[0053] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0054] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0055] Example 1
[0056] This embodiment provides a method for quality analysis of black fungus based on infrared spectroscopy, including:
[0057] Obtain the infrared spectrum of the black fungus sample;
[0058] The original infrared spectrum was preprocessed to obtain a standardized spectrum;
[0059] The peak position, peak shape, and relative peak height information of at least four characteristic absorption peaks are extracted from the normalized spectrum. The four characteristic absorption peaks are 1075 cm⁻¹. -1 and 1040cm -1 Double peaks, 1650cm -1 Single strong peak, 1735cm -1 Weak acromion, 1320cm -1 Small, weak peaks;
[0060] Based on the characteristic absorption peak information, the overall quality analysis results of black fungus are generated.
[0061] First, use an infrared spectrometer, specifically a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer or a dispersive infrared spectrophotometer. The instrument accuracy and resolution should be determined according to the methods described in GB / T21186 or General Chapter 0402 of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 edition), and should meet the following requirements:
[0062] Accuracy: Polystyrene film calibration, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer at 3000 cm⁻¹ -1 The wavenumber error in the vicinity is no greater than ±5cm -1 , at 1000cm -1 The wavenumber error in the vicinity is no greater than ±2cm -1 .
[0063] Resolution: The optimal resolution of the instrument is no less than 4cm. -1 .
[0064] Meanwhile, infrared spectroscopy software should have basic functions such as coordinate axis unit transformation, baseline correction, normalization, smoothing, differentiation, peak position and peak intensity calculation, spectral library retrieval, and ATR correction.
[0065] The sampling method shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of General Chapter 0211 of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 Edition). Other sampling methods shall comply with relevant regulations or refer to the sampling methods for medicinal materials and processed medicinal slices. Generally, each solid sample shall be no less than 100g, each powdered solid sample no less than 25g, and each liquid sample no less than 25mL. The sampling amount may be appropriately reduced for precious or other special samples.
[0066] The sample preparation method shall be in accordance with the relevant provisions of General Chapter 0212 of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2020 Edition). Other sample preparation methods shall comply with relevant regulations or refer to the sample preparation methods for medicinal materials and processed medicinal slices. Solid samples should be pulverized before testing, and the sample powder used for testing should pass through a stainless steel sieve with a mesh size of not less than 100. Liquid samples should be mixed before testing, and solutions with low solute concentrations should be concentrated or dried before testing.
[0067] This embodiment uses the traditional "tablet compression method", which is suitable for testing dry solid samples or liquid samples that do not contain dissolved solid diluents.
[0068] The following points should be noted:
[0069] The tableting method generally uses spectroscopically pure potassium bromide as a solid diluent. Potassium bromide is stored in a sealed container in a dry environment.
[0070] Nitrate impurity test in potassium bromide: The sample chamber is empty. The background spectrum is tested, then a potassium bromide film without the sample is placed in the chamber, and the sample spectrum is tested. The spectrum at 1384 cm⁻¹ is observed. -1 Are there absorption peaks nearby?
[0071] The powdered sample was mixed with potassium bromide at a mass ratio of approximately 1:100, ground evenly, and then pressed into transparent or translucent sheets using a tableting device.
[0072] To test liquid samples that do not dissolve potassium bromide, first prepare a thin sheet of potassium bromide, and then drop an appropriate amount of sample onto the potassium bromide sheet.
[0073] A potassium bromide sheet without the sample is placed in the sample chamber, and the background spectrum is tested. Then, the potassium bromide sheet without the sample is removed, and a potassium bromide sheet containing the sample is placed in it, and the sample spectrum is tested.
[0074] The transmittance of the strongest absorption peak in the infrared spectrum of the tablet compression method should be 10% to 30%, the transmittance of the baseline without obvious absorption peak should be 80% to 100%, and the difference between the transmittance of the strongest absorption peak and the baseline should not be less than 50%. If the transmittance of the sample spectrum does not meet the above requirements, the ratio of the sample to potassium bromide should be adjusted, and the tablet should be prepared and tested again.
[0075] Each sample should be tested at least twice, and a new sample should be taken and prepared for testing each time.
[0076] Spectral preprocessing can perform coordinate axis unit transformation, baseline correction, normalization, smoothing, differentiation, ATR correction, and other preprocessing on the original spectrum of the sample. The following points should be noted: a) Unnecessary preprocessing steps should not be added while ensuring the requirements of subsequent spectral analysis are met; b) The preprocessing measures applied to the original spectrum of the sample, along with relevant information such as the operating software and processing parameters, should be recorded in detail.
[0077] The process of chemical substance structure analysis includes: the infrared absorption peaks of chemical substances are related to their molecular structure. Based on the correspondence between infrared absorption peaks and functional groups of compounds, the structural characteristics of the chemical components corresponding to the infrared absorption peaks of a sample can be analyzed, thus identifying the types of compounds contained in the sample. It should be noted that complex samples are usually mixtures, and their infrared absorption peaks may be a superposition of infrared absorption signals from multiple chemical components with similar functional groups.
