The Chemometrics of Imaging Spectroscopy

Sections on matrix algebra, analytic geometry, experimental design, instrument and system calibration, noise, derivatives and their use in data analysis, linearity and nonlinearity are described. Collaborative laboratory studies, using ANOVA, testing for systematic error, ranking tests for collaborative studies, and efficient comparison of two analytical methods are included. Discussion on topics such as the limitations in analytical accuracy and brief introductions to the statistics of spectral searches and the chemometrics of imaging spectroscopy are included.

Nicolai et al. (2007) wrote a review about the applications of non-destructive measurement of fruit and vegetable quality. Measurement principles are compwed, and novel techniques (hyperspectral imaging) are reviewed. Special attention is p>aid to recent developments in portable systems. The problem of calibration transfer from one spectrophotometer to another is introduced, as well as techniques for calibration transfer. Chemometrics is an essential part of spectroscopy and the choice, of corrected techniques, is primary (linear or nonlinear regression, such as kernel-based methods are discussed). The principal objective of spectroscopy system applications in fruit and vegetables sector have focused on the nondestructive measurement of soluble solids content, texture, dry matter, acidity or disorders of fruit and vegetables, (root mean square error of prediction want to be achieved). 

Sampling, sample handling, and storage and sample preparation methods are extensively covered, and modern methods such as accelerated solvent extraction, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), QuEChERS, and microwave techniques are included. Instrumentation, the analysis of liquids and solids, and applications of NMR are discussed in detail. A section on hyphenated NMR techniques is included, along with an expanded section on MRI and advanced imaging. The IR instrumentation section is focused on FTIR instrumentation. Absorption, emission, and reflectance spectroscopy are discussed, as is ETIR microscopy. ATR has been expanded. Near-IR instrumentation and applications are presented, and the topic of chemometrics is introduced. Coverage of Raman spectroscopy includes resonance Raman, surface-enhanced Raman, and Raman microscopy.
