Abstract:To explore a rapid prototype to determine Ganoderma lucidum extraction (GLE) adulterated with starches, a correlative model consisting of near infrared spectrum and the contents of adulteration were established. The contents of adulteration in GLE samples were predicted using near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) combined with partial least squares (PLS). After scanning starch content 5%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the GLE samples and choice of the wave number and the pretreatment of the spectral, the model was established by PLS. The results of cross validation showed that with the wavelengths of 8 000 to 7 500 cm-1, 6 000 to 5 500 cm-1, 5 000 to 4 000 cm-1, the pretreatment of MSC and 8 factors, the calibration coefficient of determination (Rcal), root mean standard error cross validation (RMSECV), validation coefficient of determination (Rval), and root mean standard error cross prediction (RMSEP) of the model were 0.9962, 0.0249, 0.9960, and 0.0241, respectively. The model was used to verify samples and the statistical results showed that there is no significant difference between the predictive and actual values. It provides the basis for Ganoderma lucidum extraction functional food.
