Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of food industry, and specifically to a method and device for evaluating the quality of tea raw materials, a method for screening tea raw materials, and tea beverages. Background Art

[0002] In modern agriculture and the food industry, tea, as an important cash crop, is crucial for quality testing and evaluation. Tea quality is a comprehensive reflection of both its appearance and internal qualities. Rapid and accurate evaluation of tea quality is crucial for tea processing and trade.

[0003] Traditional tea quality testing relies primarily on manual sensory flavor evaluation. This method relies on the tea taster's professional experience and sensory judgment, which is subject to subjective errors and poor consistency. With the advancement of technology, spectral analysis and artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly being applied to tea quality testing. These include component analysis, as well as emerging technologies such as computer vision systems, near-infrared spectroscopy, electronic noses, and electronic tongues. Component analysis, which uses analytical instruments to examine the internal components of tea leaves, offers more accurate and objective results, but it cannot measure sensory flavors such as flavor and aroma, and is costly and highly destructive to samples. Computer vision systems use image sensors to acquire target image signals, then use image processing systems to convert these signals into digital signals and extract target feature information. While this method is fast, simple, and non-destructive, it currently primarily focuses on the appearance of fresh leaves and finished tea for quality analysis and classification. Electronic noses primarily detect aroma compounds, while electronic tongues primarily identify flavor compounds.

[0004] Sensory evaluation of tea is a fundamental method for assessing tea quality, offering advantages such as convenience, intuitiveness, and speed. However, this method requires high technical expertise from testers and is subject to significant subjective influences, resulting in subjective errors and poor consistency. Furthermore, from an industrial perspective, it also faces challenges with numerous batches and a heavy workload. Existing chemical analysis and physical testing methods require extensive equipment and specialized personnel, are complex to operate, and require long testing times, failing to meet the demands of modern agriculture and the food industry for rapid and efficient tea quality testing. Furthermore, existing tea quality testing technologies can only assess certain aspects of tea and cannot comprehensively and accurately reflect tea quality.

[0005] Therefore, how to quickly, accurately and non-destructively detect the quality of tea is an important issue facing the current field of tea quality detection technology. Summary of the Invention

[0080] In order to make the above-mentioned objectives, features and beneficial effects of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0081] Existing tea quality analysis is primarily guided by specific chemical analyses. These analyses typically attempt to correlate the amounts of specific compounds found in tea, such as caffeine, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and moisture, with its quality. However, there are some significant issues with this approach.

[0082] Initially, accurate measurement of these specific compounds could only be performed directly using chromatographic methods, which are typically coupled with either a UV detector (for low-end equipment) or a mass spectrometer (for high-end equipment). While these devices offer high accuracy, they are expensive to operate and maintain, have slow processing speeds, require extensive sample preparation, and require skilled personnel to operate and analyze the results.

[0083] Secondly, the ultimate determinant of tea quality is sensory (flavor and aroma). Knowing the content of only a few compounds does not translate well into the taste of tea, and even if the compounds are accurately analyzed, it is impossible to fully and reliably determine whether the tea sample in question has a certain quality.

[0084] Near-infrared spectroscopy, which uses light to penetrate a sample and generate signals based on the chemical compounds present, has recently been used to quantify these compounds associated with tea quality. However, these studies have required correlating NIR spectra with chromatographic results to create calibration curves to quantify the compounds of interest in blind samples.

[0085] In order to quickly, accurately and non-destructively evaluate the quality of tea, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for evaluating the quality of tea raw materials. A tea quality evaluation model is established by pre-integrating spectral technology and manual sensory evaluation. For the tea samples to be tested, their spectral data is obtained based on spectral technology, and the spectral data and the tea quality model are used to evaluate the quality of the tea.

[0086] The following first describes in detail the process of establishing the tea quality evaluation model in the embodiment of this application.

[0087] It should be noted that in some embodiments, a unified evaluation model can be trained for different types of tea. That is, regardless of the type of tea, the same tea quality model is used for evaluation. This tea quality evaluation model needs to be universal. Accordingly, during training, a large number of different types of tea samples need to be collected.

[0088] In some embodiments, tea can be categorized by fermentation level and processing method, for example, into green tea, white tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, black tea, and dark tea. A large number of tea samples can be collected for each category to train a tea quality assessment model for that category. This makes the tea quality assessment model for each category more targeted and enables more granular quality assessment.

[0089] It should be noted that other classification methods may also be used to classify tea, such as origin, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0090] The method for establishing the tea quality evaluation model described later is applicable to both of the above two different models. The only difference is the selection of tea samples.

