Hyper spectral imaging (HSI) is a non-destructive method that uses the visual and near-infrared wavelengths to determine peanut fatty acids. HSI produces a 3D data cube containing the spectral signature for each pixel in an image. This allows HSI to potentially determine oleic and linoleic fatty acid content, which is important for evaluating peanut oil quality and safety. The paper reviews HSI as an advanced technique that could improve over other methods by being fast, non-destructive, and not requiring sample preparation.
Liver extraction using histogram and morphologyeSAT Journals
Abstract
Liver is the largest glandular organ important for survival in human body. Computed tomography is generally used to image liver
due to its precision. This paper presents a method to extract liver from computed tomography (CT) abdomen images in axial
orientation. A traditional segmentation method based on histogram and morphology is proposed herein. Histogram is used to
analyze the intensity distribution, morphological operations are used to disconnect liver from the neighboring organs and greatest
connected pixels are extracted. The experimental results of the proposed method when applied to CT abdomen images with
contrast are presented and the effectiveness is discussed in accordance to the manual tracing obtained from the radiologist. Dice
similarity co-efficient amounts to 94% in the proposed method.

Qualitative assessment of image enhancement algorithms for mammograms based o...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Breast cancer is one of the leading reason of death among women. Nevertheless, medications for this fatal disease are still away of ambitions. Patients (thought to have breast cancer) should go through several advanced medical diagnostic procedures like mammography, biopsy analysis, ultrasound imaging, etc. Mammography is one of the medical imaging techniques used for detecting breast cancer. However, its resulted images may not be clear enough or helpful for physician to diagnose each case correctly. This fact has pushed researchers towards developing effective ways to enhance images throughout using various enhancement algorithms. In this paper, a comparison amongst these applied algorithms was done to evaluate the optimum enhancement technique. A morphology enhancement, which is resulted from combining top-hat operation and bottom-hat operation, was used as a proposed enhancement algorithm. The proposed enhancement algorithm was compared to three other well-known enhancement algorithms, specifically histogram equalization, logarithmic transform, and gamma correction with different gamma values. Twenty-five mammographic images were taken from the mammography image analysis society (MIAS) database samples. The minimum entropy difference value (EDV) was used as metric to evaluate the best enhancement algorithm. Results has approved that the proposed enhancement algorithm gave the best-enhanced images in comparison to the aforementioned algorithms.
Feature selection/extraction methods aimed to reduce the Microarray data. Basically in this comparative analysis, we have taken into account different feature selection and extraction strategies used up till now in the field of Biomedical. In the field of pattern recognition and biomedical imaging, dimensionality reduction is the central area of the research. Some mostly used features selection/extraction methods aim to analyze the most efficient data and achieve the stable performance of the algorithms, as well as improve the accuracy and performance of the classifier. This analysis also highlights widely used dimensionality reduction techniques used up till now in the field of biomedical imaging for the purpose to explore their potency, and weak points.
DETERMINATION OF TC-99m ACTIVITY AND THYROID UPTAKE IN MEN AND WOMEN PATIENTS...AM Publications
The calculation of Tc-99m activity and thyroid uptake in men and women patients using gamma camera has been done. This study began with the selection of patients with hyperthyroid cases, ie 10 male patients, 10 hyperthyroid fertile And 10 menopausal women. After 5 minutes injection of Radiofarmaka, the new patient underwent thyroid examination using gamma camera. The calculation of absorbent dose in hyperthyroid cases was performed at 5 min, 10 min and 15 min imaging times. The calculation were done by making ROI on the tyroid region and make ROI in other areas besides thyroid that serves as background. The results showed that the uptake thyroid obtained in this study in normal women ranged from 2.10 to 2.55%, and in normal men ranged from 1.49 to 1.74. Meanwhile, for hyperthyroid cases, the thyroid uptake obtained in male patients ranged from 10.92 to 15.43%, in fertile women ranged from 12.42 to 14.57%, and in postmenopausal women ranging from 8.52 to 9.78%. These results indicate that the thyroid uptake in fertile female patients is significantly higher than in men and postmenopausal women.

