Abstract:
In order to measure total acid
(TA) and total ester
(TE) accurately and quickly in liquor, calibration models were established based on Fourier-transform near-infrared spectroscopy with artifical neural network by Cross-Validation after the spectra were analyzed and discussed. Results show that according to the selected spectral ranges of 6102~5446 cm
-1, coefficients of the models(
R2) for
TA and
TE are 96.73% and 99.58% respectively, and the root mean square errors of cross validation
(RMSECV) for
TA and
TE are 0.048 g/L and 0.085 g/L respectively. Then the models were tested. Results show that
R2 for
TA and
TE are 99.2% and 99.7% respectively, and the root mean square errors of prediction
(RMSEP) are 0.074 g/L, 0.134 g/L respectively. These suggest the models of
TA and
TE are reliable with good predictability and can meet the requirement of quick determination of
TA and
TE in liquor production.