[0091] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of establishing a tea quality evaluation model in an embodiment of the present application, which includes the following steps:

[0092] Step 101: Collect tea samples.

[0093] Step 102: Obtain the quality label corresponding to each tea sample determined based on sensory evaluation.

[0094] Specifically, experts can conduct a sensory evaluation of tea leaves, comparing them to standard samples to determine pass / fail. For example, ten professionally trained tea tasters could conduct a sensory evaluation of tea samples, comparing them to standard samples, and comprehensively assessing the tea samples' appearance (e.g., shape, tenderness, color, wholeness, clarity, etc.) and internal qualities (e.g., tea soup color, aroma, flavor, and leaf base) to determine whether the tea samples are acceptable. For example, tea with a total score of less than 80 points or an aroma score of less than 20 points against the standard samples would be considered unqualified and unsuitable for use in tea beverages. Tea with a total score of more than 90 points and an aroma and flavor score of 25 or above would be considered high-quality tea raw materials.

[0095] In some embodiments, various scores and standards may be compared to determine refined quality labels, such as using quality scores as labels.

[0096] It does not mean that the quality label can be "qualified" and "unqualified" or "score", which can be determined according to the application scenario of the tea quality evaluation model.

[0097] Step 103: Acquire spectral data of the tea sample obtained by near-infrared spectroscopy scanning.

[0098] Specifically, a specific spectrum analyzer may be used to scan the tea sample multiple times (eg, 2-10 times) to obtain corresponding spectrum data. Step 104: extract key features from the spectrum data.

[0099] In some embodiments, a principal component analysis (PCA) method may be used to extract key features of the spectral data.

[0100] PCA is a multivariate statistical analysis method that transforms a set of potentially correlated variables into a set of linearly uncorrelated variables through an orthogonal transformation. These new variables are called principal components. PCA is a statistical tool used for data dimensionality reduction and feature extraction, rather than directly identifying specific compounds or components. In spectral data analysis, PCA can extract the most important features from hundreds of wavelengths, reducing data dimensionality while retaining the most critical information.

[0101] The main steps of principal component analysis are as follows:

[0102] 1. Data standardization: Since spectral data involves multiple wavelengths, the data must first be standardized, such as using standard normalization or vector normalization, to ensure that the contribution of each wavelength is balanced.

[0103] 2. Calculate the covariance matrix: Calculate the covariance matrix of the spectral data to understand the correlation between different wavelengths.

[0104] 3. Eigenvalue decomposition: Find the principal components by performing eigenvalue decomposition on the covariance matrix.

[0105] As mentioned earlier, principal components do not directly identify specific chemical components or physical entities in the raw data. Instead, they represent abstract directions of variation in the data. Each principal component can be considered a representation of a specific pattern or trend in the data, and these patterns can be the result of multiple different chemical or physical processes. Therefore, principal components provide more of a means of data simplification and interpretation than directly identifying specific compounds.

[0106] 4. Select principal components: You can select the first few principal components for subsequent analysis based on the variance percentage.

[0107] Step 105: training a tea quality evaluation model based on the key features and corresponding quality labels.

[0108] For example, a training dataset includes near-infrared spectral data of at least 100 tea samples and their corresponding sensory evaluation results (i.e., quality labels). Key features are extracted from the near-infrared spectral data of the tea samples. There can be multiple key features, for example, the 3-5 most important ones are selected. These key features and their corresponding quality labels are then used to train a tea quality evaluation model.

[0109] In specific implementation, the tea quality evaluation model may adopt a linear regression model, a support vector machine (SVM), a random forest or a neural network, etc., which is not limited in the present embodiment. Moreover, the training method may adopt the existing training method of the corresponding model.

[0110] Furthermore, during model training, cross-validation techniques can be used to evaluate the model's generalization ability. For example, using the K-fold cross-validation method, the entire dataset is divided into K equal (or nearly equal) sized subsets, commonly referred to as "folds." The model training and validation process is repeated K times, each time using a different fold as the validation set, while the remaining K-1 folds serve as the training set. Cross-validation allows model training to maximize the performance of the model using limited data.

[0111] In addition, the performance of the tea quality evaluation model can be tested based on the test set, and further optimization and adjustment can be made based on the test results to improve the performance of the tea quality evaluation model.

[0112] In some embodiments, the tea quality evaluation model can also be established by comprehensively considering the tea composition information and the above key characteristics. Figure 2 This is explained in detail.