Feature Selection Mammogram based on Breast Cancer Mining IJECEIAES
The very dense breast of mammogram image makes the Radiologists often have difficulties in interpreting the mammography objectively and accurately. One of the key success factors of computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system is the use of the right features. Therefore, this research emphasizes on the feature selection process by performing the data mining on the results of mammogram image feature extraction. There are two algorithms used to perform the mining, the decision tree and the rule induction. Furthermore, the selected features produced by the algorithms are tested using classification algorithms: k-nearest neighbors, decision tree, and naive bayesian with the scheme of 10-fold cross validation using stratified sampling way. There are five descriptors that are the best features and have contributed in determining the classification of benign and malignant lesions as follows: slice, integrated density, area fraction, model gray value, and center of mass. The best classification results based on the five features are generated by the decision tree algorithm with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, FPR, and TPR of 93.18%; 87.5%; 3.89%; 6.33% and 92.11% respectively.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE ANTIFUNGAL EFFECT OF OILS AND THEIR UNSAPONIFIABLE F...EDITOR IJCRCPS
The main objective of the study was to assess the in vitro antifungal potency of the unsaponifiable fraction extracted
from coat and bark seeds oils of Citrullus colocynthis L against pathogenic fungal strains namely Aspergillus flavus,
Aspergillus ochraceus, Penicillium expansum and Fusarium oxysporum. In terms of the physico-chemical
characterization, oils under study showed evidence of quality standards relating to vegetable oils. Unsaponifiable
matter yield recorded was approximately 0.93% and 1.03%, for the seed coat oil and bark seed oil respectively.
Antifungal activity carried out by radial growth on solid medium (Potatoes Dextrose Agar acidified) revealed that the
oils and the corresponding unsaponifiable fractions exhibited complete inhibition of fungal growth. Maximal antifungal
index inhibition (IAF=100%) were recorded at 5% and 2.5% dilutions of each fraction tested. The results provided
evidence that the unsaponifiable oils fractions might indeed be potential sources of natural antifungal agents and
deserve further studies to characterize the biological compounds included in these fractions.

The present study aims at evaluating effects of dietary fibers of Mango peels (MP) and Date seeds (DS) on the
quality of Arabic bread (AB). MP was added at two levels (2% and 4%) and DS were at 4% and 6%, based on
flour weight. Results showed that DS is considered as a good source of dietary fiber compared to MP. Also, it was
found that MP at different levels improved the overall quality of AB. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
(ANFIS) is used to study the properties AB with the different proportions of mango peel (M) and dates seed (D)
as inputs, and two output properties (crust color CC and crumb texture CT). Experimental validation runs were
conducted to compare the measured values and the predicted ones. The comparison shows that the adoption of
this neuro- modeling technique (i.e., ANFIS) achieved a satisfactory prediction accuracy of about 85%

Packaging material is necessary in the preservation process. Edible films containing essential oils can be incorporated into the conventional food packaging systems with a dual purpose, edible and natural preservative, that can maintain quality, extend the shelf life and reduce the risk of pathogen growth specifically in unprocessed or minimally processed foods like fruits and vegetables. In present study, pumpkin-arrowroot starch based edible film incorporated with carom seed oil at 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% were prepared and studied for the antimicrobial properties. Film with 1.5% Carom seed oil showed exceedingly good antimicrobial activities against E. coli, Staphylococcus and Aspergillus. The films were further studied for physical, mechanical and water vapour transmission properties. The results indicated that the film with 1.5% carom seed oil did not alter the mechanical properties of the film significantly, compared to control film and is ideal for coating to extend the shelf life of food products.

