urn:hdl:2072/474954 Prediction of mineral composition in commercial extruded dry dog food by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy Goi, Arianna Manuelian, Carmen L Currò, Sarah De Marchi, M Dog Dog nutrition Extruded pet food NIR The pet food industry is interested in performing fast analyses to control the nutritional quality of their products. This study assessed the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy to predict mineral content in extruded dry dog food. Mineral content in commercial dry dog food samples (n = 119) was quantified by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and reflectance spectra (850-2500 nm) captured with FOSS NIRS DS2500 spectrometer. Calibration models were built using modified partial least square regression and leave-one-out cross-validation. The best prediction models were obtained for S (coefficient of determination; R2 = 0.89), K (R2 = 0.85), and Li (R2 = 0.74), followed by P, B, and Sr (R2 = 0.72 each). Only prediction models for S and K were adequate for screening purposes. This study supports that minerals are difficult to determine with NIRS if they are not associated with organic molecules. 2019 Article Animals ; Vol. 9 Núm. 9 (2019), p. 640 open access Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