[0113] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is another flow chart for establishing a tea quality evaluation model in an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:

[0114] Step 201: Collect tea samples.

[0115] Step 202: Obtain the quality label corresponding to each tea sample determined based on sensory evaluation.

[0116] Step 203: Acquire spectral data of the tea sample based on near-infrared spectroscopy scanning.

[0117] Step 204: extract key features from the spectral data.

[0118] Step 205 : Acquire component information of the tea sample according to the spectral data, wherein the component information includes molecular structure and / or chemical composition.

[0119] The method of using spectral data to obtain the molecular structure and chemical composition of tea can adopt some existing related technologies.

[0120] Step 206 : training a tea quality evaluation model based on the key features, the ingredient information of the tea sample, and the corresponding quality labels.

[0121] The tea quality evaluation model described above can be used to quickly, accurately, and non-destructively evaluate the quality of tea samples. For example, it can determine whether the tea samples are qualified, determine the quality grade of the tea samples, or score the quality of the tea samples to obtain a quality score. It should be noted that when constructing the tea quality evaluation model, a regression model or a classification model can be used, depending on the desired form of the evaluation results, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0122] like Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for evaluating the quality of tea raw materials provided in an embodiment of the present application, comprising the following steps:

[0123] Step 301: Acquire spectral data of a tea sample to be tested based on near-infrared spectral scanning.

[0124] Specifically, a specific spectrum analyzer may be used to scan the tea sample to obtain corresponding spectrum data.

[0125] Step 302: Determine the quality of the tea leaves to be tested by using the spectral data of the tea leaves to be tested and a pre-established tea quality evaluation model.

[0126] Specifically, the spectral data is input into the tea quality evaluation model (such as Figure 1 The tea quality evaluation model established by the method shown in the figure is used to determine whether the tea to be tested is qualified according to the model output, or to determine the quality grade of the tea to be tested, or to obtain the quality score of the tea to be tested.

[0127] In some embodiments, spectral data may also be used to obtain component information of the tea sample to be tested, where the component information includes molecular structure and / or chemical composition.

[0128] Accordingly, the spectral data and the component information are input into the tea quality evaluation model (such as Figure 2 The tea quality evaluation model established by the method shown in the figure is used to determine whether the tea to be tested is qualified or obtain the quality score of the tea to be tested based on the model output.

[0129] In some embodiments, the tea quality evaluation model can also be used to establish a tea digital label library, and the tea digital label library can be used to achieve rapid evaluation of tea quality.

[0130] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , a flow chart for quickly evaluating tea quality according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, which includes the following steps:

[0131] Step 401 : establishing a tea digital label library based on a tea quality evaluation model, wherein the digital label library includes digital labels of various different categories of high-quality tea.

[0132] Specifically, for a specific category of tea, a series of high-quality teas can be determined based on the tea quality evaluation model; the spectral data corresponding to the high-quality teas can be analyzed using unsupervised learning techniques, such as clustering methods, anomaly detection methods, etc.; and the digital labels corresponding to the specific category of high-quality teas can be determined based on the analysis results.

[0133] The digital label may be a multi-dimensional data structure including thousands of floating point numbers, each of which reflects a specific response of the tea sample in the near infrared spectrum.

[0134] For each category of tea, such as green tea, white tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, black tea, dark tea, etc., a digital label for high-quality tea of ​​the corresponding category is established. The digital label can also be regarded as the quality standard for this type of tea.

[0135] The tea digital label library can include digital labels for high-quality teas based on various classifications to meet the needs of different evaluation applications.

[0136] For example, when evaluating the quality of green tea from different origins, digital labels based on high-quality tea across the country can be used for evaluation.

[0137] For example, when evaluating the quality of green tea from the same origin, digital labels based on high-quality tea from that origin can be used for evaluation.

[0138] Step 402: quickly evaluate the quality of the tea leaves according to the tea digital label library.

[0139] Specifically, spectral data of a new tea sample obtained through near-infrared spectroscopy scanning and a digital label of the high-quality tea category to which the new tea sample belongs can be obtained. The distance (e.g., Euclidean distance) or similarity (e.g., Jaccard similarity coefficient, adjusted Rand coefficient, etc.) between the spectral data of the new tea sample and the digital label can be calculated. The quality of the new tea sample can be determined based on the distance or similarity. The closer the distance, the better the quality; the greater the similarity, the better the quality.

[0140] Accordingly, the present application also provides a tea raw material quality evaluation device, such as Figure 5 The figure shows a structural diagram of the device.

