Portable optical spectroscopy and machine learning techniques for quantification of the biochemical content of raw food materials by Cosimo Ricci, Agata Gadaleta, Annamaria Gerardino, Angelo Didonna, Giuseppe Ferrara, Francesca Romana Bertani

“…Two different portable Near InfraRed (NIR) spectrometers have been used: a prototype developed in the PhasmaFood project and the commercial SCiO™ molecular sensor. Results Considering the specific samples, the obtained results of the classification models indicate a validation mean absolute error of 0.8% (percentage of total protein content in dry matter) for two species of wheat using Convolutional Neural Network following normalization procedures and 0.32% using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis applied to Tritordeum samples; visible reflectance spectra have been used to discriminate the two cereal species. …”

Determination of L-Argininamide Based on Water-Soluble Fluorescent Conjugated Polymer-Aptamer by Hongliang Guan, Zhike He

“…Water-soluble fluorescent conjugated polymer is a promising material which could be used as an optical platform in highly sensitive molecular sensors. In this paper, a simple label-free DNA sensor, which consisted of a poly(3-alkoxy-4-methylthiophene) and an aptamer, was used to detect L-argininamide (L-Arm). …”
