[Determination of photosynthetic pigments in citrus leaves based on hyperspectral images datas].

The effective region was segmented from the hyperspectral image of citrus leaf by threshold method with the average spectrum extracted and used to describe the corresponding leaf. Based on the different spectral pre-processing methods, the prediction models of three photosynthetic pigments (i. e., chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid) were calibrated by partial least squares (PLS), BP neural network (BPNN) and least square support vector machine (LS-SVM). The LS-SVM model for chlorophyll a was established based on multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), and the correlation coefficient (Rp) and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.898 3 and 0.140 4, respectively. The LS-SVM model for chlorophyll b with Rp = 0.912 3 and RMSEP = 0.042 6, was established based on standard normal variable (SNV). The PLS model for carotenoid was established with Rp = 0.712 8 and RMSEP = 0.062 4 based on moving average smoothing (MAS), but the result was no better than the other two. The results illustrated that these three photosynthetic pigments could be nondestructively and real time estimated by hyperspectral image.

Effects of Geographical Origin and Tree Age on the Stable Isotopes and Multi-Elements of Pu-erh Tea.

Pu-erh tea is a famous tea worldwide, and identification of the geographical origin of Pu-erh tea can not only protect manufacture's interests, but also boost consumers' confidence. However, tree age may also influence the fingerprints of Pu-erh tea. In order to study the effects of the geographical origin and tree age on the interactions of stable isotopes and multi-elements of Pu-erh tea, 53 Pu-erh tea leaves with three different age stages from three different areas in Yunnan were collected in 2023. The δ13C, δ15N values and 25 elements were determined and analyzed. The results showed that δ13C, δ15N, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu had significant differences among different geographical origins (p < 0.05). Mn content was significantly influenced by region and tree age interaction. Based on multi-way analysis of variance, principal component analysis and step-wised discriminant analysis, 24 parameters were found to be closely related to the geographical origin rather than tree age, and the geographical origin of Pu-erh tea can be 100.0% discriminated in cross-validation with six parameters (δ13C, δ15N, Mn, Mg, La, and Tb). The study could provide references for the establishment of a database for the traceability of Pu-erh tea, and even the identification of tea sample regions with different tree ages.
