(Elsevier, 2025-03-14) Peraza Alemán, Carlos Miguel; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Barandalla, Leire; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD
This study investigated the potential of near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) for the prediction of acrylamide content in potato chips. A total of 300 tubers from two potato varieties (Agria and Jaerla) grown in two seasons and processed under the same frying conditions were analysed. Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) and Support Vector Machine Regression (SVMR), combined with a logarithmic transformation of the acrylamide levels, were applied to develop predictive models. The most optimal outcomes for PLSR yielded R2 p: 0.85, RMSEP: 201 μg/kg and RPD: 2.53, while for SVMR yielded R2 p: 0.80, RMSEP: 229 μg/kg and RPD: 2.22. Furthermore, the selection of significant wavelengths enabled an 87.95 % reduction in variables without affecting the model’s accuracy. Finally, spatial mapping of acrylamide content was conducted on all chips in the external validation set. This method provides both quantification and visualization capabilities, thus enhancing quality control for acrylamide identification in processed potatoes.

The potential loss of world crop production from the effect of pests, including weeds, animal pests, pathogens and viruses has been quantifed as around 40%. In addition to the economic threat, plant diseases could have disastrous consequences for the environment. Accurate and timely disease detection requires the use of rapid and reliable techniques capable of identifying infected plants and providing the tools required to implement precision agriculture strategies. The combination of suitable remote sensing (RS) data and advanced analysis algorithms makes it possible to develop prescription maps for precision disease control. This chapter shows some case studies on the use of remote sensing technology in some of the world’s major crops; namely cotton, avocado and grapevines. In these case studies, RS has been applied to detect disease caused by fungi using different acquisition platforms at different scales, such as leaf-level hyperspectral data and canopy-level remote imagery taken from satellites, manned airplanes or helicopter, and UAVs. The results proved that remote sensing is useful, effcient and effective for identifying cotton root rot zones in cotton felds, laurel wilt-infested avocado trees and escaaffected vines, which would allow farmers to optimize inputs and feld operations, resulting in reduced yield losses and increased profts.

Influencia de factores de cultivo y conservación en el contenido en azúcares reductores en patata
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2023) Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Peraza Alemán, Carlos Miguel; Mangado Ederra, Jesús; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD
La patata es uno de los alimentos más importante del mundo y una de las formas más habituales de consumirla es como patatas fritas. Al freírla a altas temperaturas, los azúcares reductores y la asparagina de la patata pueden dar lugar a acrilamidas, por medio de la reacción de Maillard. La acrilamida está clasificada como sustancia probablemente cancerígena para el ser humano. Por eso es importante que las patatas destinadas a fritura tengan un bajo contenido en azúcares reductores. Este contenido depende de factores genéticos, medioambientales, culturales y condiciones de almacenamiento. Por ello, en este trabajo se pretende analizar algunos de esos factores en una variedad rica en azúcares reductores como es Jaerla. Los factores analizados fueron el estrés hídrico durante el cultivo, dos temperaturas de almacenamiento (8 y 13ºC) y tiempo de almacenamiento en las anteriores temperaturas, desde 0 hasta 13 semanas. Las muestras de patatas de cada uno de los tratamientos se liofilizaron y se determinó su contenido en azúcares: glucosa, fructosa y sacarosa. Los datos fueron analizados con R-Studio. Solo se encontraron diferencias significativas en el factor temperatura de conservación para los tres azúcares, obteniéndose los valores más altos en las patatas conservadas a 8ºC.

(DYNA, 2018) Echeverría Iriarte, Francisco Javier; González de Audícana Amenábar, María; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ciriza Labiano, Raquel; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
Previous analysis of the locations of fire stations in Spain and the extent of the areas they cover revealed significant deficiencies with regard to the proportion of communities who would not receive fire service intervention within a reasonable time period. This article discusses and describes the use of Geographic Information Systems and related tools to determine the areas and population covered by existing fire services within a specific response time. This response time by road, is based on a survey of fire service interventions in other European countries. The analysis compares data from a statistical study with georeferenced ones and demonstrates that the areas and communities not covered within this response time is greater than previously believed. The article then describes an analysis an alternative solution to reinforce the current fire stations network with part-time firefighters to cover the areas not covered mainly in rural and remote locations.

