Advanced Classification of Coffee Beans with Fatty Acids Profiling to Block Information Loss

Abstract

Classification is a kernel process in the standardization, grading, and sensory aspects of coffee industries. The chemometric data of fatty acids and crude fat are used to characterize the varieties of coffee. Two category classifiers were used to distinguish the species and roasting degree of coffee beans. However, the fatty acid profiling with normalized data gave a bad discriminant result in the classification study with mixed dimensions in species and roasted degree. The result of the predictive model is in conflict with the context of human cognition, since roasted coffee beans are easily visually distinguished from green coffee beans. By exploring the effects of error analysis and information processing technologies, the lost information was identified as a bias–variance tradeoff derived from the percentile normalization. The roasting degree as extensive information was attenuated by the percentile normalization, but the cultivars as intensive information were enhanced. An informational spiking technique is proposed to patch the dataset and block the information loss. The identified blocking of informational loss could be available for multidimensional classification systems based on the chemometric data.

Fatty Acids-Based Quality Index to Differentiate Worldwide Commercial Pistachio Cultivars

“…The sensory stability of pistachio nut varieties during storage using descriptive analysis combined with chemometrics can help producers in the management of storage length, and more particularly, export circumstances [36]. In another work, the chemometric data of fatty acids and crude fat are used to characterize the varieties of coffee [37]. In this sense, this paper reports on the employment of gas chromatographic fatty acid fingerprints in combination with multivariate data analysis to classify pistachio from different cultivars in Iran.…”

Using Sensory Wheels to Characterize Consumers’ Perception for Authentication of Taiwan Specialty Teas

“…According to the results of the consumer questionnaire, the aroma descriptors in the sensory wheels were used to profile the characteristics of Taiwan specialty teas by fuzzy algorithm [ 42 , 43 ], as shown in Figure 5 . Apart from the fully fermented black tea and Bi-Lo-Chung green tea in the northern estates, the teas are partially fermented Oolong teas.…”

Deteksi Penyakit Brown Eye Spot pada Daun Kopi Menggunakan Metode Euclidean Distance dan Hough Transform

“…Seperti penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Suhartono et al yang menggunakan Fuzzy Logic sebagai salah expert system untuk mendeteksi brown eye [9]. Disamping itu penelitian yang dilakukan Hung et al [10] yang juga melakukan penelitian yang sama hanya saja menggunakan metode yang berbeda, yaitu discriminant analysis.Oleh karena itu penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode lain untuk mengetahui tingkat akurasi yang baik. Dengan demikian, maka akan digunakan metode K-Nearest Neighbour.…”
