Owing to potentially significant health threats and large-scale adulterations, food regulatory agencies and industries require rapid and non-destructive analytical techniques for the detection of unexpected compounds present in products. Accordingly, shortwave-infrared hyperspectral imaging (SWIR-HSI) for high throughput authenticity analysis of almond powder was investigated in this study. Two different varieties of almond powder, adulterated with apricot and peanut powder at different concentrations, were imaged using the SWIR-HSI system. A one-class classifier technique, known as data-driven soft independent modeling of class analogy (DD-SIMCA), was used on collected data sets of pure and adulterated samples. A partial least square regression (PLSR) model was further developed to predict adulterant concentrations in almond powder. Classification results from DD-SIMCA yielded 100% sensitivity and 89\u2013100% specificity for different validation sets of adulterated samples. The results obtained from the PLSR analysis yielded a high determination coefficient (R2) and low error values (&lt;1%) for each variety of almond powder adulterated with apricot; however, a relatively higher error rates of 2.5% and 4.4% for the two varieties of almond powder adulterated with peanut powder, which indicates the performance of quantitative analysis model could vary with sample condition, such as variety, originality, etc. PLSR-based concentration mapped images visually characterized the adulterant (apricot) concentration in the almond powder. These results demonstrate that the SWIR-HSI technique combined with the one-class classifier DD-SIMCA can be used effectively for a high-throughput quality screening of almond powder regarding potential adulteration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20205855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]],"date-time":"2020-10-16T08:56:48Z","timestamp":1602838608000},"page":"5855","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Hyperspectral Shortwave Infrared Image Analysis for Detection of Adulterants in Almond Powder with One-Class Classification Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Mohammad Akbar","family":"Faqeerzada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosystems Machinery Engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Science, Chungnam National University, 99 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}]},{"given":"Santosh","family":"Lohumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosystems Machinery Engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Science, Chungnam National University, 99 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6274-3649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geonwoo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Powder Mill Road, BARC-East, Bldg 303, BARC-East, Beltsville, MD 20705, USA"}]},{"given":"Rahul","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosystems Machinery Engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Science, Chungnam National University, 99 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}]},{"given":"Hoonsoo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosystems Engineering, College of Agriculture, Life &amp; Environment Science, Chungbuk National University, 1 Chungdae-ro, Seowon-gu, Cheongju, Chungbuk 28644, Korea"}]},{"given":"Moon Sung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Powder Mill Road, BARC-East, Bldg 303, BARC-East, Beltsville, MD 20705, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8397-9853","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byoung-Kwan","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosystems Machinery Engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Science, Chungnam National University, 99 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34134, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Smart Agriculture System, College of Agricultural and Life Science, Chungnam National University, 99 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 34134, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1364","DOI":"10.1021\/jf030061r","article-title":"Anatomy and Cell Wall Polysaccharides of Almond (Prunus dulcis D.
