    The aim of the study was to determine Ca addition to the flour by using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a quick and simple multi-elemental spectroscopy method. Different amounts of CaCO3-added wheat flour were analyzed using LIBS to determine Ca content and Ca/K ratio, which is used for discrimination of natural and Ca-added flour. LIBS spectra were quantitatively evaluated with partial least square (PLS) method as a multivariate data analysis method to eliminate the matrix effect. Ca and Ca/K calibration graphs of PLS method showed good linearity with coefficient of determinations (R (2)) 0.999. Limit of detection values for Ca and Ca/K analysis were calculated as 25.9 ppm and 0.013, respectively. Furthermore, the results were found to be consistent with the data obtained from atomic absorption spectroscopy method as a reference method for flour samples.

    Comparison of Different Calibration Techniques of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy in Bakery Products: on Nacl Measurement
    (Springer, 2021) Bilge, Gonca; Eseller, Kemal Efe; Berberoglu, Halil; Sezer, Banu; Tamer, Ugur; Boyaci, Ismail Hakki
    Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid optical spectroscopy technique for elemental determination, which has been used for quantitative analysis in many fields. However, the calibration involving atomic emission intensity and sample concentration, is still a challenge due to physical-chemical matrix effect of samples and fluctuations of experimental parameters. To overcome these problems, various chemometric data analysis techniques have been combined with LIBS technique. In this study, LIBS was used to show its potential as a routine analysis for Na measurements in bakery products. A series of standard bread samples containing various concentrations of NaCl (0.025%-3.5%) was prepared to compare different calibration techniques. Standard calibration curve (SCC), artificial neural network (ANN) and partial least square (PLS) techniques were used as calibration strategies. Among them, PLS was found to be more efficient for predicting the Na concentrations in bakery products with an increase in coefficient of determination value from 0.961 to 0.999 for standard bread samples and from 0.788 to 0.943 for commercial products.
