Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food safety technology, specifically to a volatile organic compound detection device and method based on olfactory visualization technology. Background Technology

[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a class of organic compounds that readily evaporate at room temperature. Food spoilage involves the action of microorganisms and enzymes, which produce and decompose a range of organic compounds, including a large number of VOCs such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone. These VOCs not only affect the sensory quality of food but may also pose health risks. Therefore, measures must be taken during food processing, storage, and transportation to prevent spoilage and the release of harmful substances.

[0003] Currently, there are many methods for detecting volatile organic compounds. The following are some commonly used methods:

[0004] (1) Gas chromatography (GC): GC is an analytical method based on the principle of chemical separation that can separate complex mixtures into individual compounds for qualitative and quantitative analysis. This method is suitable for the analysis of volatile organic compounds.

[0005] (2) Mass Spectrometry (MS): MS is a chemical analysis technique that converts compounds into charged ions and performs qualitative and quantitative analysis based on their mass spectrometric properties. This method can be used in conjunction with GC to improve the detection sensitivity of volatile organic compounds.

[0006] (3) Infrared spectroscopy (IR): IR is an analytical method based on molecular vibration and rotation, which can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the structure of organic and inorganic compounds. This method is suitable for detecting some types of volatile organic compounds.

[0007] (4) Low-flow activated carbon adsorption tube-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (L-LPAS-GC-MS): This technology combines three techniques: low-flow activated carbon adsorption tube, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, and can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile organic pollutants.

[0008] The above methods can all detect volatile organic compounds released during food quality deterioration to some extent, but they all have some drawbacks, such as cumbersome operation, long detection time, expensive instruments, and difficulty in achieving online real-time analysis.

[0009] Based on the reaction between specific color-sensitive materials and the volatile organic compounds to be detected, corresponding color-sensitive sensors for capturing volatile organic compounds can be used to achieve qualitative classification and quantitative analysis of the organic gases to be detected. Metalloporphyrins can undergo coordination reactions with organic gases, resulting in changes in their energy. This change can be characterized in the visible light spectrum, sufficient for the analysis and detection of organic gases.

[0010] Based on the above detection methods, an automated device for detecting volatile organic compounds has been developed, which has important practical significance for food quality testing. Summary of the Invention

[0011] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a volatile organic compound (VOC) detection device based on olfactory visualization, enabling rapid quantitative analysis of VOCs. This invention can fabricate a color-sensitive sensor printed with metalloporphyrins to acquire the volatile gases of organic compounds, conduct coordination reactions with them, and use a 3CCD industrial camera to detect and analyze the changes in image data before and after the reaction with the volatile gases of organic compounds.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a volatile organic compound detection device based on olfactory visualization technology. The device includes a fixed frame, a control module, a detection platform, a pipette and image acquisition device, a sensor control device, and a device housing.

[0013] The internal structure of the device consists of a fixed frame, a control module, a detection platform, a pipette, an image acquisition device, and a sensor control device.

[0015] The control module is used to control the operation of the pipette, image acquisition device, and sensor control device in the detection platform area;

[0016] The overall structure of the device is assembled from the outer shell and the internal structure.

[0017] The control module includes a Raspberry Pi or a module with the same function, a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and a servo system; the Raspberry Pi or a module with the same function acts as the host computer, which is electrically connected to the PLC; the PLC acts as the slave computer and is electrically connected to the servo system, the pipette, the image acquisition device, and the sensor control device.

[0018] The Raspberry Pi acts as the host computer, issuing commands to the PLC. The PLC, as the slave computer, receives and feeds back the commands from the host computer and configures the servo system according to the commands to control the pipette, image acquisition device, and sensor control device.

[0019] The detection platform includes a support frame, with the two ends of the support frame referred to as the first end and the second end. Along the direction from the first end to the second end, a pipette box, a reagent bottle box, a reaction chamber, and a waste box are sequentially arranged on the support frame. The pipette box is used to hold pipette tips; the reagent bottle box is used to hold reagent bottles containing color-sensitive materials; and the waste box is used to hold discarded pipette tips.

