Tracing the Geographical Origins of Dendrobe (Dendrobium spp.) by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Sensor Combined with Porphyrin and Chemometrics by Chaogeng Lv, Yali He, Chuanzhi Kang, Li Zhou, Tielin Wang, Jian Yang, Lanping Guo

“…The mechanism of TMPP improving the specificity of NIR spectroscopy should be related to the π-π conjugated system and the methoxy groups of TMPP interact with the chemical components of dendrobe. This study reflected that NIR spectrum with TMPP sensor was an effective approach for identifying the geographic origin of dendrobe.…”
