Comparison of various classification techniques for supervision of milk processing

Abstract

Detecting the types of anomalies that can occur throughout the milk processing process is an important task since it can assist providers in maintaining control over the process. The Raman spectrometer was used in conjunction with several classification approaches-linear discriminant analysis, decision tree, support vector machine, and k nearest neighbor-to establish a viable method for detecting different types of anomalies that may occur during the process-temperature and fat variation and added water or cleaning solution. Milk with 5% fat measured at 10 • C was used as the reference milk for this study. Added water, cleaning solution, milk with various fat contents and different temperatures were used to detect abnormal conditions. While decision trees and linear discriminant analysis were unable to accurately categorize the various type of anomalies, the k nearest neighbor and support vector machine provided promising results. The accuracy of the support vector machine test set and the k nearest neighbor test set were 81.4% and 84.8%, respectively. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that both algorithms are capable of appropriately classifying the various groups of samples. It can assist milk industries in determining what is wrong during milk processing.

Potential Antitumor Effect of Functional Yogurts Formulated with Prebiotics from Cereals and a Consortium of Probiotic Bacteria

“…The selected milk was normalized according to the methodology presented by Sadeghi Vasafi and collab. [ 49 ] from the point of view of lipid content. In this way, we have obtained two types of yogurts: Yogurts with low lipid content; Yogurts with normal lipid content.…”