[0020] The pipette and image acquisition device include an electric push rod 1, a lead screw module, an electric push rod 2, a pipette, a moving track, and an image acquisition device;

[0021] The PLC is electrically connected to electric actuator one to control its movement. Electric actuator one is connected to the pipette and is used to control the up and down movement of the pipette. The PLC is also electrically connected to electric actuator two to control its movement. Electric actuator two is used to control the pipette to draw and add color-sensitive material solution and to eject the pipette tip. The PLC is also electrically connected to the lead screw module, which is used to control the movement of pipette 4.4 and the image acquisition device along the moving track.

[0022] Furthermore, the first electric linear actuator is specifically an electric linear actuator BMNTL30, and the second electric linear actuator is an electric linear actuator BMNTL10; the image acquisition device is a 3CCD industrial camera; the moving speed range of the electric linear actuator BMNTL30 is 10-50 mm / s, and the moving speed range of the electric linear actuator BMNTL10 is 0-30 mm / s.

[0023] The sensor control device includes stepper motor one and stepper motor two, a color sensor mounting plate and a synchronous belt module; the PLC is connected to stepper motor one and stepper motor two, stepper motor one is connected to the color sensor mounting plate, and stepper motor two is connected to the synchronous belt module.

[0024] The PLC is used to control the operation of stepper motor one and stepper motor two. Stepper motor one is used to control the rotation of the color sensor mounting plate, and stepper motor two is used to control the operation of the synchronous belt module. The synchronous belt module is used to control the up and down movement of the color sensor mounting plate. The color sensor mounting plate is used to fix the color sensor.

[0025] The device housing has a viewing window and control buttons on its surface; the viewing window is used to observe the operation of the internal structure; the control buttons are connected to the Raspberry Pi and are used to control the device to turn on and off.

[0026] Furthermore, the color-sensitive sensor is composed of a color-sensitive material (which has a specific color-developing effect on the gas emitted by the sample being detected); the color-sensitive material includes, but is not limited to, porphyrin, pyrrole, and pH indicator.

[0027] Furthermore, the image acquisition device is equipped with an LED light source; the image acquisition device includes a 3CCD industrial camera.

[0028] Furthermore, when the color sensor mounting plate moves downward, it aligns with the reaction chamber to allow the reaction to proceed within the chamber.

[0029] Furthermore, when the screw module controls the pipette to move along the moving track, once it reaches above the detection platform, the pipette can be moved to the pipette box, reagent bottle box, reaction chamber, and waste box to perform corresponding operations through the control of the moving track.

[0030] Furthermore, when the image acquisition device reaches the position of the color sensor fixing plate to acquire an image, the stepper motor controls the color sensor fixing plate to rotate, ensuring that the front of the color sensor is aligned with the image acquisition device so as to acquire the image of the color sensor.

[0031] Through the cooperation of various components, the color sensor can complete the fabrication, reaction, and data acquisition within the detection device, achieving the effect of detecting volatile organic compounds.

[0032] The Raspberry Pi includes a storage module for storing detection models of volatile organic compounds and the corresponding algorithms for building these models. Once connected to a computer, the existing detection models and algorithms in the storage module can be used directly. The detection model is established by combining the RGB, HSV, or Lab data of the sample image with the physicochemical indicators of the organic compounds.

[0033] The sample image is a color sensor image captured by an image acquisition device before and after the reaction between the color sensor and the organic compound in the reaction chamber; the RGB, HSV, and Lab data are the RGB, HSV, and Lab difference data of the color sensor before and after the reaction.

[0034] The present invention also provides a method for detecting volatile organic compounds using a device based on olfactory visualization technology, the steps of which are as follows:

[0035] Step 1: Image acquisition of the sample before and after the reaction;

[0036] S1. First, fix the color sensor on the color sensor mounting plate, fill the pipette box with pipette tips, put the reagent bottle containing the color-sensitive material solution into the reagent bottle box, and put the sample to be tested into the reaction chamber.

[0037] Preferably, the color-sensitive material in step S1 includes, but is not limited to, porphyrin, pyrrole, and pH indicator, and the concentration of the color-sensitive material solution is 2 mg / mL.