Recently, food safety and guaranteed of food marks have become more important subjects of
foodstuff production and the marketing of processed foods. This paper demonstrates the ability of Mid Infrared
spectroscopy coupled with multivariate regression tools to detect vegetable butter (as adulterant) in a binary
mixture with traditional cow’s butter. Blends of traditional cow’s butter with different percentages of vegetable
butter were measured using Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Mid Infrared Spectroscopy (ATRFTMIR). Spectral and reference data were firstly analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) to check
outliers samples; and improve the robustness of the prediction models to be established. Multivariate regression
methods as Principal component regression (PCR) and Partial least square regression (PLSR) were used to
establish calibration model. Excellent correlation between ATR-FTMIR analysis and studied butter blends was
obtained R2 = 0.99; with Root Mean Square Errors of Prediction < 3.04, Limit of Detection 9.12% (By PCR)
and 6.06% (by PLSR), and Relative Prediction Errors as low as 3.13.

Spices are equally healthy as wild herbs in traditional medicine and can provide green medicine, as they are easy and fast to grow, considered safe to consume globally, contain bioactive ingredients such as polyphenols, and are highly antioxidant in nature [3]. So there is huge export scope too. Ayurveda also promotes synergistic mixture of ingredients and it is proposed here for the most potent spices. Fat medium such as Ghee (clarified butter) enhances the bioavailability of polyphenols such as Curcumin, a flavanoid [4]. Castor oil is another popular Ayurveda treatment for treat MSD.

Abstract
This paper is a review of determination of peanut fatty acids by using Hyper Spectral Imaging (HSI) methods as
a non-destructive food quality and safety monitoring. The key spectral areas are the visual and near-infrared
wavelengths. Few have been published on determination of peanut fatty acids by using HSI as an efficient and
effective method for evaluating the quality and safety of oil. Providentially, the use of HSI has been observed to
have positive effects on determination of food quality and safety (Smith B. 2012). It has gained a wide
recognition as a non-destructive, fast, quality and safety analysis, and assessment method for a wide range of
food products. Literature shows that, HSI is not commonly and widely used therefore this paper aspires to
emphasize the use of HSI on improving the quality and safety of peanut oil and its products based on the
determination of peanut fatty acids. The authors predicted that even in its current imperfect on the affordability,
maintenance and complexity on finding solutions or model approaches to their food quality problems from
optics, imaging, and spectroscopy, yet HSI is the best method than other current existing methods, and can give
an idea of how to better meet market and consumer needs on high food quality and safety for their better healthy.

1.0 Introduction
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) belong in the legume or "bean" family (Fabaceae). It is known by many other local
names such as earthnuts, ground nuts, goober peas, monkey nuts, pygmy nuts and pig nuts (Seijo et al., 2007).
Peanut seeds contain 44-56% oil and 22-30% protein on a dry seed basis. In addition, they are a good source of
minerals (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and potassium) and vitamins (E, K and B groups), (Hassan F. and
Ahmed M., 2012). According to Xue, et al, (2012), peanut also contain polyphenols, phytosterols, active
polysaccharides, phospholipids, dietary fiber and other bioactive ingredients. Fatty acids are important diet for
healthy living. They have several functions in the body including helping in transportation of oxygen in the
bloodstream, aiding cell membrane development and function (necessary for strong organs and tissue), keeping
the skin healthy, preventing early aging, and more importantly, preventing cholesterol build up in the arteries
(Dennis et al, 2003). The composition of fatty acids in peanut oil varies both in quality and in relative proportion
(Onemli F. 2012). These variations may be caused by the nutritional quality of the seed which is strongly
influenced by production location, cultivar and season particularly soil moisture and temperature during crop
growth and seed maturation (Hassan F. and Ahmed M., 2012). It is important to know the content of peanut
fatty acids for the better quality and safety of its product and this will be successfully through using efficient
method such as hyper spectral imaging.
1.1 Composition of peanut oil
Peanut oil like other vegetable oil is determined on the ester which is made up of straight chain higher fatty acids
and glycerine. The fatty acids include the unsaturated; palmitic acid and stearic acid, mono unsaturated fatty
acids; such as oleic acid, and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, linolenic acid; docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (Xue, et al, 2012). Peanut oil is characterized by 45.2% oleic acid
(18:1) and 32.4% linoleic acid (18:2), palmitic (C16:0), and a trace amount of linolenic fatty acid (C18:3),
(Carrin M.E. and Carelli A.A., 2010; Mondragón M. G.et al, 2009). It also contains some stearic acid, arachidic
acid, arachidonic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid and other fatty acids (Anneken et al, 2006).
1.2 Importance of oleic and linoleic fatty acid to oil quality and safety
At present, the fatty acid composition of peanuts has become increasingly important with the realization that the

