Abstract:
The electronic nose technology with 10 sensor channels was used to determine and analyze the flavor components of red
Zanthoxylum bungeanum from 6 different major producing areas in China, including Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum, for the identification of Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) were performed on 6
Zanthoxylums bungeanum from different origins using the differential analysis of distribution profile of flavor components of sensor responses, and the discriminant model of Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum was established. The results showed that both PCA and LDA models could distinguish Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum from other 5 red
Zanthoxylums bungeanum, respectively. The "Yes or No" discrimination model of Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum was established with PLS-DA. The prediction ability parameter (
Q2) and goodness of fit parameter (
R2) of the model were 0.947 and 0.968, respectively. The results of cross validation and permutation showed that the identification model did not overfitting, and the identification model was robust and effective. At the same time, Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum doped other kinds of red
Zanthoxylum bungeanum samples with 5%, 10%, 30% and 50% were determined and analyzed. LDA and PLS-DA identification models could accurately identify the doped samples from pure Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum. In this study, by means of electronic nose technology and stoichiometry theory and method, other red
Zanthoxylum bungeanum from different origins and adulterated Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum was accurately identified with pure Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum, which provided a new technical reference for the protection of China National Geographic Indication Products, quality control and origin tracing of Hanyuan
Zanthoxylum bungeanum.
