Didactic experiment of chemometrics for the classification of edible vegetable oils by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and partial least squares discriminant analysis: a tutorial, part V

A teaching experiment on supervised pattern recognition in chemometrics was proposed in this tutorial to introduce partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). A new approach of the experiment published in the first tutorial of this series was revisited and employed to the classification of edible vegetable oils. The spectra of olive, canola, soybean and corn oils were obtained using an attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectrometer in the range of 600 to 4000 cm-1. The combination of ATR-FTIR and PLS-DA classification method was able to correctly classify 100% of the validation samples. The Matlab commands, routines and functions were presented, and a didactic explanation of the concepts and interpretation of the data was provided433371381CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPESFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP465389/2014-7; 303994/2017-7não tem2014/50867