quality, and flavor of peanut oil and its derived products (Chamberlin K.D, 2014; Onemli F, 2012). The choice
of the fatty acid (FA) is a crucial step in obtaining good results, in particular with short-chain and conjugated FA
(Juanéda P., 2007). Measuring and reporting of the fatty acid content of food is an important step that allows
consumers the opportunity to establish a healthy dietary strategy (Buchanan M.D., 2011). In view of the fact
that, the two leading fatty acids in peanut oil are Oleic and Linoleic fatty acids (Onemli F. 2012), high oleic to
linoleic acid ratio characteristic could confer a significant health advantage to the consumer and has the potential
to greatly enhance the marketability of peanuts (Hassan F. and Ahmed M., 2012).
1.3 Common methods used to determine fatty acids
Generally, the methods for food analysis can be classified as chemical or biological analysis (Alander J.T.,
2013). Different methods used for quality evaluation and determination of fatty acids in peanut oil mostly are
slow and destructive (Nicolaï et l., 2007). Some of the methods include Gas Chromatography (GC), Thin Layer
Chromatography (TLC), High performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Capillary Electrophoresis (CE),
Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS), and HSI.
The most common method used is GC as it has been used traditionally to determine fatty acids in peanut oil
(Chamberlin K.D., 2014). With the exception of NIRS and HSI, other methods are destructive, less efficient and
need preparation of samples, (Scotter, 1997). The well-known, Near-Infrared Reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS)
offers a potential alternative, because it is fast, non-destructive, involves no sample preparation and provides a
safe working environment. Moreover, it is related to overtones and combinations of such chemical bonds as C–
H, O–H, and N–H which has influence on many properties of food and enables both quantitative and qualitative
analysis (Hein M, 1997). However, analysis of spectral measurements is often not easy and requires expertise.
The mathematical and statistical models created might not be general and need to be adjusted to new conditions
and products (Alander J.T., 2013).
Hyper Spectral Imaging (HSI) such as Sichuchema-NIR, Specimen QY, Finland, also known as Chemical or
Spectroscopic Imaging, is an emerging technique that integrates conventional imaging and spectroscopy to attain
both spatial and spectral information from an object (Gowen A.A. et al, 2008). It is the fastest chemical imaging
solution, acquiring spectral images in just a few seconds. The primary advantage of hyper spectral imaging
system is that the operator needs no prior knowledge of the sample because an entire spectrum is acquired at
each point. It can also take advantage of the spatial relationships among the different spectra in a neighborhood,
allowing more elaborate spectral-spatial models for a more accurate segmentation and classification of the image
(Ghita, 2009). Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to emphasize the use HSI as the advanced technology for
determination of peanut fatty acids particularly oleic and linoleic acids and its significance on food quality and
safety.
2.0 Hyper spectral imaging
2.1 Detection of fatty acids by Hyper Spectral Imaging
Hyper spectral imaging is the method used to obtain spectrum for each pixel in the image of a scene that is
invisible to the human eye for the purpose of finding oobjects, identifying materials, or detecting processes. Sisu
CHEMA, like other spectral imaging, collects and processes information from across the electromagnetic
spectrum. Like the human eye sees visible light in three bands (red, green, and blue), spectral imaging extend the
electromagnetic spectrum beyond visible light (400 and 1700 nanometers (Ghita, 2009)) and divides the
spectrum into many more bands. Hyper spectral sensors collect information as a set of 'images', each image
represents a spectral band. These 'images' are then combined and form a three-dimensional hyper spectral data
cube for processing and analysis (Ghita, 2009).
2.2 Production of hyper spectral images
A line of light reflected from the sample enters the objective lens and is separated into its component
wavelengths by diffraction optics contained in the spectrograph; a two dimensional image (spatial dimension -
wavelength dimension) is then formed on the camera and saved on the computer. The sample is moved pass
through the objective lens on a motorized stage and the process repeated; two dimensional line images acquired
at adjacent points on the object are stacked to form a three-dimensional hypercube which may be stored on a PC
for further analysis (Gowen, et al., 2007) as shown in figure 1.

