Abstract Using the multiband imager MapCam onboard the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer) spacecraft, we identified 77 instances of proposed exogenic materials distributed globally on the surface of the B-type asteroid (101955) Bennu. We identified materials as exogenic on the basis of an absorption near 1 µm that is indicative of anhydrous silicates. The exogenic materials are spatially resolved by the telescopic camera PolyCam. All such materials are brighter than their surroundings, and they are expressed in a variety of morphologies: homogeneous, breccia-like, inclusion-like, and others. Inclusion-like features are the most common. Visible spectrophotometry was obtained for 46 of the 77 locations from MapCam images. Principal component analysis indicates at least two trends: (i) mixing of Bennu's average spectrum with a strong 1-µm band absorption, possibly from pyroxene-rich material, and (ii) mixing with a weak 1-µm band absorption. The endmember with a strong 1-µm feature is consistent with Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite (HED) meteorites, whereas the one showing a weak 1-µm feature may be consistent with HEDs, ordinary chondrites, or carbonaceous chondrites. The variation in the few available near-infrared reflectance spectra strongly suggests varying compositions among the exogenic materials. Thus, Bennu might record the remnants of multiple impacts with different compositions to its parent body, which could have happened in the very early history of the Solar System. Moreover, at least one of the exogenic objects is compositionally different from the exogenic materials found on the similar asteroid (162173) Ryugu, and they suggest different impact tracks.

SUMMARYCompositional analysis of feeds and other materials by near-infrared reflectance (NIR) has been proposed as a cheap and rapid alternative to traditional wet chemical methods. A theoretical basis for NIR measurements is needed and may be obtained from the study of artificial mixtures of pure chemicals.Mixtures of lactose, casein and sodium oleate, in widely differing concentrations, were analysed by NIR. Principal component analysis was used to study the variations between spectra, and multiple linear regressions gave predictors of sample compositions from the spectra. Optical densities at most combinations of wavelengths gave good predictions of sample compositions because there was much less unexplained variation between NIR spectra than would occur between natural samples.

Abstrak.     Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi akurasi metode analisis pakan dengan metode (Near Infrared Reflectance Sectroscopy) NIRS dalam memprediksi kandungan nutrisi limbah kulit kopi serta mengetahui panjang gelombangnya.  Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Ilmu Nutrisi dan Teknologi Pakan, Univeritas Syiah Kuala, dari Agustus hingga September 2017.  Penelitian ini menggunakan 30 sampel limbah kulit kopi yang terdiri dari 2 varietas kopi yaitu kopi arabika (Coffea arabica) dan kopi robusta (Coffea canephora). Spektrum diukur dengan menggunakan yaitu FT-IR IPTEK T-1516 pada rentang wavelengrh 1000-2500 nm dan di kalibrasi dan validasi dengan menggunakan software The Unscrambler X version 10.4.  Pretreatment yang digunakan yaitu Multiplicative scatter analysis (MSC) dan DeTrending (DT) dengan metode regresi Principal Component Regression (PCR). Parameter nutrisi yang dianalisis yaitu bahan kering (BK), protein kasar (PK) dan serat kasar (SK).  Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa NIRS dengan model yang telah dibangun tidak dapat menprediksi bahan kering dengan baik. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan nilai r, R2 dan RPD yang rendah (0.58, 0.34 dan 3.06) serta RMSEC yang tinggi (3.06). Metode NIRS dapat memprediksi kandungan PK dan SK dengan baik pada penggunaan pretreatment MSC (PK= r: 0.87, R2: 0.76, RMSEC: 0.45 dan RPD: 2.07; SK= r: 0.87, R2: 0.75, RMSEC: 2.83 dan RPD: 2.03). Prediksi kasar untuk PK dan SK didapatkan dengan menggunakan pretreatment DT (PK= r: 0.75, R2: 0.57, RMSEC: 0.60 dan RPD: 1.55; SK= r: 0.84, R2: 0.71, RMSEC: 3.06 dan RPD: 1.88). Analysis of Coffee Pulp (Coffea sp.) Nutrition Content Using Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) Method Abstract.   The aim of present study was to evaluate the accuration of feed analysis method of Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) in predicting nutritional content of Coffee pulp and to know its wavelength.  The study was conducted in  nutrition science and feed technology Laboratory,   Department of Animal Husbandry,  Faculty of Agriculture,  Syiah Kuala University,  august until september, 2017.   As many as 30 coffee pulps  were used in this study and seperated to 2 specieses of coffee, arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) and robusta coffee (Coffea canephora).  The spectrum was scanned using. FT-IR IPTEK T-1516 at 1000 to 2500 nm wavelength and calibrated and validated using The Unscrambler X version 10.4 software. Pretreatment used in this study was Multiplicative scatter analysis (MSC) dan DeTrending (DT) with Principal component regression (PCR) calibration method. Nutrition parameters analyzed were dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and dietary fiber (DF). The results of study showed that NIRS with prediction models that have been build cannot predicted DM content in coffee pulp. This was shown with low value of r, R2 dan RPD (0.58, 0.34 dan 3.06) and high value of RMSEC (3.60). NIRS method can predicted CP and DF content quite well using MSC pretreatment (CP= r: 0.87, R2: 0.76, RMSEC: 0.45 dan RPD: 2.07; DF= r: 0.87, R2: 0.75, RMSEC: 2.83 dan RPD: 2.03). Rough prediction for CP and DM content was obtained by using DT pretreatment (CP= r: 0.75, R2: 0.57, RMSEC: 0.60 dan RPD: 1.55; DF= r: 0.84, R2: 0.71, RMSEC: 3.06 dan RPD: 1.88).