[0078] The three essential elements of infrared spectroscopy are: the peak position, the intensity of the absorption peaks (bands), and the peak shape, which correspond to the various chemical components of the sample. These three elements constitute the three essential elements of infrared spectroscopy. Black fungus contains multiple chemical components. When infrared light irradiates black fungus, the superposition of absorption peaks (bands) of multiple components at different wavelengths yields the infrared spectrum of the sample. Identification is performed based on the position, intensity, and shape of the absorption peaks in the infrared spectrum.
[0079] The process for identifying the infrared spectra of black fungus includes: the infrared spectrum of the black fungus sample should contain the following 7 characteristic peaks (peak position, peak intensity, peak shape). The following are the main absorption information of the infrared spectrum of black fungus:
[0080] 3400cm -1 -3100cm -1 The broad and strong absorption peaks are attributed to the stretching vibrations of OH (hydroxyl) and NH (amino) in black fungus. Black fungus mainly originates from hydrogen bonds binding water molecules and amino acid residues in polysaccharides and proteins.
[0081] 2925cm -1 and 2850cm -1 The weaker peaks correspond to the CH stretching vibrations (-CH2 and -CH3) in black fungus, mainly originating from the methyl and methylene groups in lipid and carbohydrate molecules.
[0082] 1734cm -1 The weak absorption peak originates from the C=O stretching vibration in the esters or carboxylic acids of black fungus, indicating the presence of a small amount of lipid compounds.
[0083] 1642cm -1 The strong absorption peak is mainly attributed to the amide I band (C=O stretching vibration) of black fungus protein.
[0084] 1420cm -1 and 1378cm -1 : Derived from the CH bending vibration of black fungus or the COH deformation vibration of polysaccharides.
[0085] 1320cm -1 Small, weak spike: A characteristic absorption from calcium oxalate crystals in black fungus.
[0086] 1074cm -1 and 1039cm -1 : CO vibration from β-glycosidic bonds (such as β-glucan) in black fungus.
[0087] The infrared (FTIR) absorption characteristics of black fungus are mainly reflected in the vibrations of characteristic functional groups in its molecular structure, reflecting the composition and relative content of its main chemical components (such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids).
[0088] In addition, infrared spectroscopy technology, due to its holistic, rapid, and non-destructive characteristics, has important application value in the quality control and authenticity identification of edible fungi.
[0089] 9. Conclusions of Overall Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis of Black Fungus
[0090] The infrared spectral characteristics of black fungus mainly reflect its polysaccharide, protein, and lipid composition. Meanwhile, the absorption of calcium oxalate crystals also has certain characteristic features and biological significance. Therefore, the following four characteristic absorptions are mainly retained, and their relative heights are calculated. Among them:
[0091] 1075cm -1 and 1040cm -1 "Double strong peaks" can be used to assess the relative content of polysaccharides;
[0092] 1650cm -1 "Single strong absorption peak" can be used to assess the relative content of protein (amino acid) substances;
[0093] 1735cm -1 "Weak shoulder absorption peaks" can be used to assess the relative content of small amounts of lipids;
[0094] 1320cm -1"Small, weak peaks" can be used to assess the relative content of small amounts of calcium oxalate crystals.
[0095] The relative heights of the four main related absorption peaks are shown in Table 1.
[0096] Table 1
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] The data comes from the results of "absorbance-baseline correction-normalization-relative peak height calculation" of the infrared spectra of each sample.
[0100] The process of obtaining infrared spectral information from 10 different batches of samples included: a certain amount of sample was placed in an agate mortar and ground and mixed thoroughly. An appropriate amount was then weighed and placed in a special pressing mold, and pressed under 8 MPa pressure for 30 seconds to obtain a uniform, translucent sheet. To ensure the sample was not exposed to moisture, the sheet was dried under an infrared lamp.
[0101] Parameter settings and indoor environment control: spectral scanning range 4000cm 1 -400cm 1 16 scans, 4cm resolution 1 To eliminate the influence of CO2 and H2O, the experimental environment temperature was controlled at 25℃ and the relative humidity was maintained at 25%-35%.
[0102] Results analysis: such as Figures 1-15 As shown, neither GB / T6192-2019 "Black Fungus" nor LYT1207-2021 "Black Fungus" includes "infrared characteristic absorption," lacking a practical means of "holistic, rapid, and non-destructive intuitive quality control." Therefore, this standard adds infrared spectra and (1075cm) measurements. -1 and 1040cm -1 "Double Strong Peaks", 1650cm -1 "Single strong absorption peak", 1735cm -1 "Weak shoulder absorption peak" and 1320cm -1 The absorption of the four typical characteristics of "small weak peaks" has a "fingerprint-like" quality (i.e., peak position, peak shape, and relative height). These four typical characteristics correspond to the relative content of four major categories of chemical substances (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and calcium oxalate crystals), and are consistent with the national and industry standards for "total sugar (crude fiber), crude protein, and crude fat".
[0103] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computing program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements the method when executing the computing program.
[0104] On the other hand, this embodiment also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the method.
[0105] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
