The present application relates to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine and agricultural product quality analysis and intelligent detection technology, and discloses a method for intelligent identification of
production area and prediction of active ingredients of snakegourd seed, which collects snakegourd seed samples from 11 main production areas in China, extracts morphological parameters, RGB, CIE XYZ, CIE Lab* color parameters and reconstructs visible spectral characteristics through
machine vision, determines the contents of total triterpenoids, total polysaccharides, total proteins and 3,29-dibenzoyl
triterpenoid, selects key features with VIP>1 by PLS-DA, constructs a
firefly algorithm optimized RBF neural
network model to realize identification of
production area, and the accuracy of the
test set reaches 87.39%, uses the maximum information coefficient to select core features, and combines BPNN to construct an
active ingredient prediction model, and the R² of the
test set of total triterpenoids, total polysaccharides and DBKT reaches 0.906, 0.936 and 0.935 respectively. The present application provides a method for
traceability and nondestructive evaluation of the quality of snakegourd seed.
