Abstract

Grape is the most consumed nectar in Brazil and a relatively expensive beverage. Therefore, it is susceptible to fraud by substitution with other less expensive fruit juices. Adulterations of grape nectars by the addition of apple juice, cashew juice, and mixtures of both were evaluated by using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) and supervised multivariate classification methods. Two different approaches were investigated using one-class (only unadulterated samples (UN) were modeled) and multiclass (three classes were modeled: UN, adulterated with cashew (CAS), and adulterated with apple (APP)) strategies. For the one-class approach, soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA), one-class partial least squares (OCPLS), and data-driven SIMCA (DD-SIMCA) models were built. For the multiclass approach, partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and multiclass SIMCA models were built. The results obtained demonstrated good performances by all the one-class methods with efficiency rates higher than 93%. For the multiclass approach, the classification of samples containing only one type of adulterant presented efficiencies higher than 90% and 97% using SIMCA and PLS-DA, respectively. The classification of samples containing blends of two adulterants was satisfactory for the CAS class, but not for the APP class when applying PLS-DA. Nevertheless, multiclass SIMCA did not provide satisfactory predictions for either of these two classes.
