The Use of SIMCA Method and NIR Spectroscopy with Hand-Held Spectrometers Equipped with Integrating Sphere for Classification of Two Different Indonesian Specialty Coffees

Abstract

Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the SIMCA method and NIR spectroscopy for the non-invasive and non-destructive classification of Indonesian specialty coffees that come from two geographical origins: Gayo coffee from Aceh 10 samples and Wamena from Papua 10 samples. All samples were roasted at the same condition (medium roasting at a temperature of 200°C for 10 minutes) and were ground using a home coffee grinder and then sieved using 50 mesh to obtain a homogenous particle size of 297 micrometers. Spectral data in the short and long near infrared range of 650–1650 nm was measured in a diffuse reflectance mode using two handheld spectrometers equipped with an integrating sphere (ISP-REF, Ocean Optics, USA). The result demonstrated that the classification was satisfied with 100% accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.
