Maturity Classification and Quality Determination of Cherry Using VNIR Hyperspectral Images and Comprehensive Chemometrics by Yuzhen Wei, Siyi Yao, Feiyue Wu, Qiangguo Yu

“…In this research, hyperspectral imaging (380–1030 nm) technology was applied to visually detect the sweetness and acidity of cherry. To improve the imaging performance, two spectral pretreatment methods (wavelet transform, standard normal variable transformation and detrend), three feature selection methods (successive projection algorithm, genetic algorithm, and shuffled frog leaping algorithm), and four regression modeling methods (principal components regression, partial least squares regression, least square-support vector regression, convolutional neural network) were employed and compared. …”

In vitro biological activities of silver nanoparticles using methanolic leaf extract of Plumeria rubra by Abhinash Marukurti, Alavala Matta Reddy, Pangi Vijaya Nirmala, Dasari Kalyani, K. Ramaneswari, I. J. N. Padmavathi, L. Pradeepthi Pemmaraju, Gotham Samuel Silvanus, Buddha Sai Keerthana, Shaik Farhana, D. Ramachandran, B. Mallikarjuna, Phanindra Babu Kasi

“…The phytochemistry of PR extract was observed using qualitative screening, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID). The observed surface plasmon resonance using UV-visible spectroscopy confirmed the formation of PR-AgNPs, and the surface functionalization identified with FTIR correlated with the phytochemistry of the PR extract. …”
