  abstract     = {{Spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) is grown for its essential oil (EO), which find use in food, beverage, fragrance and other industries. The current study explores the ability of near infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI) (935 to 1720 nm) to predict, in a rapid, nondestructive manner, the essential oil content of dried spearmint (0.2 to 2.6% EO). Spectral values of spearmint samples varied considerably with spatial coordinates, and so the use of averaging the spectral values of a surface scan was warranted. Data preprocessing was done with Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) or Standard Normal Variate (SNV). Selection of spectral input variables was done with Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or Partial Least Squares (PLS). Regression was executed with linear regression (LASSO, PLS regression, PCA regression), Support Vector Machine (SVM) regression, and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). The best prediction of EO concentration was achieved with the combination of MSC or SNV preprocessing, PLS dimension reduction, and MLP regression (1 hidden layer with 6 nodes), achieving a good prediction with a ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) of 2.84 ± 0.07, an R2 of prediction of 0.863 ± 0.008, and a RMSE of prediction of 0.219 ± 0.005% EO. These results show that NIR-HSI is a viable method for rapid, nondestructive analysis of EO concentration. Future work should explore the use of NIR in the visible spectrum, the use of HSI for determining EO in other plant materials and the potential of HSI to determine individual compounds in these solid plant/food matrices.}},
