“…Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, the traditional technique espoused by the high sensitivity of conformational change and high-quality spectra, has been validated that it was a powerful tool for metabolite analysis of mushrooms (Baltacıoglu, Bayındırlı, Severcan, & Severcan, 2015;Ma et al, 2018;O'Gorman, Downey, Gowen, Barry-Ryan, & Frias, 2010). In the study of Qi, Zhang, Liu, Li, and Wang (2017), they identified B. edulis and B. tomentipes stemmed from different geographical origins using FT-IR combined with chemometrics including principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Comprised of FT-IR spectra and other analytical techniques, there also other published literatures concerning about discrimination research using data fusion strategy which is an extension of the study mentioned above (Qi, Li, Liu, Li, & Wang, 2018;Yao, Li, Li, Liu, & Wang, 2018a;Yao, Li, Liu, Li, & Wang, 2018b).…”
