[Study on the robust NIR calibration models for moisture].

The differences in sample moisture affect the robustness of NIR model obviously. In the present paper, three approaches, including preprocessing spectra, selecting wavelength, and setting up global calibration, were investigated to analyze the feasibility of setting up robust calibrations based on the protein content of wheat with different moistures. It has been found that with only spectral pretreatment method it fails to obtain satisfactory results, which can not remove the effects caused by moisture difference. Both selecting wavelengths and developing global calibration model proved to be good approaches for developing robust NIR calibration, yet developing global calibration is better. The mechanisms of the three different methods were also analyzed theoretically.

Studies on the amino acid and mineral content of buckwheat protein fractions.

Protein fractions were extracted by successive extraction and analysis method in four buckwheat varieties including Japanese spring buckwheat, Japanese summer buckwheat, Yuqiao No. 1 and Yuqiao 6-21. The amino acid and the mineral content of each protein fraction were also analyzed in this paper. The basis for the data on the experiment was the relationship between protein fractions and amino acids, and the mineral contents of protein fractions. The distribution and proportion of amino acids and the minerals in each protein fraction in the buckwheat kernel as well as the nutritional value of buckwheat kernel were discussed. The results showed that there is a high amount of soluble protein and very low amount of prolamin in the buckwheat kernel. Leucine is the first limited amino acid in buckwheat, and buckwheat protein is only a seminutritional protein. The buckwheat kernel is rich in K, Zn in the albumin, Ca, Mg and Mn in the globulin, Na in the prolamin and glutelin.
