In this study, discrimination of Chinese yellow wines from Shaoxing, Shandong, and Hubei in China has been carried out according to volatile flavor components. A total of 122 yellow wine samples were characterized by gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (GC–IMS). A simple color mixing method was visually used to select characteristic peaks based on the RGB color model. Then, the volatile organic compounds corresponding to the selected characteristic peaks were identified via library searching, and the height values of those peaks were arranged for further chemometric pretreatment. Principal component analysis was employed to reveal significant differences and potential patterns between samples. Finally, quadratic discriminant analysis was applied to develop a classification model and achieved a correct classified rate of 95.35% for the prediction set. The results prove that the aroma composition combined with chemometric tools can be used as a fingerprinting technique to protect the product of origin and enable the authenticity of Chinese yellow wine.
In this work, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was used to analyze the volatile organic compound changes of rapeseed oil with different refined grades, the odor fingerprints of refined rapeseed oil were constructed, and a nonlinear model was built to realize rapid and accurate discrimination of rapeseed oil with different refined grades. 124 rapeseed oil samples with different refined grades were collected and analyzed by GC-IMS and chemometric tools, and 34 characteristic peaks were selected by the colorized difference method as variables to characterize the internal quality in rapeseed oil of different refined grades. The principal component analysis algorithm was used to further reduce dimensionality and extract the most relevant information. The k-nearest neighbor algorithm was applied to build a discriminant model. All the samples were recognized accurately without errors, and the results show the potential of this method to discriminate different refined grades of vegetable oil.