[0038] S2. Press the equipment control button to start the equipment operation;

[0039] S3. After the equipment is started, the electric push rod in the PLC controls the pipette to move downwards and to the top of the detection platform. First, the pipette contacts the tip in the pipette box. The push rod pushes the pipette to install the tip.

[0040] S4. After the pipette tip is installed, the PLC controls the electric actuator one to move the pipette upwards and return it to its initial position. Then, the PLC controls the lead screw module to move, and the lead screw module controls the pipette to move along the moving track to the reagent bottle box. The PLC controls the electric actuator one to move the pipette downwards, so that the pipette tip extends into the reagent bottle containing the color-sensitive material solution in the reagent bottle box. Then, combined with the control of the electric actuator two, the color-sensitive material solution is aspirated.

[0041] S5. The PLC controls the pipette to move upward through the electric push rod one. After returning to the initial height, the screw module controls the pipette to move along the moving track to the color sensor. When the pipette tip contacts the color sensor, the PLC controls the electric push rod two to operate, so that the pipette drops the color-sensitive material solution onto the surface of the color sensor.

[0042] Preferably, the amount of color-sensitive material solution added is 10-30 μL.

[0043] S6. After the addition, the screw module controls the pipette to move along the moving track to the top of the waste box. The electric push rod 2 controlled by the PLC pushes the used pipette tip into the waste box. Then, the image acquisition device is used to acquire the image of the color sensor to obtain the initial image of the color sensor.

[0044] S7. After image acquisition, the color sensor mounting plate is rotated by stepper motor 1 so that the color sensor faces downward. The synchronous belt module controls the color sensor mounting plate to move downward so that the color sensor fits into the reaction chamber, forming a closed space, which facilitates the reaction between the sample in the reaction chamber and the color sensor.

[0045] Preferably, the reaction time in step S7 is 15-20 min.

[0046] S8. After the reaction, the synchronous belt module controls the color sensor fixing plate to move upward, and the stepper motor controls the color sensor fixing plate to rotate, so that the color sensor faces upward and returns to the initial position; the image acquisition device takes another picture of the color sensor after the reaction to obtain the reaction image.

[0047] S9. The pipette and image acquisition device return to their initial positions, and image acquisition ends.

[0048] Step 2: Near-infrared spectrum acquisition of the color-sensitive sensor

[0049] The spectral data of the color-sensitive sensor after the reaction is collected by a spectral acquisition device;

[0050] Step 3: Determine the TVB-N of the sample using the national standard method.

[0051] According to Chinese National Standard GB 5009.228-2016, the TVB-N content of the sample was first determined by the automatic Kjeldahl nitrogen determination method and expressed in mg / 100g.

[0052] Step 4: Model Building

[0053] Extract the RGB values ​​of the images before and after the color sensor reaction in step one, subtract the two to obtain the RGB difference, and then use the PCA algorithm to analyze and obtain the weight of the color-sensitive material in the RGB information of the original image. Multiply the weight value obtained from the image RGB information with the spectral data obtained in step two, and then form a new matrix from the multiplied data. Combine the TVB-N value of the corresponding sample obtained in step three, and then use the ACO, CARS, and VCPA algorithms to filter the variables in sequence to establish a PLS model. The obtained PLS model is stored in the storage module of the Raspberry Pi.

[0054] Step 5: Detection of volatile organic compounds in unknown samples

[0055] By using the device of this invention to acquire color-sensitive sensor image information of an unknown sample before and after the reaction, and to acquire near-infrared spectral information of the color-sensitive sensor after the reaction, the RGB difference of the color-sensitive sensor is automatically calculated by the algorithm stored in the Raspberry Pi. Then, the PCA algorithm is used to analyze and obtain the weight of the color-sensitive material in the RGB information of the original image. The weight value obtained from the RGB information of the image is multiplied by the spectral data obtained in step two and substituted into the PLS model constructed in step four to obtain the content of volatile organic compounds of the unknown sample.

