Abstract
We present a method for glucose prediction from mid-IR spectra by independent component analysis (ICA). This method is able to identify pure, or individual, absorption spectra of constituent components from the mixture spectra without a priori knowledge of the mixture. This method was tested with a two-component system consisting of an aqueous solution of both glucose and sucrose, which exhibit distinct but closely overlapped spectra. ICA combined with principal component analysis was able to identify a spectrum for each component, the correct number of components, and the concentrations of the components in the mixture. This method does not need a calibration process and is advantageous in noninvasive glucose monitoring since expensive and time-consuming clinical tests for data calibration are not required.
