Simultaneous quantification of total flavonoids and phenolic content in raw peanut seeds via NIR spectroscopy coupled with integrated algorithms.

Abstract

Peanuts are nutritionally valuable for both humans and animals due to their high content of flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Herein, we explored the potential of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled with efficient variable selection algorithms for quantitative prediction of total flavonoids (TFC) and total phenolics content (TPC) in raw peanut seeds. Spectrophotometrically, the reference results of the extracts for TFC and TPC were analysed and recorded. The integrated application of the synergy interval coupled competitive adaptive reweighted sampling-partial least squares (Si-CARS-PLS) were used for prediction. The model performance appraisal was based on the correlation coefficients of prediction (Rp), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), and residual predictive deviation (RPD). The Si-CARS-PLS performed optimally for TFC (Rp = 0.9137, RPD = 2.49) and TPC (Rp = 0.9042, RPD = 2.31), respectively. Moreover, the model (Si-CARS-PLS) was found to have an acceptable fit for the analytes under study since it achieved 0.88 for TFC and 0.86 for TPC based on the external validation. Therefore, these results showed that NIR coupled with Si-CARS-PLS could be used for the quantitative prediction of flavonoids and phenolic contents in raw peanut seeds.