[0056] Beneficial effects:

[0057] This invention provides a volatile organic compound (VOC) detection device based on olfactory visualization, enabling rapid quantitative analysis of VOCs. The invention can fabricate a color-sensitive sensor printed with metalloporphyrins to acquire the volatile gases of organic compounds, conduct coordination reactions with them, and use a 3CCD industrial camera to detect and analyze the changes in image data before and after the reaction with the volatile gases of organic compounds. Combined with appropriate chemometric methods, rapid quantitative analysis of organic gases can be achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0079] A method for detecting TVB-N released by oysters based on the above-mentioned device:

[0080] The volatile organic compound detection device based on olfactory visualization technology of the present invention was used to study the olfactory visualization technology of oysters at different freshness levels as follows.

[0081] This invention utilizes a color-sensitive sensor array prepared by a volatile organic compound (VOC) detection device based on olfactory visualization technology to detect oysters with different freshness levels. Simultaneously, the same sample is tested for VOCs with different concentrations using the national standard method. The data detected by the national standard method corresponds one-to-one with the data collected by the color-sensitive sensor, and a VOC detection model is established based on this.

[0082] Implementation example: Quantitative detection of TVB-N in oysters of different freshness levels (0 days, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days and 8 days).

[0083] A novel method for quantitative detection of TVB-N in oysters, the specific operation steps are as follows:

[0084] Step 1: Oyster Sample Preparation

[0085] Fresh oysters of similar size were selected, washed evenly with distilled water to remove surface impurities, and drained for 2 hours after peeling to obtain oyster meat as experimental samples. These samples were then placed at 4°C for later use. The 170 experimental samples were divided into 5 groups: 3 groups (102 samples each) served as the training set, and 2 groups (68 samples each) served as the prediction set. The training set was used to construct the TVB-N prediction model for oysters, and the prediction set was used to test the predictive performance of the model. The following experimental steps were repeated for all 170 samples.

[0086] Step 2: Preparation of the color-sensitive sensor array, its reaction with the sample, and image acquisition.

[0087] The following operations were performed on a total of 170 samples in the training and prediction sets.

[0088] Operating instructions:

[0089] S1. Fix a 4×4cm color sensor 5.5 on the color sensor mounting plate 5.3. Fill the pipette box 3.1 with pipette tips. Place six reagent bottles filled with color-sensitive material solutions in the reagent bottle box 3.2. The six color-sensitive materials are ① (5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin iron(III) chloride), ② (5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin palladium(II)), ③ (8-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-4,4-difluoroborate dipyrrolidine), ④ (cresol red), ⑤ (chlorophenol red), and ⑥ (anthocyanin). The concentration of the color-sensitive material solution is 2mg / mL. Place 10g of oyster sample into the reaction chamber 3.3.

[0090] S2. Press the equipment control button 6.2;

[0091] S3. After the equipment is started, the electric push rod 4.1 in PLC2.2 is controlled to move the pipette 4.4 downwards to the top of the detection platform 3. First, the pipette 4.4 contacts the pipette tip in the pipette box 3.1. The push rod pushes the pipette 4.4 to install the pipette tip.

[0092] S4. After the pipette tip is installed on the pipette 4.4, PLC 2.2 controls the electric actuator 4.1 to move the pipette 4.4 upwards and return it to its initial position. Then, PLC 2.2 controls the lead screw module 4.2 to move, and the lead screw module 4.2 controls the pipette 4.4 to move along the moving track 4.5 to the reagent bottle box 3.2. PLC controls the electric actuator 4.1 to move the pipette 4.4 downwards, so that the pipette tip of the pipette 4.4 extends into the reagent bottle 3.6 in the reagent bottle box 3.2 containing the color-sensitive material solution, and draws the color-sensitive material solution.

[0093] S5 and PLC2.2 control the pipette 4.4 to move upward via electric push rod 4.1. After returning to the initial height, the lead screw module 4.2 controls the pipette 4.4 to move along the moving track 4.5 to the color sensor 5.5. When the pipette tip contacts the color sensor 5.5, PLC2.2 controls the electric push rod 4.3 to operate, so that the pipette 4.4 drops the color-sensitive material solution onto the surface of the color sensor 5.5.

