Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food quality testing, and in particular to a non-destructive testing device for oxidative deterioration of edible vegetable oils. Background Technology

[0002] Edible vegetable oils are easily affected by factors such as light, enzymes, and heat during storage, leading to oxidation, off-flavors, and negatively impacting the consumer's eating experience. Severely oxidized edible vegetable oils produce harmful substances that can not only cause food poisoning but also accelerate aging, leading to cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous system diseases, and even inducing cancer. More seriously, oil oxidation often occurs silently and is difficult to detect. By the time consumers consume the oil and realize it has oxidized and spoiled, harmful substances have already accumulated and exceeded the limits set forth in GB 2716-2018, "National Food Safety Standard for Vegetable Oils." Therefore, detecting the degree of oxidation and spoilage in edible vegetable oils is of great significance.

[0003] Methods for detecting the oxidation and deterioration of edible vegetable oils generally include the weight gain method, differential pressure scanning calorimetry, acid value method, iodometric method, thiobarbituric acid method, chromatography, mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. However, these methods have drawbacks such as being highly destructive to samples, time-consuming, costly, and using toxic reagents.

[0004] GB 2716-2018, the National Food Safety Standard for Vegetable Oils, stipulates that vegetable oils should have their proper color and odor. However, the oxidation of oils produces various oxidation products. These products dissolve in the vegetable oil, affecting not only its color but also its odor. Oxidative deterioration of oils generally manifests as a deepening of the oil's yellow or red color; and the emission of aromas such as gasoline, mint, rust, cucumber, roasted, caramel, chicken, and vinegar.

[0015] Furthermore, the CMOS camera is a color camera with a resolution of not less than 1920×1080. The lens of the CMOS camera has low distortion and achromatic design. The CMOS camera is connected to the computer via a GigE cable.

[0016] Furthermore, the lid and the perimeter of the compartment are made of black, light-blocking organic plastic, while the bottom of the compartment is made of transparent organic plastic.

[0022] Secondly, a non-destructive method for detecting the oxidative deterioration of edible vegetable oils is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0023] Step S1. Turn on the power, connect the MVS software to the CMOS camera of the vision inspection device, and connect the DAM-3000M software to the DAM-3055N. Set the gas sampling pump flow rate to 600 mL / min, calibrate it with the LZB-3WB glass rotor flow meter, and wash and preheat the gas for at least 1 hour.

[0024] Step S2. Take 200 mL of the oxidized edible vegetable oil sample to be tested and place it in the headspace chamber sample container. Secure the lid and capture and save the image information of the sample in the MVS software.

[0025] Step S3. MVS performs sampling, and the white balance is fixed at 1682-1024-1526. After the image stabilizes, the sample is saved. The white balance value is the camera white balance result when no edible vegetable oil sample is added to this device.

[0026] Step S4. Wait 90 minutes, then simultaneously open the No. 1 solenoid valve switch and the No. 2 solenoid valve switch to change the gas path, and collect 240 seconds of odor data in the DAM-3000M software.

[0027] Step S5. DAM-3000M performs sampling. Select the COM port connected to the acquisition module, search for the acquisition module at the preset baud rate, click the search result, enable saving when starting sampling, and click Start Sampling;

[0028] Step S6. Simultaneously close the No. 1 solenoid valve switch and the No. 2 solenoid valve switch, start gas washing, remove the sample container from the headspace chamber, replace the sample to be tested, and perform parallel measurements 5 times for each edible vegetable oil sample.

[0029] Step S7. Perform feature-level fusion on the color and odor data collected by this device, and divide this data into a test set and a training set. Use machine learning methods to obtain a predictive model of oil oxidation for subsequent use.

[0030] Furthermore, in step S2, the images obtained by the MVS software each day are segmented using Matlab software to uniformly divide the images into small images of 25×25 pixels. The color information of each small image is read and preserved as normalized results of red (R), green (G), blue (B), hue (H), saturation (S), a (green to red), and b (blue to yellow).

