Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of soup detection technology, and in particular to a rapid detection method for soup components and its spectroscopic analyzer. Background Technology
[0002] In the vast ocean of Chinese cuisine, soup undoubtedly occupies an important place. Soup is a common type of dish in daily life. During the continuous simmering process, as the cell walls of tissues break down and a large amount of nucleotides dissolve into the soup, the concentration of purines continues to rise. Fat and protein undergo an emulsification reaction, making the fat distribution more even and less prone to separation. Furthermore, as evaporation occurs, the concentration of various components in the soup further increases.
[0003] Traditional laboratory methods for analyzing soup components require specialized equipment, reagents, and specialized procedures for pretreatment. The reliance on single measurement methods also leads to interference between different components, hindering rapid, non-destructive on-site testing and making them unsuitable for everyday residential settings. With rising living standards and health awareness, coupled with an aging population, especially among individuals with underlying conditions such as high uric acid, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, it is crucial to control excessive intake of purines, protein, fat, and salt in the diet.
[0004] When analyzing purines, proteins, fats, and salinity in soups in the laboratory, methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for purines, Kjeldahl and Coomassie brilliant blue methods for proteins, and Soxhlet extraction for fats all require specialized reagents and equipment, making them cumbersome and unsuitable for non-destructive testing at home. Refractometers and conductivity meters for salinity are also susceptible to interference from substances like oils. While single-channel sensors can respond to some indicators, they lack interference immunity. In developing appliances with soup-making functions, using time and temperature to control purine levels is inadequate for adapting to the differences in various ingredients and cannot accurately determine the final soup's state. Using cameras for observation, however, lacks a light source, leading to deficiencies in measurement accuracy and inter-device consistency. Summary of the Invention

The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0020] Molecular absorption spectroscopy is an objective physical property of molecules. When electromagnetic radiation (light) of continuous wavelength irradiates and passes through a specific substance, the groups or electrons inside the molecule are excited by radiation of a specific frequency, transitioning from a low-energy state to a high-energy state, thus causing the emitted light to exhibit energy intensity attenuation in a specific wavelength band. For example, the highest absorption peak of purine bases (adenine A and guanine G) released by DNA cleavage is located around 260 nm; protein molecules usually exist in a clustered form, absorbing light around 280 nm (because of the presence of aromatic amino acids such as tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine) but not light around 350 nm; the classical absorption peak of fat molecules is around 930 nm, while there is also a second-order overtone absorption of the CH2 group in fat molecules around 1210 nm. Large, uneven particles in soup can block the light measurement window and should be filtered out. For solid suspensions with smaller particle sizes (less than 1.2 μm), most food pigments (such as paprika and chlorophyll in soup) have very weak molecular absorption in the near-infrared region around 860 nm. Using this wavelength can effectively eliminate interference with the color of the soup.
[0021] Although salt (NaCl) is the main electrolyte in soup, conductivity measurement is the total conductivity of all charged ions in the solution. Organic acids in the soup (such as vinegar and tomato acid) produce H+ ions, and alkaline substances produce OH- ions, all of which have extremely high molar conductivity. The potassium (from soy sauce or low-sodium salt), calcium, and magnesium ions in seasonings, as well as ions produced by monosodium glutamate (MSG), and the hardness (residual ions) of the cooking water itself, also contribute to the final result. Temperature affects the form and viscosity of substances in the soup, thus influencing the absorption spectrum and conductivity characteristics, necessitating temperature compensation.
[0022] To illustrate the technical solutions described in this application, specific embodiments are provided below, showing only the parts related to the embodiments of this application.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses an embodiment of a rapid detection method for soup components. This method is a non-destructive rapid detection method that can directly contact the soup to achieve rapid on-site qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of purines, proteins, fats, and salinity in the soup. The specific steps include: S1. Pre-treat the soup sample to be tested; the pre-treatment includes filtration, adsorption, and / or reverse osmosis to reduce the selectivity of the signal during data acquisition. Specifically, a suitable filter can be selected for filtration to remove oil and residue from the soup sample, and then the sample should be left to stand at room temperature.
[0024] S2. Data acquisition is performed on the pretreated soup, including the acquisition of multi-channel spectral data, conductivity data and / or temperature data of the soup.
[0025] S3. Based on the multi-channel spectral data, conductivity data, and / or temperature data, the soup is analyzed using a soup analysis model to generate analysis results; the analysis results include qualitative analysis results and semi-quantitative analysis results.
