Raman and Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy Coupled With Machine–Deep Learning for Adulterant Detection in Ground Turmeric
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The intricate nature of the global food supply chain and the presence of regulations spanning multiple jurisdictions contribute to an increased likelihood of food adulteration. This underscores the need for effective monitoring methods to guarantee the safety and nutritional quality of our food. In this context, the application of infrared spectroscopy-based techniques emerges as an environmentally friendly, non-invasive, and waste-minimizing solution for authenticating food products. Infrared spectra serve as unique molecular fingerprints, offering a multidimensional representation of how chemical bonds in the material interact with infrared light. Chemometrics, which are primarily linear-based models, play a crucial role in extracting essential information from spectral data, enabling dimensionality reduction, classification, and predictive analysis. Recent progress in the field of big data science and artificial intelligence has brought forth machine learning and deep learning algorithms explicitly designed to uncover features from complex multidimensional data, encompassing both linear and nonlinear relationships. These advancements have the potential to enhance the detection of adulterants in food products. This study assesses the accuracy of various shallow machine learning models and a deep learning model based on a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN). The evaluation is conducted using Raman and infrared spectral data obtained from ground turmeric samples that were deliberately adulterated with five distinct substances. The study highlights the improved classification accuracy achieved through the implementation of the 1D CNN model.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
