First, unlike the traditional linear transformation methods, the relationships between F0s and spectral parameters are explored. In each component of the Gaussian mixture model (GMM), the F0s are predicted from the converted spectral parameters using the support vector regression (SVR) method. Then, in order to reduce the over- smoothing caused by the statistical average of the GMM, a mixed transformation method combining SVR with the traditional mean-variance linear (MVL) conversion is presented. Meanwhile, the adaptive median filter, prevalent in image processing, is adopted to solve the discontinuity problem caused by the frame-wise transformation. Objective and subjective experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the traditional F0 transformation methods in terms of the similarity and the quality.展开更多

[Method] By using 0.2 mg/ml ellagic acid standard solution, on the basis of single-factor experiment and orthogonal experiment, chromatographic conditions (mobile phase ratio, flow rate, col- umn temperature) for detecting ellagic acid using HPLC were optimized. Based on the optimal chromatographic conditions, the ellagic acid content in experimental pomegranate peels was determined. [Resull] The optimal chromatographic conditions for detecting ellagic acid in pomegranate peels using HPLC method are: 1.2% phos- phoric acid:acetonitrile=85:15, column temperature of 35 ℃, and flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The linear regression equation of ellagic acid is: y=2.9e+0.6x+4.4e+5 (FF=9 999). Ac- cording to the standard addition recovery test, the average recovery rate of ellagic acid is 98.20%, and RSD is 0.60%. Under above optimized chromatographic condi- tions, ellagic acid can be well separated from other interfering components in pomegranate peels, with shorter peak time and ideal effect, which is convenient for the detection in production practices. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for detecting ellagic acid in pomegranate peels using HPLC method.展开更多