This study explored the potential of hyperspectral imaging in the near infrared region (NIR-HSI) as a non-destructive and rapid tool to discriminate among two beef fattening diets. For that purpose, a feeding trial was carried out with a total of 24 purebred Pirenaica calves. Twelve of them were fed barley and straw (BS) while 11 animals were finished on vegetable by-products (VBPR). When comparing the reference measurements of the meat coming from those animals, only the total collagen ratio expressed the feeding effect (p-value<0.05). To undertake the authentication procedure, two discrimination approaches were run: partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and radial basis function-support vector machine (RBF-SVM). To precisely extract spectral and textural information from the lean portion of the meat steaks, various techniques were executed, such as principal component (PC) images, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) for selecting optimal wavelengths, and gray-level-co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). After hyperspectral imaging and the combination of their own texture features, samples were classified according to feeding diet with an overall accuracy of 72.92% for PLS-DA and 80.56% for RBF-SVM. So, the potential of using HSI technology to authenticate the meat obtained from beef supplied a diet based on circular economy techniques was made in evidence.

(Wiley, 2016) Tierno, Roberto; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Riga, Patrick; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak
BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, the attractive colours and shapes of pigmented tubers and the increasing concern about the relationship between nutrition and health have contributed to the expansion of their consumption and a specialty market. Thus, we have quantified the concentration of health promoting compounds such as soluble phenolics, monomeric anthocyanins, carotenoids, vitamin C, and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity, in a collection of 18 purple- and red-fleshed potato accessions. RESULTS: Cultivars and breeding lines high in vitamin C, such as Blue Congo, Morada and Kasta, have been identified. Deep purple cultivars Violet Queen, Purple Peruvian and Vitelotte showed high levels of soluble phenolics, monomeric anthocyanins, and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity, whereas relatively high carotenoid concentrations were found in partially yellow coloured tubers, such as Morada, Highland Burgundy Red, and Violet Queen. CONCLUSION: The present characterisation of cultivars and breeding lines with high concentrations of phytochemicals is an important step both to support the consideration of specialty potatoes as a source of healthy compounds, and to obtain new cultivars with positive nutritional characteristics. Moreover, by using near infrared spectroscopy a non-destructive identification and classification of samples with different levels of phytochemicals is achieved, offering an unquestionable contribution to the potato industry for future automatic discrimination of varieties.

On-site identification of esca-affected vines using hyperspectral imaging
(Hellenic Society of Agricultural Engineers, 2025) León Ecay, Sara; Ruiz de Gauna González, Jon; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD
Esca represents one of the greatest threats to modern viticulture as it causes large annual economic losses. At present, there is a lack of effective strategies for disease control, so a technique capable of detecting affected vines would allow annual monitoring of disease incidence in the vineyard leading to a better crop management and decision making. This study evaluates close-range hyperspectral imaging for the detection of esca naturally infected vines. Images of 11 vines of the Tempranillo variety grown on plots in Bodegas Otazu, in Etxauri (Navarre, Spain) were acquired. A Specim IQ snapshot hyperspectral camera was used to record the images on August, 21 2023 on the field under natural light conditions. The camera has a spectral resolution of 7 nm (204 wavelengths) and a spatial resolution of 512 x 512 in the 400 ¿ 1000 nm spectral range (Vis-NIR). An individual image was acquired for each vine, of which 9 were symptomatic and 2 asymptomatic. Three classes were analysed: asymptomatic leaves of asymptomatic vines (Class 1), asymptomatic leaves of symptomatic vines (Class 2) and asymptomatic areas of symptomatic leaves of symptomatic vines (Class 3). A total of 300 pixels were randomly selected, 100 per class, for further analysis. Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) was used to classify the pixels into the three categories. An accuracy of 86% was achieved in the cross-validation dataset. Models were externally validated using an image of an asymptomatic vine and an image of a symptomatic vine. The visualisation of the images showed that the majority of the pixels of the asymptomatic vine image were classified as class 1, while most of the pixels of the symptomatic vine image were classified as either class 2 or class 3. Hence, this study demonstrated the potential of close-range HSI for the on-site detection of esca.

