We are presenting an Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) application designed to perform detailed (regional) authenticity and traceability assessments in the case of herbal spices. Its capacity to correctly assign the class (regional) identity when the properties of a new sample are compared simultaneously with models built for several regions of origin has been evaluated. A case study performed for dill (Anethum graveolens) indicates that ANN is very fit for the purpose, the system providing efficient and cost-effective simultaneous regional traceability assessments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
