Identification of geographical origin of TPFD based on handheld NIR spectroscopy and PLSDA

The present study is focused on the identification of geographical origin (Zhejiang, Yunnan and Anhui, China) of Dendrobium officinale’s dried stem called Tiepi fengdou by mean of the handheld near-infrared spectrometer. Raw data were preprocessed to reduce unwanted spectral variations by the first-order derivative followed by standard normal variate transformation, and partial least squares discriminant analysis model was developed for calibration. The results showed that more than 90% of the origins were identified. Therefore, it is possible to classify the geographical origin of Tiepi fengdou by the use of the handheld near-infrared spectrometer for effective quality control.