[0031] In step S4, the daily clean air signal baseline is subtracted from the daily electrical signal change data recorded by 14 different types of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors, and data for 100-104 seconds of each signal is extracted.

[0032] Further, in step S7, the color and gas data are fused into 21-dimensional feature data: R, G, B, H, S, a, b, TGS2619, WSP2110, MP905, MP503, MP801, MP702, MQ137, MP4, TGS2609, TGS2600, TGS2603, TGS2620, TGS2602, and MQ138.

[0034] Advantages of this invention:

[0035] This invention uses a camera and gas sensors to detect the oxidative deterioration of oils in edible vegetable oils. The entire process requires no chemical reagents and does not damage the edible vegetable oil. The prediction error for the peroxide value of edible vegetable oil does not exceed 0.01g / 100g, which is less than 4% of the maximum control limit for POV (0.25g / 100g), meeting the precision requirement of 10% in GB5009.227-2023 "National Food Safety Standard - Determination of Peroxide Value in Food".

The air chamber contains 14 different types of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors 203, which are distributed on both sides of the air chamber.

[0074] Compared to infrared, electrochemical, and other gas sensors, the metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor embedded in the gas chamber has higher sensitivity, longer lifespan, and similar response to a class of substances, making it more suitable for complex gases.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the CMOS camera 101 is a color camera, the sensor model of the CMOS camera 101 is IMX183, and the resolution of the CMOS camera 101 is not less than 1920×1080.

The aperture of the lens 106 is F2.4-F16, the distortion parameter is 0.39%, the image plane parameter is 1.2", and the resolution is 25 million pixels.

[0076] The CMOS camera 101 acquires signals using MVS software. The CMOS camera 101 is connected to the computer 8 via a GigE cable to enable communication between the two.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the 14 different types of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors 203 are model TGS2619, WSP2110, MP905, MP503, MP801, MP702, MQ137, MP4, TGS2609, TGS2600, TGS2603, TGS2620, TGS2602 and MQ138.

[0082] The models, accuracies, and detection objects of the embedded metal-oxide-semiconductor sensors are shown in Table 1:

[0083] Table 1. Model and parameter information of metal oxide sensors

[0084]

[0085]

[0086] The signal acquisition of the metal oxide semiconductor sensor 203 is achieved by a signal acquisition circuit. The signal acquisition circuits of gas sensors, categorized by the number of pins, are as follows: Figures 4-6 As shown.

[0087] The DAM-3055N was used as the load voltage VRL acquisition unit in the test circuit. The DAM-3055N has 16 differential analog inputs with an acquisition accuracy of 1‰, and is connected to the DAM-3000M computer software via RS-485. The sensor and channel correspondence is as follows: 0-TGS2619, 1-WSP2110, 2-MP905, 3-MP503, 4-MP801, 5-MP702, 6-MQ137, 9-MP4, 10-TGS2609, 11-TGS2600, 12-TGS2603, 13-TGS2620, 14-TGS2602, 15-MQ138. The load voltage change can then be detected in the DAM-3000M software.

[0088] The outer dimensions of the air chamber are 240mm×80mm×40mm, the inner dimensions of the air chamber are 170mm×30mm×40mm, and the wall thickness of the air chamber is 5mm.

[0089] The gas flow within the visual detection device 1 and the olfactory detection device 2 has been verified to meet the requirements through Fluent fluid simulation.

[0090] The working process of the device of the present invention:

[0091] Air, driven by the gas sampling pump 14, passes through an air filter, enters the headspace chamber through the visual inspection device inlet 102, and flows out through the visual inspection device outlet 104, carrying the gas components in the sample headspace into the olfactory inspection device inlet 201. The gas is detected by 14 metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors 203 distributed within the chamber, and exits through the olfactory inspection outlet 202, passing through the activated carbon filter 13 to the inlet of the gas sampling pump 14. The gas flow path switch is controlled by two 12V DC power supplies via two corresponding solenoid valve switches, which control the two-way and three-way solenoid valves respectively. A computer acquires visual inspection signals via a GigE line and obtains olfactory inspection signals acquired by the DAM-3055N via RS-485.

