Rapid Authentication of Spelt Using FTIR with Chemometrics

Posted by Mark Woolfe on October 18, 2022 at 12:24pm

10844497097?profile=RESIZE_400x The popularity of spelt (Triticum spelta) is growing, and there is a need for a rapid method to authenticate it, and especially to detect adulteration by common wheat. In this study, an attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) method was developed, and combined with orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). A validation set of spelt and common wheat provided good discrimination between the two cereals. Also, adulterated samples were prepared as an external validation set, and the developed OPLS-DA model identified the spelt-common wheat mixtures as a separate class highlighting its strong predictive power.
