Abstract
- • Assessing black tea quality by Vis-NIR spectra. • Selecting spectral features by the Si-PLS, CARS, iVISSA, and VISSA. • Chemometric models for black tea quality developed using SVM-based kernel methods. • The CARS-linear kernel SVM model shows promising results. Current evaluation systems for tea quality assessment are difficult to use and unstable. A rapid and cheap assessment method is required to distinguish the quality levels of tea. In this study, a visible-near-infrared (Vis–NIR) spectrometer and support vector machine (SVM)-based kernels were used for the qualitative categorization of black tea. First, a Vis–NIR system was used to acquire the spectral data of seven levels of tea samples. The obtained spectra were preprocessed using the Savitzky–Golay smoothing combined with the first derivative and standard normal variate transformation. Then, four characteristic wavelength selection algorithms, namely synergy interval partial least square, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), the variable iterative space shrinkage approach (VISSA), and the interval VISSA, were used to obtain preprocessed spectral features. Finally, the SVM was used with four kernel functions, namely the linear, Gaussian, quadratic, and cubic functions, to develop models based on the variables obtained from the selected features for tea quality classification. The results revealed that the CARS–linear kernel SVM model exhibited the best results, with a correct identification rate of 91.85 % in the validation process. Our findings demonstrate that Vis-NIR spectroscopy can be a rapid, inexpensive, efficient, and alternative method for predicting the quality of black tea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