[0092] Sample addition optimization: The sample container 107 has dimensions of Φ100×100mm, the lens 106 of the CMOS camera 101 has a length of 60mm, and the usable volume is 200mL. Edible corn oil of 50mL, 100mL, 150mL, and 200mL was added to the sample container 107, and images were acquired using MVS software. The results showed that the optimal sample addition volume was 200mL.

[0093] Headspace time optimization: The inner wall dimensions of the visual inspection device 1 are Φ100×100mm, the wall thickness of the sample container 107 is negligible, and the volume of the lens 106 is approximately 100cm³. 3 The actual usable volume of the headspace chamber is approximately 700 mL. After placing a 200 mL sample of edible corn oil in the headspace of the visual detection device 1 for a period of time, the difference between the load voltage value VRL of the 14 metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors 203 of the olfactory detection device 2 at the 30th second and VRL0 under pure air was recorded. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, placing it in the headspace for 90 minutes is sufficient to meet the requirements of the olfactory detection system 2.

[0094] Sampling time optimization: After placing 200 mL of edible corn oil under headspace for 90 min, the load voltage was collected for 270 s using a DAM-3000M sampling pump at a flow rate of 600 mL / min. The results... Figure 8As shown, when solenoid valve switch 4 (number one) and solenoid valve switch 17 (number two) are pressed simultaneously, the data acquisition module begins recording data. The load voltage rises significantly within a short period, indicating that the gas collected in the headspace chamber is rapidly flowing into the gas chamber, triggering a response from the metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor. After reaching its maximum value, the load voltage continuously decreases as the pure air gradually dilutes the headspace gas, eventually reaching a stable state.

[0095] When the sampling time is within 0-50s, the load voltage rises sharply, resulting in the largest error in the sampling data. When the sampling time is greater than 150s, the load voltage is in a relatively stable state, at which point the headspace gas has completely flowed out of the gas chamber, and the change in the metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor is small, leading to a decrease in data resolution. When the sampling time is between 75-125s, the load voltage remains at a high response level, exhibiting strong resolution; and the voltage decreases slowly, resulting in a smaller error. Data from 100-104s is suitable for characterizing the odor information of edible vegetable oils in an oxidized state.

[0096] This invention also provides a non-destructive method for detecting the oxidative deterioration of edible vegetable oils, comprising the following steps:

[0097] Step S1. Turn on the power, connect the MVS software to the CMOS camera 101 of the vision inspection device 1, and connect the DAM-3000M software to the DAM-3055N10. The flow rate of the gas sampling pump 14 is 600 mL / min. It is calibrated with an LZB-3WB glass rotor flow meter. The gas is washed and preheated for at least 1 hour.

[0098] Step S2. Take 200 mL of the oxidized edible vegetable oil sample to be tested and place it in the headspace chamber sample container 107. Secure the lid 103 and capture and save the image information of the sample in the MVS software.

[0099] Step S3. MVS performs sampling, and the white balance is fixed at 1682-1024-1526. After the image stabilizes, the sample is saved. The white balance value is the camera white balance result when no edible vegetable oil sample is added to this device.

[0100] Step S4. Wait 90 minutes, then simultaneously open solenoid valve 4 (number 1) and solenoid valve 17 (number 2) to change the gas path, and collect 240 seconds of odor data in the DAM-3000M software.

[0101] Step S5. DAM-3000M performs sampling. Select the COM port connected to the acquisition module, search for the acquisition module at the preset baud rate, click the search result, enable saving when starting sampling, and click Start Sampling;

[0102] Step S6. Simultaneously close the first solenoid valve switch 4 and the second solenoid valve switch 17, start gas washing, remove the sample container 107 from the headspace chamber, replace the sample to be tested, and perform parallel measurements 5 times for each edible vegetable oil sample.

[0103] Step S7. Perform feature-level fusion on the color and odor data collected by this device, and divide this data into a test set and a training set. Use machine learning methods to obtain a predictive model of oil oxidation for subsequent use.

[0104] The sampling workflow diagram in step S5 is as follows: Figure 9 As shown.

