Popis: An analytical methodology using Raman spectroscopy and chemometrics was developed for direct, fast and non-destructive discrimination and prediction of the properties of fragrances according to their composition. The soft independent modeling of class analogies was used as a supervised classification method for fragrances classification, and partial least squares regression as a multivariate calibration method for the prediction of physicochemical properties of fragrances, such as density and refractive index. From 155 fragrance samples, the model exhibited a high success rate for all of the studied fragrance classes, with 100% correct classification. In the multivariate calibration model, adequate correlation was observed between the measured and partial least squares regression-predicted data for refractive index and density, with a relative standard error of prediction between 0.02% and 0.07%, respectively. This study demonstrates the wide applicability of the methodology for the discrimination, classification, and prediction of complex olfactory mixtures in quality control of fragrances.