[0094] S6. After the addition, the lead screw module 4.2 controls the pipette 4.4 to move along the moving track 4.5 to above the waste container 3.4. The PLC 2.2 controls the electric push rod 4.3 to push the used pipette tip into the waste container 3.4. Then, the image acquisition device 4.6 is used to acquire the image of the color sensor 5.5 and obtain the initial image of the color sensor 5.5.

[0095] S7. After image acquisition, the stepper motor 5.1 controls the rotation of the color sensor fixing plate 5.3 so that the color sensor 5.5 faces downward. The synchronous belt module 5.4 controls the color sensor fixing plate 5.3 to move downward so that the color sensor 5.5 fits into the reaction chamber 3.3 to form a closed space, which facilitates the reaction between the sample in the reaction chamber 3.3 and the color sensor 5.5.

[0096] S8. After the reaction, the synchronous belt module 5.4 controls the color sensor fixing plate 5.3 to move upward, and the stepper motor 5.1 controls the color sensor fixing plate 5.3 to rotate, so that the color sensor 5.5 faces upward and returns to the initial position; the image acquisition device 4.6 takes a picture of the color sensor 5.5 after the reaction to obtain the reaction image.

[0097] S9. The pipette and image acquisition device 4 return to their initial positions, and image acquisition ends.

[0098] After the operation is completed, the images of the color sensor before and after the reaction are transmitted to the computer connected to the device.

[0099] Step 3: Near-infrared spectrum acquisition of the color-sensitive sensor

[0100] The following operations were performed on a total of 170 samples in the training and prediction sets.

[0101] The spectral data of the colorimetric sensor after the reaction were collected using a fiber optic probe of a near-infrared spectrometer. The integration time was set to 5 ms, the number of scans was 10, and the pixel smoothness was set to 5. Data was collected three times to avoid errors, and the average value represents the final spectral data.

[0102] Step 4: Determine the TVB-N of the sample using the national standard method.

[0103] The following operations were performed on a total of 170 samples in the training and prediction sets.

[0104] According to Chinese National Standard GB 5009.228-2016, the TVB-N content of 170 samples was determined by the automated Kjeldahl method.

[0105] Specifically: Place 10g of chopped oysters in a distillation tube and soak in 75mL of distilled water for 30 minutes. Then add 1g of magnesium oxide (MgO) to the distillation tube containing the treated sample and immediately connect it to the distiller. Set the concentration of the 20g / L boric acid receiving solution to 30mL. Add 10 drops of a mixed indicator solution (methyl red ethanol solution: bromocresol green ethanol solution = 1:5), and then distill for 3 minutes. Titrate the receiving solution with 0.1mol / L hydrochloric acid standard titrant. Calculate the TVB-N content and express it in mg / 100g.

[0106] Step 5: Model Building

[0107] After the experiment, the RGB values ​​of the color-sensitive sensor images of the 102 training set samples collected in step (2) were extracted from the computer connected to the device. The RGB values ​​of the images before and after the reaction were subtracted to obtain the RGB difference.

The weight values ​​obtained from the image RGB information were multiplied by the near-infrared spectral data of the corresponding color-sensitive materials of the 102 training set samples obtained in step (3), and then they were combined to form a new matrix. Combined with the TVB-N values ​​of the 102 samples obtained in step (4), and the variables were screened in sequence using the ACO, CARS, and VCPA algorithms to establish the optimal PLS model, such as Figure 7 As shown.

[0108] To verify the stability of the model, the RGB values ​​of the color-sensitive sensor images of the 68 prediction set samples collected in step (2) were extracted by the computer connected to the device. The RGB values ​​of the images before and after the reaction were subtracted to obtain the RGB difference. The PCA algorithm was used to analyze and obtain the weight of each color-sensitive material in the RGB information of the original image. The weight values ​​obtained from the image RGB information were multiplied by the near-infrared spectral data of the corresponding color-sensitive materials of the 68 prediction set samples obtained in step (3). The obtained data were substituted into the above-mentioned optimal PLS model to verify the method. The results showed that the method achieved a comprehensive recognition rate of 0.9128 for all samples, indicating that the method can quantitatively detect TVB-N released during the oyster decay process.
