Abstract

The application of interval partial least squares (IPLS) and moving window partial least squares (MWPLS) to the enantiomeric analysis of tryptophan (Trp) was investigated. A UV-Vis spectroscopy method for determining the enantiomeric composition of Trp was developed. The calibration model was built by using partial least squares (PLS), IPLS and MWPLS respectively. Leave-one-out cross validation and external test validation were used to assess the prediction performance of the established models. The validation result demonstrates the established full-spectrum PLS model is impractical for quantifying the relationship between the spectral data and enantiomeric composition of L-Trp. On the contrary, the developed IPLS and MWPLS model are both practicable for modeling this relationship. For the IPLS model, the root mean square relative error (RMSRE) of external test validation and leave-one-out cross validation is 4.03 and 6.50 respectively. For the MWPLS model, the RMSRE of external test validation and leave-one-out cross validation is 2.93 and 4.73 respectively. Obviously, the prediction accuracy of the MWPLS model is higher than that of the IPLS model. It is demonstrated UV-Vis spectroscopy combined with MWPLS is a commendable method for determining the enantiomeric composition of Trp. MWPLS is superior to IPLS for selecting spectral region in UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis.
