To construct the least squares models. training sets were constructed for the coffee and for the peppermint extracts to cover the rangę of the TAC values that incorporated all of the laboratory replicates within the same subscL Thirty samples of coffee extracts and eighteen samples of peppermint extracts were selected for model sets. The remaining fifteen and twelve samples formed test sets for the coffee and peppermint extracts. respeerwety.
For coffee extracts. sińce its geographical origin is known. it is possible to spot a tendency to differentiate between coffee samples collected at different continents on the TC 1 and PC 4 score plot. Along the PC 1. the samples from Afrrca can be separated from the remaining continents (see Fig. 3a). PC 4 models the differences between the Asian coffees and the other ones. The corresponding loading płots, which are presented in the form of a color map, indicate spectral regions that explain the Chemical differences between the samples (see Fig. 3b and c). Each pixel of a map has a color intensity that is proportional to a loading value. The interpretation of a color map of the loadings of PC 1 leads to the con-dusion that coffee samples from Africa are characteńzed by a relatively high content of fluorophores that induces a relatively Iow fluorescence intensity. which can be observed in the dark regions of a color map. On the other hand, samples from Asia contain fluorophores that are character-ized by a relabvely large fluorescence in the dark regions of a color map.
The ORAĆ and TPC values of the same samples were also analyzed. In the case of the peppermint extracts. a relatively strong linear correlarion between the results from rwo antioxidant assays was observed with a correlarion roefficient equal to 0.880. For the coffee exrracts. the agree-ment between the results obtained from rwo assays was rather weak (the correlarion coeffirient value was equal to 0.462); however, the ORAĆ assay is discussed in the literaturę as having weak agreement with other assays (2829|. A morę detailed analysis of the totał antioxidant capadty estimared using either the ORAĆ or the TPC assay did not reveal extreme samples.
