The size of biological samples is often, by necessity, small and precludes a full and detailed chemical analysis of the material. Near infrared spectra are comprehensive records of the chemical structure and content of a substrate and are thus a rich source of information. To investigate diurnal changes in the chemical composition of duodenal digesta, NIR spectra and difference spectra were used to examine samples collected over a 24h period.

In this paper, a method based on wavelet transform, which is used to analyze near infrared spectra, is discussed with the purpose of prediction of the content of oil, crude protein(CP) and moisture in sunflower seeds. By using different decomposing levels of Daubechies 2 wavelet transform, the near infrared spectra signals obtained from 105 intact sunflower seed samples were de-noised. Calibration equations were developed by partial least square regression (PLS) using the reconstructed spectra data with internal cross validation. It was indicated that the prediction effects varied when different wavelet decomposing level were employed. At the wavelet decomposing level 5, the best prediction effect was obtained, with the coefficient of correlation(R)and root mean square error prediction (RMSEP) being 0.953 and 0.466% for moisture;0.963 and 1.259% for crude protein; 0.801 and 1.874% for oil on a dry weight basis. It was concluded that the near infrared spectral model de-noised by means of wavelet transform can be used for the prediction of chemical composition in sunflower seeds for rapid pre-screening of quality characteristics on breeding programs.

Lipid extracts that exhibit similar near infrared spectra due to their chemical composition were investigated to generate their fingerprint by using pattern recognition techniques. Sunflower, buckthorn, wheatgerm, chrysalis, and olive oils were checked for qualitative and quantitative composition by GC-MS techniques and then analysed by using an NIRSystems Pharma device. Good results were obtained for wheatgerm, chrysalis and buckthorn oil (the “quality areas” do not overlay), but contradictory results were obtained for sunflower and olive oil.

This study examined the effects of long-term storage conditions on the chemical composition, pepsin-cellulase dry matter digestibility (PCDMD), and visible (VIS)/near infrared spectra (NIR) of forage. Eighteen samples of different whole-crop maize varieties originally harvested in 1987 were used. After drying, these samples were analyzed in the laboratory for ash, crude protein (CP), structural carbohydrates, total soluble carbohydrates (TSC), starch and PCDMD, and the remaining samples were stored frozen (at −20°C) or at barn temperature (ambient temperatures ranged from −8.5 °C to 27.1 °C). In 2016, the samples were analyzed for ash, CP, structural carbohydrates, TSC, starch and PCDMD. The visible/NIR spectra of both storage methods were obtained. Chemical composition and PCDMD analyses revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) between the storage methods for TSC but not for the other parameters (p > 0.05). After sample harvesting in 1987, the analyses were compared with those in 2016. It was found that the post-harvest TSC and ash content were higher (p < 0.05) and lower (p < 0.05), respectively, during 2016. No significant differences were found for starch and PCDMD. Important differences between the VIS/NIR spectra of both storage methods were obtained in the VIS segment, particularly in the area between 630 and 760 nm. We concluded that storing dry forage samples at ambient temperature for a very long time (29 years) did not change their nutritive value compared to the values obtained before storage.

Multivariate calibration is a powerful tool for establishing a relationship between spectral variables and properties of interest. Usually, changes in spectral variables are ascribed to changes in the chemical composition of the sample. However, spectral intensities that are measured at varying temperatures do not only change because of changes in sample composition but also respond to the change in temperature. In these cases, multivariate calibration can be (severely) hindered, resulting in a loss of prediction capabilities. This paper provides an overview of the characteristics and possibilities of (most) methods for temperature robust multivariate calibration. The methods are discussed by using two data sets.
