ABSTRACT
Species identification is very important in forensic science case. However, the existing methods in forensic practice to identifying the species of bone and teeth are not objective, accurate or brief enough. We have reported the classification of bone species by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and chemometric methods. Here we further use this method to realize the rapid detection of teeth species. 50 teeth samples from human and non-human (bovine, dog, rat, rabbit) were used in this study. Uncontrolled environment conditions were set to simulate real forensic casework. Teeth sample were prepared by grinding powder and pressed into KBr tablet, then the spectral data were collected. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used in the study. The internal and external validations of PLS-DA results were 97.1% and 93.3% accuracy, respectively. The results illustrate that FT-IR spectroscopy be used as a practical tool to identify species of unknown teeth.
