Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for evaluating the hot treatment to which a proteinic nutrient such as milk is subjected. It consists in the following steps: a) taking a sample of said nutrient and adding thereto an ionic strength pad and appropriate pH for obtaining a precipitate of proteins denatured by the hot treatment and a transparent supenatant containing proteins which are still soluble; b) analysing the tryptophan present in the supernatant; and c) analysing the fluorescent by-products derived from the advanced Maillard reaction present in the supernatant. The invention is useful in methods for hot treatment of proteinic nutrients.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the spectroscopic analysis of at least one sample, using a method for analysing spectroscopic data based on a multi-channel statistical model, said method comprising: the illumination of said or each sample to be analysed by a plurality of luminous excitation rays with respective wavelengths; the acquisition and the pre-treatment of frontal fluorescence spectra, each spectrum corresponding to a respective luminous excitation ray; for each sample, the calculation of a score vector by applying said multi-channel statistical model to the pre-treated spectra; and the determination of at least one parameter selected from a quality indicator of said or each sample and a parameter characterising a method that has been applied to said or each sample, from said score vector; the method being characterised in that the average spectral distance between the luminous excitation rays is at least 50 nm, over a spectral range of at least 100 nm. The invention also relates to an appliance for implementing such a method.
