Anthony Bernard (Tony) Blakeney (1948–2015) made a unique contribution to near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in Australia and to the development of the Australian Near Infrared Spectroscopy Group (ANISG). An eminent and highly cited grain scientist and carbohydrate chemist, in the 1980s he recognised that NIR-based analyses could aid the production of more and higher quality cereals. Tony was ANISG Treasurer from its inception in 1988 until 2015 and was recognised as a champion of learned societies and their importance in scientific development. This presentation is in honour of Tony’s achievements, and it is a great honour to receive the inaugural award in his name.

In order to add value to recycled textile material and to guarantee that the input material for recycling processes is of adequate quality, it is essential to be able to accurately recognise and sort items according to their material content. Therefore, there is a need for an economically viable and effective way to recognise and sort textile materials. Automated recognition and sorting lines provide a method for ensuring better quality of the fractions being recycled and thus enhance the availability of such fractions for recycling. The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of NIR spectroscopy technology in the recognition of textile materials by studying the effects of structural fabric properties on the recognition. The identified properties of fabrics that led non-matching recognition were coating and finishing that lead different recognition of the material depending on the side facing the NIR analyser. In addition, very thin fabrics allowed NIRS to penetrate through the fabric and resulted in the non-matching recognition. Additionally, ageing was found to cause such chemical changes, especially in the spectra of cotton, that hampered the recognition.

This study attempted the feasibility to determine the ratio of tea polyphenols to amino acids in green tea infusion using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with synergy interval PLS (siPLS) algorithms. First, SNV was used to preprocess the original spectra of tea infusion; then, siPLS was used to select the efficient spectra regions from the preprocessed spectra. Experimental results showed that the spectra regions [7 8 18] were selected, which were out of the strong absorption of H2O. The optimal PLS model was developed with the selected regions when 6 PCs components were contained. The RMSEP value was equal to 0.316 and the correlation coefficient (R) was equal to 0.8727 in prediction set. The results demonstrated that NIR can be successfully used to determinate the ration of tea polyphenols to amino acids in green tea infusion.

The solidification point is a key quality parameter for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The traditional solidification point measurement method of TNT is complicated, dangerous, not environmentally friendly and time-consuming. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) analysis technology has been applied successfully in the chemical, petroleum, food, and agriculture sectors owing to its characteristics of fast analysis, no damage to the sample and online application. The purpose of this study was to study near infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods to develop a fast and accurate quantitative analysis method for the solidification point of TNT. The model constructed using PLS regression was successful in predicting the solidification point of TNT ([Formula: see text] = 0.999, RMSECV = 0.19, RPDCa = 33.5, [Formula: see text] = 0.19, [Formula: see text] = 0.999). Principal component analysis shows that the model could identify samples from different reactors. The results clearly demonstrate that the solidification point can be measured in a short time by NIR spectroscopy without any pretreatment for the sample and skilled laboratory personnel.

The importance of the selection and classification processes in the industry of agricultural products and the increase in the production of fruits make necessary the development and implementation of new techniques to efficiently perform these tasks. Techniques such as NIR spectroscopy have proved to have potential to accomplish this purpose. The aim of this research was to evaluate the performance of near infrared spectroscopy as a classification tool for agraz (Vaccinium meridionale Swartz), according to its state of maturity. In order to obtainthe classification models, the PCA and SIMCA methods were used. Results were obtained close to 100% accuracy in the classification for maturity stages 4 and 5 and between 81 and 90% for maturity stage 3. The NIR spectroscopy appears as a suitable technique for the classification of fruits of agraz according to their state of maturity.

Validation Set

For the fast and exact detection of printing color, we combine the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technique with partial least square (PLS) to build the detection model of printing color. Applying the 144 samples of spectral curve which obtained by the near infrared spectroscopy randomly separated into calibration set and validation set, and base on the 120 calibration set data to establish the prediction model of printing color by PLS, then this model is employed for predicting the color of the 24 validation set. The RMSEC of the 24 blocks’ color parameters L*, a*, b*, E are 0.73, 2.26, 3.03 and 1.09 respectively; The RMSEP are 0.97, 2.77, 3.57 and 1.34 respectively. Those results tell that the NIR spectrum and blocks’ color parameters L*, a*, b*, E could accurately establish a quantitative regression model, applying such model also can accurately predict unknown samples, and the results approximate to the original reference data. The use of near infrared spectroscopy to detect the printed matter nondestructively is feasible, and lays the foundation for the further analysis and establishment of printing chroma model.

Abstract The natural durability of larch wood is described as being highly variable, ranging from non-durable to durable. In this study, FT-NIR spectroscopy was investigated for its ability to predict the natural durability of commercially available larch wood. Samples originated from approximately 60 European and 25 Siberian larch trees, provided by three Austrian-based wood industries. Natural durability tests were performed using the test fungi Gloeophyllum trabeum and Coniophora puteana. FT-NIR spectra were recorded and average spectra were calculated for calibration modelling. The models were strong [R2 (CV)=70.7–95.19, RMSEP=0.063–0.026] and showed better suitability with spectra acquired from radial surfaces compared to those from axial surfaces. The prediction model was valid across larch species (European and Siberian), so that exact knowledge of the growth and site conditions was not required.

Wood Properties

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy provides a rapid method for estimating several important wood properties of 10 mm sections of radial wooden strips. Successful calibrations have been obtained with NIR spectra collected from 3 to 16 consecutive 10 mm sections of the same wood core. The success of these calibrations might be due to an autocorrelation that exists between the adjacent sections of a core. In this study, we compared calibrations with spectra collected from consecutive 10 mm sections to calibrations obtained with spectra collected from unrelated 10 mm sections. Very similar calibration statistics were obtained with both sets of spectra, demonstrating that existing calibration success is not due to an autocorrelation.

This paper presents an overview of research and development of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in Japan. The application of NIR spectroscopy in Japan only stretches back to the early 1980s. Thus, the history is rather short, but progress in the research and development of NIR spectroscopy is extremely fast. The history and present status of NIR spectroscopy in Japan are described and a number of representative applications carried out in Japan are introduced.
