Abstract.

Tea is one of the most common and popular beverages all over the world. The accurate identification of tea grade is of great significance to ensure the interests of tea producers and consumers. In this paper, three grades of Wuxi baikhovi tea leaves were analyzed and identified using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). A total of 40 optimal spectral peaks were automatically selected from full LIBS spectra by using successive projection algorithm (SPA), and the selected spectral peaks mainly represent the elemental difference in C, Fe, Mg, Mn, Al and Ca. Finally, partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) was used for developing classification model using selected optimal spectral peaks, the result shows the accuracy of 98.8% for 150 test samples. This study demonstrates LIBS is a useful technique for the identification and discrimination of tea grade in various tea products and is promising for real-time, fast, and reliable measurement.
