Article Synopsis
- The demand for organic cocoa beans has led to food fraud issues like mislabeling and adulteration, prompting calls for verification of authenticity in international markets.
- This study developed robust models using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and chemometric techniques to quickly classify cocoa beans as organic or conventional, finding distinct differences in fluorescence intensity and peak wavelengths.
- Advanced classification models like Linear Discriminant Analysis and Neural Networks demonstrated high accuracy rates (up to 100%) in distinguishing between the two types, showing that this method can help ensure integrity and reduce fraud in the cocoa supply chain.
