Using a Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging system to predict alpha amylase activity in individual Canadian western wheat kernels
Tóm tắt
Sprout damage (pre-harvest germination) in wheat results in highly deleterious effects on end-product quality. Alpha-amylase, the pre-dominant enzyme in the early stage of sprouting has the most damaging effect. This paper introduces a new method using a SWIR hyperspectral imaging system (1000–2500 nm) to predict the α-amylase activity of individual wheat kernels. Two classes of Canadian wheat, Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and Canada Western Amber Durum (CWAD), with samples of differing degrees of sprout damage were investigated. Individual kernels were first imaged with the hyperspectral imaging system and then the α-amylase activity of each kernel was determined analytically. Individual kernel α-amylase activity prediction was significant (R
2 0.54 and 0.73) for CWAD and CWRS, respectively using Partial Least Square regression on the hyperspectral data. A classification method is proposed to separate CWRS kernels with high α-amylase activity level from those with low α-amylase activity giving an accuracy of above 80%. This work shows that hyper/multi-spectral imaging techniques can be used for rapidly predicting the α-amylase activity of individual kernels, detecting sprouting at early stage.
