Abstract

Abstract Two chemometrics, the partial least-squares (PLS) and radial basis function (RBF) network were performed to develop a quantification method for total polysaccharides and triterpenoids in Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma atrum from different origins based on near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIR). The influences of spectral window and spectral pre-treatments were initially studied in the construction of PLS model. The best result was obtained when the standard normal transformation (SNV) +1st derivative spectrum over 4100–7750 cm−1 was used for the modelling. Then based on each principle, both of the two models were optimised respectively. The final results with high determination coefficient (R2) (higher than 0.973, 0.989 for PLS and RBF, respectively) and low root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) (low to 0.1109 and 0.01298 for polysaccharides and triterpenoids, respectively) confirm the good predictability of the two models. The overall results show that NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics can be efficiently utilised for accurate analysis of routine chemical compositions in G. lucidum and G. atrum.
