Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Drying methods significantly altered the chemical composition of safflower.
- Intervention effect Freeze-dried safflower had significantly higher hydroxysafflower yellow pigment A and anhydrosafflower yellow pigment B than other methods.
- Observation Freeze-dried safflower preserved morphological characteristics, with clear cell arrangement and lower overall shrinkage.
- Method / resource The multiclassification decision forest model achieved 89.1% prediction accuracy for safflower quality.
- Observation B, G and R color features in RGB mode were the most critical indicators for evaluating safflower quality.
