Seafood elemental profiling (SEP) is the quantification of a range of elements in seafood products and may serve in addressing questions of seafood provenance and quality. Traditional methods for analyzing soft tissue present several limitations for the industry-level use of SEP. Portable handheld X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysis is a promising alternative to conventional methods; however, its application for biological analysis has not been fully established. Intact giant tiger prawn () abdomens were analyzed with a Vanta M series XRF portable analyzer following a novel soft tissue protocol. Exploratory statistics (principal component analysis, nonmetric multidimensional scaling, and canonical discriminant analysis), as well as random forest models, have been implemented with pXRF profiles, yielding 81% accuracy when assigning the geographical origin of . The results of this study highlight that SEP via pXRF is a viable industry-level analysis, and its application will depend on improved instrument calibration to account for fluctuating wetness factors that are influenced by cooking, storage, and other pre- and post-harvest treatments.
海鲜元素剖析(SEP)是对海产品中一系列元素进行定量分析,可用于解决海产品来源和质量问题。传统的软组织分析方法在行业层面应用SEP时存在若干局限性。便携式手持式X射线荧光(pXRF)分析是传统方法的一种有前景的替代方法;然而,其在生物分析中的应用尚未完全确立。按照一种新颖的软组织检测方案,使用Vanta M系列XRF便携式分析仪对完整的斑节对虾腹部进行了分析。利用pXRF分析数据实施了探索性统计分析(主成分分析、非度量多维标度法和典型判别分析)以及随机森林模型,在确定斑节对虾地理来源时准确率达到81%。本研究结果表明,通过pXRF进行SEP是一种可行的行业层面分析方法,其应用将取决于改进仪器校准,以考虑受烹饪、储存以及其他收获前和收获后处理影响的湿度波动因素。