Figure1: Production and storage of hyper spectral image (Gowen, et al., 2007)
2.3 Analysis of hyper spectral images
There are numerous techniques which are used to analyze hyper spectral data, all of which aim to reduce the
dimensionality of the data while retaining important spectral information with the power to classify important
areas of a scene (Gowen et al., 2007). Typical steps in analyzing hyper spectral images include reflectance
calibration, pre-processing, classification and application. Reflectance calibration accounts for the background
spectral response of the instrument and the ‘dark’ camera response.
2.3.1 Reflectance
For reflectance measurements, the background is obtained by collecting a hyper spectral image from a uniform,
high reflectance standard or white ceramic and the dark response is acquired by turning off the light source,
completely covering the lens with its cap and recording the camera response (Gowen et al., 2007). The corrected
reflectance value (R) is then calculated using the following formula: R ¼ (sample - dark) / (background – dark)
(Gowen et al., 2007).
2.3.2 Pre processing
Pre-processing is normally performed to remove non-chemical biases from the spectral information (e.g.,
scattering effects due to surface in homogeneities) and prepare the data for further processing. A number of
spectral preprocessing techniques exist, including polynomial baseline correction, Savitzkye Golay derivative
conversion, mean centering, and unit variance normalization. Other operations usually carried out at the pre-
processing stage include thresholding and masking to remove redundant background information from the hyper
spectral image. Pre- processing must be handled with care to avoid the spectral and spatial variability (Amigo et
al., 2013).
2.3.3 Classification
Hyper spectral image classification enables the identification of regions with similar spectral characteristics. Due
to the large size of hyper spectral images (which can exceed 50 MB, depending on image resolution, spectral
resolution and pixel binning) complex multivariate analytical tools, such as principal component analysis (PCA),
partial least squares (PLS), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), Fishers discriminant analysis (FDA), multi-linear
regression (MLR) and artificial neural networks (ANN), are usually employed for classification image
processing (Gowen et al., 2007).
2.3.4 Application
Application step involve image processing to convert the contrast developed by the classification steps into a
picture depicting component distribution. Grey scale or color mapping with intensity scaling is commonly used
to display compositional contrast between pixels in an image. Image fusion, in which two or more images at
different wavebands are combined to form a new image, is frequently implemented to provide even greater
contrast between distinct regions of a sample (Pohl, 1998). Images may be combined using algorithms based on
straightforward mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. One example
is the band ratio method, in which an image at one wavelength is divided by that at another wavelength (Liu et
al., 2007; Park et al., 2006). The distinction between hyper- and multi-spectral images is sometimes based on an

93
arbitrary "number of bands" or on the type of measurement, depending on what is appropriate to the purpose. It
deals with imaging narrow spectral bands over a continuous spectral range, and produces the spectra of all pixels
in the scene. So a sensor with only 20 bands can also be hyper spectral when it covers the range from 500 to
700 nm with 20 bands each 10 nm wide. It is noted that a sensor with 20 discrete bands covering the Visible
Infrared Spectroscopy (VIS), Near Infrared Reflectance(NIR), Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR), Medium
Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) and Long Wavelength Infrared (LWIR) is be considered as multispectral (Ghita,
2009). The hyper spectral image allows for the visualization of biochemical constituents of a sample, separated
into particular areas of the image, since regions of a sample with similar spectral properties have similar
chemical composition.
2.4 Hyper spectral image acquisition compared to other imaging
HSI has proven to be an outstanding tool for analysis of agricultural and food products. Its fast measurement,
with little or no tedious sample preparation, good adaptability and simultaneous determination of different
attributes makes superior to other imaging methods (Nicolaï et al., 2007) as shown in table 1.