[0026] In one embodiment, the data collection of the pretreated soup specifically includes the following steps: S21. Place the spectrometer directly into the pretreated soup; the spectrometer includes a processing module, an emission light source, and a photoelectric receiver; the optical path length of the acquisition optical path between the emission light source and the photoelectric receiver is 3mm~6mm; S22. The light source of the spectral analyzer emits ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared light, and the photodetector receives the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared light that penetrates the soup. S23. The processing module analyzes and processes the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared light received by the photoelectric receiver (penetrating the soup) according to the soup analysis model, and obtains the multi-channel spectral data, conductivity data and / or temperature data.
[0027] In one embodiment, the spectrometer includes a processing module, an emission light source, and a photodetector; the optical path length of the emission light source and the photodetector is 3mm to 6mm. Specifically, the emission light source and the photodetector are separated by two pieces of quartz glass; alternatively, a sample collection chamber can be used, with a size not exceeding 25mm. 25mm 35mm.
[0028] In one embodiment, the center frequencies of the multi-channel spectral data acquisition include 260nm, 280nm, 360nm, 530nm, 890nm±10nm, 400nm, 930nm, 1160nm, 1200nm, 1400nm, 1500nm, and 1600nm±10nm.
[0029] In one embodiment, the analysis results include qualitative analysis results and semi-quantitative analysis results. Specifically, the qualitative analysis results include qualified and unqualified; the semi-quantitative analysis results include low, medium, and high. Specifically, the threshold for qualitative judgment can be set according to the testing requirements of different population groups. For example, in 100ml of soup, for normal individuals, a suitable standard is designed as salinity 0.3%~0.6%, purine 50~150mg, fat 1.0~3.0g, and protein 0.5~2.0g. Below this range is considered low, and above this range is considered high. For individuals with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, and those with gout, the salinity threshold can be lowered to 0.4%, and the purine threshold to 75mg, etc. This personalized configuration can be done manually or provided through preset settings and online upgrades.
[0030] During testing, data can be uploaded to a cloud server via a communication link, calculated, and then sent back. Alternatively, edge or terminal computing power can be used locally. Specifically, the communication link includes, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, USB, serial port, Wi-Fi, wired network, and wireless network.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the steps for constructing the soup analysis model include: S100, Sample library preparation, wherein the sample library contains multiple standard solution samples, mixed solution samples and real soup samples of different gradients, and each sample is labeled accordingly, and each sample is prepared in parallel (i.e. each preparation has at least one copy); the standard solution samples include purine, protein, fat and sodium chloride solution, etc.
[0032] Specifically, the preparation steps of the real soup sample include: S101. Take the middle layer of the soup; S102. Use a 100-400 mesh filter to remove particulate impurities and floating oil from the soup. It should be noted that the mesh size of the filter used in actual use needs to be consistent with that used in modeling to improve data consistency.
[0033] S103. Laboratory analysis was conducted to obtain the concentration values of purines, proteins, fats, and salinity in the soup. The analytical methods used included, but were not limited to, high performance liquid chromatography, Kjeldahl nitrogen determination, acid hydrolysis, and silver nitrate titration.

[0035] S300. Perform data quality control and data cleaning on the data; remove invalid or bad samples, including data with missing data, missing labels, repeated sampling of a single sample, and / or excessive volatility. Specifically, data quality control methods may include: collecting data multiple times (at least 3 times) to determine data consistency, calculating the variance of each channel, and setting a rejection threshold, such as 5%~15%. Weights can also be designed based on the contribution of each channel to the model, and a comprehensive judgment can be made for multiple channels. Alternatively, multi-channel molecular fingerprints can be used to determine the consistency between the input data and the model data, rejecting obvious outliers.
[0036] S400. The cleaned data is fed into the regression model for training. Specifically, a mapping model is established using supervised learning algorithms, taking multi-channel spectral, conductivity, and temperature data as inputs and protein concentration, purine concentration, fat concentration, and sodium chloride concentration as outputs. The algorithms used include, but are not limited to, Multi-Layer Perceptron Regressor (MLPRS), Elastic Net, Lasso (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator), and Linner / nonlinear Support Vector Regression (SVR).
[0037] S500. Based on the training of the regression model, set qualitative analysis thresholds and semi-quantitative analysis thresholds. Specifically, for the obtained regression model, the regression is converted to qualitative analysis through a decision transformation layer, and the application layer makes judgments to perform qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis.
[0038] For the issue of thick soups that partially solidify at low temperatures, this application only requires that the temperature be consistent during modeling and use. In practice, a detection optical path specifically designed for soups that can solidify can be designed to ensure consistency between modeling and use.
[0039] This application's spectrometer employs a miniature multi-channel spectrometer chip with a very small sampling space.
