Multiple adulteration is a commonly used fraud of illegal traders to mask the traditional adulteration detection methods. In this study, rapid detection of multiple adulteration of sesame oil was proposed using a portable Raman spectrometer. Two strategies including simplex theory of mixtures and D-optimal mixture design were used to conduct variable selection and model evaluation, respectively. Based on simplex theory of mixtures, the important variables were selected by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis of preprocessed Raman spectra of sesame oils and four adulterant oils. Moreover, multiple adulteration identification model was built by one-class partial least squares and validated by representative adulterated samples prepared by D-Optimal mixture design. The validation results show that 40 sesame oils adulterated with four types of adulterant oils can be correctly identified, indicating Raman spectroscopy is an effective tool for the detection of multiple adulteration of sesame oil, especially for on-site applications.

The fast and accurate quantitative detection of camellia oil products is significant for multiple reasons. In this study, rice bran oil and corn oil, whose Raman spectra both hold great similarities with camellia oil, are blended with camellia oil, and the concentration of each composition is predicted by models with varying feature extraction methods and regression algorithms. Back propagation neural network (BPNN), which has been rarely investigated in previous work, is used to construct regression models, the performances of which are compared with models using random forest (RF) and partial least squares regression (PLSR).

Grape seed extract (GSE), one of the world's bestselling dietary supplements, is prone to frequent adulteration with chemically similar compounds. These frauds can go unnoticed within the supply chain due to the use of unspecific standard analytical methods for quality control. This research aims to develop a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) method for the rapid and non-destructive quantitative evaluation of GSE powder in the presence of multiple additives.

The University of Kentucky's Drug Quality Task Force (DQTF) conducted a study to perform consumer-level quality assurance screening of vasopressin injections used in their healthcare pharmacies. The primary objective was to identify potential quality defects by examining intralot and interlot variability using Raman spectrometry and statistical analyses. Raman spectra were collected noninvasively and nondestructively from vasopressin vials (n=51) using a Thermo Scientific Smartraman DXR3 Analyzer.

Currently, the identification and quantification of complex adulteration of high-value vegetable oils are still challenging. In this study, the extreme vertex design method was adopted to design representative multivariate adulterated camellia oil samples. Thereafter, 11 characteristic lipid species were identified by considering the statistically significant difference and categorical contribution.