2.5 The composition of peanut oleic and linoleic fatty acids and its role in the quality of oil
It is the composition of fatty acid which plays an important role in the quality and safety of oil because of their
relationship to the shelf life, nutrition, and flavor of peanut oil and other derived products. As depicted in the
table 2 below, there are thirteen fatty acids present in peanut oil. The composition of the two leading peanut fatty
acids (oleic and linoleic) are with average of 37.7% and 34.21 % respectively (USDA, 2012). According to
Berry S.K. (1982), by Gas Chromatography method revealed the occurrence of palmitic (12.22 to13.30%),
stearic (3.17 to 3.67%), oleic (37.94 to 41.90%) linoleic (34.59 to 37.51%), arachidic (1.63 to 1.85%)
eicosaenoic (0.99 to 1.22%), behenic (3.24 to 4.36%), and lignoceric (1.08 to 1.44%) as the major fatty acids in
peanut oil. In addition, Chamberlin K.D. (2014) revealed that the two fatty acids, oleic and linoleic acid
comprise over 80% of the oil content in peanut, and these fatty acids have a strong effect on the stability of the
oil and its products.

2.6 Summary
Fast computers, sensitive detectors, and large data storage capacities as that of HSI are needed for analyzing
hyper spectral data. All of these factors greatly increase the cost of acquiring and processing hyper spectral data
(Schurmer, 2003). One of the barrier the researchers have to face is finding ways to program hyper spectral
dependency to sort through data on their own and transmit only the most important images, as both transmission
and storage of that much data could prove difficult and costly (Schurmer, 2003). The full potential use of a
relatively new analytical technique of hyper spectral imaging has not yet been recognized, so emphasis is
needed. In the past it was unfeasible to obtain information in all four-dimensions of a hypercube using other
methods (refer Table 1).
3.0 RESULTS
3.1 Significances of HSI in food quality and safety
The use of HSI in food science and technology has recently been widely studied and developed, resulting in
many successful applications and comprehensive assessment in the food industry for quality and safety
evaluation and inspection (Win D.T., 2005). The primary use of the imaging system is to conduct food safety
and quality research. Statistical combination of measurements by several sensors as applied in HSI will increase
the likelihood of predicting overall quality and safety. This is because; sensor testing and calibration of HSI must
include a wide range of conditions important in minimizing the limitations (Abbort J.A, 1998). For instance,
Singh, Jayas, Paliwal, & White, 2010a demonstrated the use of HSI in seed color classification, seed kernel
purity determination, identification of sound or stained grains, and detection of midge-damaged in wheat
kernels. Whereby six image features and ten histogram features were extracted from the most significant
wavelengths determined according to the PCA analysis on hyper spectral images, and were then used to develop
statistical discriminant classifiers (linear, quadratic, and Mahalanobis) or a back propagation. Therefore, it is
vital to emphasize the use of non-invasive, efficient and quick testing method for monitoring food quality and
safety.
3.2 Existing issues for consideration on Quality and Safety of food
Nielsen, (2009) reported several issues for considerations on food quality and safety including legal issue, food
processing food quality, adulteration and lipid oxidation. Government regulations (legal issue) often demand that
the amounts of saturated, unsaturated and polyunsaturated lipids (fatty acids) and the amount of cholesterol
should be specified on food labels. In food processing, the manufacture of many foods relies on knowledge of
the type of lipids present in order to adjust the processing conditions to their optimum values, e.g. temperature.
Moreover, desirable physical characteristics of foods, such as appearance, flavor, taste and texture, depend on
the type of fatty acids present. Foods which contain high concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids are
particularly susceptible to lipid oxidation, which can lead to the formation of undesirable flavors and aromas, as
well as potentially toxic compounds such as cholesterol oxides. By measuring the type of lipids present and
comparing them with the profile expected for an unadulterated sample it is possible to detect the adulteration of
fats and oils. On these bases, it is important for food scientists to either know or be able to specify the
concentration of the different types of fatty acids present in oil Nielsen, (2009). Food process control necessitates
real-time monitoring at critical processing points. Fast and precise analytical methods such as HSI are essential
to ensure product quality and safety (Gowena et al, 2007).
3.3 Peanut fatty acids and health benefits
Owing to the steadily growing trend towards the intake of a healthy and scientifically balanced diet, the
selection of high-quality vegetable oils is constantly rising (Hein M., 1997). Besides physical
(seed mass and shape, integrity of seed testa and blanching efficiency) and sensory (seed color, texture, flavor)
factors, nutritional (oil, protein contents, fatty acid and amino acid composition) factors are important in the food
trade (Hein M., 1997). Besides, WHO (2003) reported that the global burden of chronic diseases is rapidly
increase, in 2001 chronic diseases including cardio vascular diseases contributed approximately 60% of the 56.5
million total reported deaths in the world. It has been observed that two important problems in modern lipid
chemistry are purity control and the identification of oils and fats (Alander J.T., 2013). Evidence about the
impact of lipids in different clinical diseases is still increasing rapidly as the understanding of the role that
dietary lipids can play at all ages in preventing diseases related to lifestyle (ISSFAL, 2014). Peanut oil has a role
in a healthy balanced diet even though they are energy dense and contain a high proportion of fat (McKelvith B,
2005).Oils that have high oleic acid content and food products containing these oils have been shown to have

