Abstract:

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable with high content of mineral elements. The traditional determination method was cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious. In this study, contents of mineral elements including potassium, sulfur, phosphorus, calcium, ferrum and magnesium in broccoli were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). At the same time, the samples were scanned by near-infrared spectrometer, and spectral files of samples were obtained. The near-infrared spectral method for rapid determination of mineral elements in broccoli was proposed. On the basis of partial least square (PLS) analysis, chemical analysis results and spectral files were smoothed by Savitzky-Golay convolution. Multivariate scattering correction (MSC) and standard normal variable (SNV) with different scattering processing methods, and the first derivative (FD) and second derivative (SD) of derivative processing methods were used to pretreat the spectra to obtain the calibration equation. The results showed that: (1) K, Mg and Ca had the best results after MSC+FD treatment, coefficient of determination in calibration (RSQ) was 0.884, 0.944 and 0.651, respectively, and coefficient of determination in valibration (R2) was 0.893, 0.928 and 0.604, respectively. Residual predictive deviation (RPD) values were 2.491, 2.710 and 1.344, respectively; (2) P had the best effect after SNV+FD treatment, RSQ, R2 and RPD values were 0.733, 0.703 and 1.117, respectively; (3) S and Fe had the best result after MSC+SD treatment, RSQ were 0.523, 0.581, R2 were 0.537 and 0.416, respectively, and RPD were 1.133 and 1.100, respectively. The established model for rapid detection of K and Mg in near infrared spectroscopy could be used for practical applications. P could be predicted approximately quantitatively, but the accuracy and stability of the model needed to be improved by increasing samples types; Prediction degree of the near infrared models of Ca, S and Fe could be improved by establishing two models of high concentration and low concentration.