The accuracy of estimates of plant properties based on near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) varies with many factors including the biological material in question and the method used to calibrate the NIRS instrument. This study investigated the accuracy, relative to Kjeldahl analysis, of NIRS analysis based on two calibration methods in estimating nitrogen concentration of four stages and/or parts of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plants. Samples of whole top growth at anthesis, whole top growth at maturity, whole top growth at maturity excluding seeds, and seeds were obtained from two field trials and one phytotron experiment. Two Kjeldahl determinations of nitrogen concentration were obtained for each sample, as well as reflectance values at each of 19 infrared wavelengths, using a Technicon InfraAlyser 400R. Different subsets of the sample data were used for calibration and assessment of accuracy. The instrument was calibrated using stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) and principal component regression (PCR). The residual maximum likelihood procedure was useful in showing that NIRS estimates based on either SMLR or PCR were at least as accurate as Kjeldahl estimates for all stages and/or parts except whole top growth at maturity excluding seeds. Key words: Calibration, principal component regression, stepwise regression

Laurel wilt, caused by the fungus Raffaelea lauricola, affects the growth, development, and productivity of avocado, Persea americana. This study evaluated the potential of visible-near infrared spectroscopy for non-destructive sensing of this disease. The symptoms of laurel wilt are visually similar to those caused by freeze damage (leaf necrosis). In this work, we performed classification studies with visible-near infrared spectra of asymptomatic and symptomatic leaves from infected plants, as well as leaves from freeze-damaged and healthy plants, both of which were non-infected. The principal component scores computed from principal component analysis were used as input features in four classifiers: linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), Naïve-Bayes classifier, and bagged decision trees (BDT). Among the classifiers, QDA and BDT resulted in classification accuracies of higher than 94% when classifying asymptomatic leaves from infected plants. All of the classifiers were able to discriminate symptomatic-infected leaves from freeze-damaged leaves. However, the false negatives mainly resulted from asymptomatic-infected leaves being classified as healthy. Analyses of average vegetation indices of freeze-damaged, healthy (non-infected), asymptomatic-infected, and symptomatic-infected leaves indicated that the normalized difference vegetation index and the simple ratio index were statistically different.

In recent years, the native food industry in Australia has increased in both value and volume due to the discovery of a wide range of phytochemicals (e.g., vitamin C, polyphenols) that have potential health benefits. Thus, plant organs and tissues of these native plants are used in a wide range of applications. In particular, the kernel of a native plum, the Kakadu plum ( Terminalia ferdinandiana, Combretaceae) is considered to be rich in lipids and other phytochemical compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of NIR spectroscopy to analyze and characterize kernel samples and tissues of wild harvest fruit samples. The Fourier transform near-infrared reflectance spectra of cracked kernels, seeds cover tissues, and dry powder Kakadu plum kernels were acquired. Both principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis were used to analyze and interpret the spectral data. A correct classification rate of 93%, 86%, and 80% was achieved for the identification of kernel provenance using all tissues, seed coats, and the whole nuts, respectively. The results of this study reported for the first time the analysis of Kakadu plum kernels and their tissues using NIR spectroscopy.

Bananas are some of the most popular fruits around the world. However, there is limited research that explores hyperspectral imaging of bananas and its relationship with the chemical composition and growing conditions. In the study, the relations that exist between the visible near-infrared hyperspectral reflectance imaging data in the 400–1000 nm range of the bananas collected from different countries, the compositional traits and local growing conditions (altitude, temperature and rainfall) and production management (organic/conventional) were explored. The main compositional traits included moisture, starch, dietary fibre, protein, carotene content and the CIE L*a*b* colour values were also determined. The principal component analysis showed the preliminary separation of bananas from different geographical origins and production systems. The compositional and spectral data revealed positively and negatively moderate correlations (r around ±0.50, p < 0.05) between the carotene, starch content, and colour values (a*, b*) on the one hand and the wavelength ranges 405–525 nm, 615–645 nm, 885–985 nm on the other hand. Since the variation in composition and colour values were related to rainfall and temperature, the spectral information is likely also influenced by the growing conditions. The results could be useful to the industry for the improvement of banana quality and traceability.

Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) is a well-known nutritious and economically important fruit tree found in arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Being diploid, it has extremely high divergence in gender, where sex differentiation in immature date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) has remained an enigma in recent years. Herein, new robust infrared (near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) and Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FTIR/ATR)) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy methods coupled with extensive chemometric analysis were used to identify the sex differentiation in immature date palm leaves. NIRS/FTIR reflectance and 1H-NMR profiling suggested that the signals of monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) and/or disaccharides (maltose and sucrose) play key roles in sex differentiation. The three kinds of spectroscopic data were clearly differentiated among known and unknown male and female leaves via principal component and partial least square discriminant analyses. Furthermore, sex-specific genes and molecular markers obtained from the lower halves of LG12 chromosomes showed enhanced transcript accumulation of mPdIRDP52, mPdIRDP50, and PDK101 in females compared with in males. The phylogeny showed that the mPdIRD033, mPdIRD031, and mPdCIR032 markers formed distinctive clades with more than 70% similarity in gender differentiation. The three robust analyses provide an alternative tool to differentiate sex in date palm trees, which offers a solution to the long-standing challenge of dioecism and could enhance in situ tree propagation programs.