Análisis espacio-temporal de los accidentes mortales con tractor en España durante el período 2010-2019
(Interempresas Media, 2023) Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ibarrola, Alicia; Mangado Ederra, Jesús; Adin Urtasun, Aritz; Arnal Atarés, Pedro; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
El sector agrario y el de la construcción son los que presentan los índices de incidencia de accidentes de trabajo mortales más altos de nuestro país, según los datos recogidos por el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo (INSST) (2021) dependiente del Ministerio de Trabajo y Economía Social (Cirauqui, 2022). Si tenemos en cuenta la evolución de estos índices, el sector agrario es el único que no ha mejorado dicho índice desde la aparición de la Ley 31/1995 de prevención de riesgos laborales y su siniestralidad continúa aumentando (Fundación Mapfre 2020). Pero, ¿qué ocurre cuando el accidente lo sufren personas que no encajan en la definición legal de trabajador? Estos accidentes no son considerados 'accidente de trabajo' y, por tanto, escapan a todas las estadísticas y datos oficiales del INSST. Este suele ser el caso de muchos accidentes que sufren personas jubiladas, menores de 16 años, familiares colaboradores, etc. que no son personas vinculadas a la actividad laboral tal y como se define en la legislación. Según Arana et al. (2010) de un total de 388 accidentes mortales ocurridos en España con maquinaria agrícola durante los años 2004-2008, solamente el 61,85% de ellos tuvieron carácter oficial. Las personas mayores fueron el sector de la población con un mayor riesgo, seguidos de los niños y las personas ajenas al sector agrario. La mayoría de las muertes fueron debidas al vuelco de tractores sin estructuras de protección.

Fuzzy set theory has developed a prolific armamentarium of mathematical tools for each of the topics that has fallen within its scope. One of such topics is data comparison, for which a range of operators has been presented in the past. These operators can be used within the fuzzy set theory, but can also be ported to other scenarios in which data are provided in various representations. In this work, we elaborate on notions for type-2 fuzzy sets, specifically for the comparison of type-2 fuzzy membership degrees, to create function comparison operators. We further apply these operators to hyperspectral imaging, in which pixelwise data are provided as functions over a certain energy spectra. The performance of the functional comparison operators is put to the test in the context of in-laboratory hyperspectral image segmentation.

The aim of this work was to investigate the feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), combined with chemometric techniques, to detect fraud in minced lamb and beef mixed with other types of meats. For this, 40 samples of pure lamb and 30 samples of pure beef along with 160 samples of mixed lamb and 156 samples of mixed beef at different levels: 1-2-5-10% (w/w) were prepared and analyzed. Spectral data were pre-processed using different techniques and explored by a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to find out differences among pure and mixed samples. Moreover, a PLS-DA was carried out for each type of meat mixture. Classification results between 78.95 and 100% were achieved for the validation sets. Better rates of classification were obtained for samples mixed with pork meat, meat of Lidia breed cattle and foal meat than for samples mixed with chicken in both lamb and beef. Additionally, the obtained results showed that this technology could be used for detection of minced beef fraud with meat of Lidia breed cattle and foal in a percentage equal or higher than 2 and 1%, respectively. Therefore, this study shows the potential of NIRS combined with PLS-DA to detect fraud in minced lamb and beef.