nutritional benefits (Chamberlin K.D., 2014). Oleic acid has been shown to be associated with a reduction in
blood pressure and serum lipoprotein levels. High-oleic peanuts have health benefits over conventional peanuts
because the linoleic (polyunsaturated fat) and palmitic (saturated fat) fatty acids have been naturally replaced by
the healthier oleic fatty acid (monounsaturated fat) (Chamberlin K.D., 2014). According to Win D.T. (2005),
high concentrations of oleic acid can lower cholesterol levels in blood thus, lower the risk of heart problems and
block the action of a cancer-causing oncogene, called HER-2/neu, which is found in about 30% of breast cancer
patients, also has effect on Type II diabetes. Linoleic acid plays a role in pro-inflammatory reactions, blood clots
and allergic reactions.
4.0 Conclusion
HSI are essential for effective food (peanut oil) quality and safety control system as it can sufficient detect the
fatty acid contents (quantity and quality) in the seed and its oil, besides selection of peanut seed varieties with
high oleic and linoleic fatty acids also need to be considered for the good quality and safety of peanut oil and its
product as well.
Food processing industries and food control systems are emphasized to use HSI for ensuring the efficient quality
and safety of the product to meet nutritious and health demand of the consumers. This paper is in line with FAO
and WHO, (2002) guideline in assuring food quality and safety by widening information on good methods or
technique in detecting, evaluating and inspecting and building models on food quality and safety specifically
peanut oil and its products.
HSI has recognized as the best in offering the possibility of designing inspection systems for the automatic
grading and nutrition determination of food quality and safety products. Several applications outlined in this
review show the capability of using HSI for sample classification, and grading, defect and disease detection,
distribution visualization of chemical attributes in chemical images, and evaluations of overall quality and safety
of food products.
Therefore, it is predicted that real-time for food quality and safety surveillance and control systems with this
technique can be expected to meet the requirements of the contemporary food (peanut oil) industrial processing
in the near future, hence maintain health of the consumers.
