin with R2 value of 0.96. These findings suggest that NIR spectroscopy based chemometric analysis can be used to predict the changes in biochemical content in tea with storage time.
