The potential of predicting maturity using total soluble solids (TSS) and identifying organic from inorganic pineapple fruits based on near-infrared (NIR) spectra fingerprints would be beneficial to farmers consumers alike. In this study, a portable NIR spectrometer chemometric techniques were combined simultaneously identify organically produced conventionally ones (thus inorganic) also predict solids. A 90 intact scanned with the while digital refractometer was used measure TSS extracted...
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) combined with multivariate techniques has been used in identifying antimalarial herbal plants (AMHPs) based on their geographical origin. The AMHP samples were collected from four origins (Abrafo, Jukwa, Nfuom, and Akotokyere) the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana. LIF spectra data recorded samples. Utilizing techniques, a training set for first two principal components of was modeled through use K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector nachine (SVM), linear...
<p class="1Body">Malaria parasites, <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (<em>P.falciparum</em>) infections are taking a great toll on the lives of people worldwide, especially in developing countries. Recently, haemozoin detection using optical techniques tends to provide comparable parasite densities (PDs) estimation. We conducted feasibility studies <em>P.falciparum</em> infected blood (<em>i</em>-blood) and uninfected...
Laser-induced autofluorescence (LIAF), combined with multivariate techniques, has been used to discriminate a cataractous lens from healthy tissues. In this study, 405 nm and 445 were as excitation sources induce the autofluorescence. Results show higher intensity in tissues than ones. Cataractous red shift of 0.9 1.2 at excitations, respectively. Using principal component analysis (PCA), three components (PCs) gave more 99% variability for both sources. Based on PCs, Fisher’s linear...
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Current methods for discriminating cataractous lenses from healthy Sprague-Dawley rats during preclinical studies based on either histopathological or clinical assessments which weakened by subjectivity. In this work, both and lens tissues were studied using multispectral imaging technique in combination with multivariate analysis. Multispectral images captured transmission, reflection scattering modes. all, five spectral bands found to...
Color is essential for the fashion and art of fabrics, with its retention being a quality measure great significance brand user. The colorfastness some metallic fabrics has been established using absorption spectroscopy, by determining quantity dye that bled after undergoing wash laundry processes. Two ( X Y ) washing detergents (liquid powdered) were used. washed GyroWash machine set normal (40°C) hot (60°C) durations 60 min 90 min. There was repeat second wash. wastewater each (sample)...
Multi-spectral imaging (MSI) has made diagnosis of microscopic samples considerably easier and information abound. Most MSI systems use continuum light sources filters for purposes. However, these are relatively expensive, unstable due to extreme pressure temperature associated with prolong acquisition time. In this work, we present a metallurgical microscope retrofitted light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as illumination microscopy. This multispectral LED (MSLEDIM) is cheaper capable acquiring...
Laser-induced fluorescence in combination with multivariate analysis as a simple, rapid and non-destructive method for classifying anti-malarial herbal plants is presented. A suitable alternative that enhances safety objectivity.
An onsite technique for determining drug integrity in sub-Saharan Africa is needed ensuring and enhancing public health.
Shelf life of bottled natural fruit juice (BNFJ) provides relevant information on quality and authenticity for consumer protection. However, existing techniques monitoring the shelf BNFJ are destructive time-consuming. We report using laser-induced autofluorescence (LIAF) spectroscopic technique in combination with multivariate analysis BNFJ. The LIAF spectra data were acquired nine (9) continuous days three batches samples purchased from a certified retailer. Deconvolution revealed...
Plasmodium falciparum ( P. ) malarial degree of infection, termed as parasite density (PD), estimation is vital for point-of-care diagnosis and treatment the disease. In this work, we present application optical techniques: absorption multispectral imaging byproduct (hemozoin) detection in human‐infected blood samples to estimate PD. The were collected from volunteers who tested positive infections i -blood), after treatment, another set u -blood) also taken. -blood grouped based on PD (+,...
