This study innovatively proposes a feature fusion technique to determine fatty acid content during rice storage Firstly, a self-developed olfactory visualization sensor was used to capture the odor information of rice samples at different storage periods and a portable spectroscopy system was employed to collect the near-infrared (NIR) spectra during rice storage Then, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the pre-processed olfactory visualization sensor data and the NIR spectra, and the number of the best principal components (PCs) based on the single technique model was optimized during the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) modeling Finally, the optimal PCs were fused at the feature level, and a BPNN detection model based on the fusion feature was established to achieve rapid measurement of fatty acid content during rice storage The experimental results showed that the best BPNN model based on the fusion feature had a good predictive performance where the correlation coefficient (RP) was 0 9265, and the root mean square error (RMSEP) was 1 1005 mg/100 g The overall results demonstrate that the detection accuracy and generalization performance of the feature fusion model are an improvement on the single-technique data model;and the results of this study can provide a new technical method for high-precision monitoring of grain storage quality