[0141] In this embodiment, the tea raw material quality evaluation device 500 includes the following modules:

[0142] The data acquisition module 501 is used to acquire spectral data of the tea sample to be tested obtained by near infrared spectroscopy scanning;

[0143] The evaluation module 502 is used to determine the quality of the tea leaves to be tested by using the spectral data of the tea leaves to be tested and a tea quality evaluation model 50 established by pre-combining spectral technology and manual sensory evaluation.

[0144] In some embodiments, the tea raw material quality evaluation device 500 may further include a model training module, such as Figure 6 The figure shows a structural diagram of the model training module.

[0145] In this embodiment, the model training module 600 includes the following units:

[0146] The sample determination unit 601 is used to collect tea samples;

[0147] The label acquisition unit 602 is used to obtain the quality label corresponding to each tea sample determined based on the sensory evaluation;

[0148] A spectral data acquisition unit 603 is used to acquire spectral data of the tea sample obtained based on near-infrared spectral scanning;

[0149] A feature extraction unit 604 is used to extract key features from the spectral data;

[0150] The training unit 605 is used to train a tea quality evaluation model based on the key features and corresponding quality labels.

[0151] In some embodiments, the model training module 600 may further include: a component information acquisition unit (not shown), which is used to obtain component information of the tea sample based on the spectral data, and the component information includes: molecular structure and / or chemical composition.

[0152] Accordingly, the training unit 605 trains a tea quality evaluation model based on the key features, the component information of the tea samples, and the corresponding quality labels.

[0153] Accordingly, if Figure 7As shown, based on the tea quality evaluation model of this embodiment, the tea raw material quality evaluation device 500 may further include a component information acquisition module 503 for acquiring component information of the tea sample to be tested based on the spectral data of the tea sample to be tested. Accordingly, the evaluation module 502 needs to input the component information and spectral data of the tea sample to be tested into the tea quality evaluation model and determine the quality of the tea to be tested based on the model output.

[0154] like Figure 8 , which is another structural schematic diagram of the tea raw material quality evaluation device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0155] Relative to Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the tea material quality evaluation device 500 in this embodiment further includes: a tea digital label library establishment module 504 and a rapid evaluation module 505.

[0156] The tea digital label library establishment module 504 is used to establish a tea digital label library 70 according to the tea quality evaluation model, wherein the digital label library 70 includes digital labels of various different categories of high-quality tea;

[0157] The rapid evaluation module 505 is used to perform a rapid evaluation on the quality of tea leaves according to the digital label library.

[0158] For the specific implementation of the above modules and units, please refer to the description in the previous embodiment of the method of this application, which will not be repeated here.

[0159] Accordingly, the present invention also provides a method for screening tea raw materials, such as Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the method, comprising the following steps:

[0160] Step 901: Acquire multiple candidate tea raw materials.

[0161] Step 902: Use the pre-established tea quality evaluation model to perform quality evaluation on each candidate tea raw material to obtain a quality evaluation result.

[0162] Specifically, samples can be taken from each candidate tea raw material, and the tea raw material quality evaluation method provided in the previous embodiment of the present application can be used to complete the evaluation of each sample to obtain the quality evaluation results corresponding to each candidate tea raw material.

[0163] Step 903: Determine whether each candidate tea raw material meets the set quality level based on the quality evaluation result.

[0164] Step 904: select candidate tea raw materials that meet the set quality level as target tea raw materials.

[0165] As mentioned above, based on different quality evaluation result requirements, the output of the tea quality evaluation model can be in the form of corresponding acceptance, quality grade, or quality score. Regardless of the output form, in step 903, it can be determined whether each candidate tea raw material meets the set quality grade based on the quality evaluation results.

[0166] For example, in some embodiments, only a coarse-grained division of tea quality is required, and the division is performed according to the quality grade actually required by the product. The tea quality evaluation model outputs the result as whether the candidate tea raw material is qualified or unqualified, so that the qualified candidate tea raw material can be determined as the tea raw material that meets the set quality grade.

[0167] For example, in some embodiments, it is necessary to perform a fine-grained classification of tea quality, such as into three grades: superior, medium, and inferior, and establish a correspondence between each grade and a quality score range. The tea quality evaluation model outputs the quality score of the candidate tea raw material. Based on this correspondence, the quality grade of the candidate tea raw material can be determined, and then whether the candidate tea raw material meets the set quality grade.

[0168] By using the tea raw material screening method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the tea raw materials required for the product can be screened out quickly and accurately, providing effective support and guarantee for product manufacturers in product selection and ensuring product quality.
