Near-infrared (NIR) transmittance spectroscopy combined with least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) was investigated to study the quality change of tomato juice during the storage. A total of 100 tomato juice samples were used. The spectrum of each tomato juice was collected twice: the first measurement was taken when the tomato juice was fresh and had not undergone any changes, and the second measurement was taken after a month. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to examine a potential capability of separating juice before and after the storage. The soluble solid content (SSC) and pH of the juice samples were determined. The results show that changes in certain compounds between tomato juice before and after the storage period were obvious. An excellent precision was achieved by LS-SVM model compared with discriminant partial least-squares (DPLS), soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA), and discriminant analysis (DA) models, with 100% of a total accuracy. It can be found that NIR spectroscopy coupled with LS-SVM, DPLS, SIMCA, and DA can be used to control the quality change of tomato juice during the storage.
A novel aptamer based dot-blot assay for the detection of immunoglobulin E (IgE) was developed. A biotinylated aptamer was employed as the bio-recognition element to specifically interact with the target protein immobilized onto a nitrocellulose membrane substrate. Avidin conjugated horseradish peroxidase was introduced onto the membrane through the biotin-avidin system to catalyze the hydrogen peroxide mediated oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, thereby producing the blue-colored insoluble product. The intensity of the dots increased as the concentration of IgE increased. The spot intensity was quantified using a simple portable instrument. A linear response relationship between the spot intensity and the concentration of IgE over the range of 50 nmol/L to 1 μmol/L was obtained. The detection limit for IgE using the aptamer-based assay was 2.89 nmol/L. This assay was found to discriminate IgE from non-target proteins such as thrombin, bovine serum albumin and immunoglobulin G.
为了实现番茄可溶性固形物含量（soluble solids content,SSC）的有效检测,提出高光谱漫透射成像检测方法,对比该成像方式下不同姿态（果脐端面姿态BS、赤道圆周3姿态C1、C2、C3以及组合姿态C1C2C3）的检测效果。首先对采集的不同姿态光谱图像,通过剪裁消除图像边缘噪声。针对圆周赤道面姿态C1、C2和C3,进行了拼接处理,获得组合姿态图像C1C2C3。其后对以上5种姿态图像进行单波段背景分割,获取目标区域,并统计不同姿态下番茄漫透射平均光谱。最后利用漫透射光谱结合偏最小二乘回归（partial least squares,PLS）方法,对番茄SSC分别在450~720、720~990、450~990 nm 3个波段进行定量分析。结果表明,组合姿态C1C2C3在3个波段区域上整体检测效果优于单个姿态的检测效果,其模型验证集均方根误差（root mean squared error of prediction,RMSEP）分别为0.299%、0.133%、0.151%;相关系数rp分别为0.42,0.89,0.90。说明利用高光谱漫透射成像,获取组合姿态光谱图像,可以有效检测番茄SSC。
