Chemometrics-assisted excitation–emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy for rapid identification of commercial reconstituted and sweetened grape juices

Abstract

As a common fruit juice, grape juice is delicious and nutritious, making it very popular among consumers. However, some illegal manufacturers used shoddy products to lower costs and obtain high profits, which seriously threatens the health and interests of consumers. Hence, this paper proposed excitation–emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods for the rapid identification and classification of commercial grape juices. Spectral characterization of different samples was achieved using the alternating trilinear decomposition (ATLD) algorithm, and chemically meaningful information was obtained and analyzed. Although both reconstituted and sweetened grape juices contain methyl anthranilate (MA) and 2′-aminoacetophenone (o-AAP), the content of MA in sweetened grape juice far exceeds that in reconstituted grape juice, and the MA in sweetened grape juice mainly comes from artificially added grape essence. Then two chemometric methods of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used for the classification of reconstituted and sweetened grape juices. The results showed that the supervised classification model had a higher correct classification rate (CCR) than the unsupervised classification model, with PLS-DA obtaining 100% CCRs in both training and prediction sets. Therefore, the proposed strategy can be used as a powerful analytical method for the identification and classification of reconstituted and sweetened grape juices and provides a reliable scientific means for ensuring the authenticity and safety of the juice market.