[0105] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the images obtained by the MVS software each day are segmented using Matlab software to uniformly divide the images into small images of 25×25 pixels. The color information of each small image is read and retained as normalized results of red (R), green (G), blue (B), hue (H), saturation (S), a (green to red), and b (blue to yellow).

[0106] In step S4, the electrical signal change data recorded daily by 14 different types of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors 203 are subtracted from the daily pure air signal baseline, and data for each signal is extracted for 100-104 seconds.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S7, the color and gas data are fused into 21-dimensional feature data: R, G, B, H, S, a, b, TGS2619, WSP2110, MP905, MP503, MP801, MP702, MQ137, MP4, TGS2609, TGS2600, TGS2603, TGS2620, TGS2602, and MQ138.

[0108] In step S7, machine learning uses PLSR, MLP, and SVR as base learners and LR as a meta learner to stack the data.

[0109] The performance parameters of this invention were verified using three accelerated oxidation edible vegetable oil samples (F brand grade 1 soybean oil, grade 1 corn oil, and D brand grade 1 rapeseed oil) at 60°C.

[0110] The accelerated oxidation method employed was the Schaal oven method, which involved placing the oil sample open in a constant-temperature incubator, protecting it from light and keeping it dry, and increasing the temperature to accelerate the reaction rate. The final experimental conditions for accelerated oil oxidation were determined to be: light protection, constant temperature of 60℃, single unblended oil, no added enzymes or catalysts, oxygen concentration equal to air concentration, and neglecting mass transfer effects. Under these conditions, the degradation of hydrogen peroxide (LOOH) and other branching reactions were minimized.

[0111] For the above three types of edible vegetable oils, the device of this invention was used to continuously measure them for twenty days from the date of opening until they became inedible (peroxide value > 0.25g / 100g). The detection accuracy and other performance characteristics finally achieved by this invention are shown in Table 2.

[0112] Table 2 Performance of the regression model of this invention

[0113]

[0114] The detection error for oxidative deterioration of edible vegetable oils using this invention is no more than 0.01 g / 100 g. This value is equivalent to 4% of the maximum control limit for POV (0.25 g / 100 g), which is far superior to the 10% precision requirement in GB 5009.227-2016 "National Food Safety Standard for Vegetable Oils," demonstrating the superior performance of this invention. The method of this invention can be applied to the detection of room temperature oxidative deterioration and frying oxidative deterioration of edible vegetable oils.

[0115] The detection method using a camera and gas sensor in this invention is based on intelligent sensory technology. By simulating human senses, it replaces the human visual and olfactory systems with a sensor system, mapping signals from the physical world to the digital world. When a sample of edible vegetable oil is placed in the detection device, its color and odor information are captured by the camera and gas sensor, resulting in a signal response containing color and odor characteristics—a "fingerprint" information. This "fingerprint" information contains information related to the degree of oxidation and deterioration of the oil.

[0116] Based on the aforementioned intelligent sensory technology, this invention's device acquires image information of an edible vegetable oil sample placed above a surface light source at the bottom of the headspace chamber using a CMOS camera at the top of the headspace chamber. Odor components from the edible vegetable oil sample diffuse into the headspace portion of the headspace chamber and, under the action of a gas sampling pump, enter the olfactory detection device. The odor information is acquired by a gas sensor and converted into a digital signal by a DAM-3055N. The edible vegetable oil image and odor information data acquired by the device are divided into test and training sets. Using PLSR, MLP, and SVR models as base learners and LR as a meta-learner, the data is stacked to obtain a predictive model for oil oxidation. The detection error for edible vegetable oil oxidation and deterioration is no more than 0.01 g / 100 g, equivalent to 4% of the maximum control limit for peroxide value (POV) (0.25 g / 100 g). This device has the advantage of being able to identify the oxidation and deterioration of edible vegetable oils by non-destructively detecting changes in color and odor. It solves the problems of complex sample pretreatment, long processing time, and high technical requirements for testing personnel in existing oil deterioration detection methods.

[0117] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can still adjust the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
