Mid‐Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for Chlorogenic Acid Quantification in Coffee
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.Chlorogenic acid (CGA) concentration in coffee was predicted using mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy and a machine learning approach. Forty‐four roasting stages (140–220 °C) plus a green coffee control were analyzed. A multilayer perceptron regressor, trained on preprocessed MIR data, outperformed traditional peak analysis, enabling accurate and ...
