This study has investigated the potential of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to predict the content of moisture, protein, fat and gluten in rice cookies in different sample forms (intact and milled samples). Gluten-free (n = 48) and gluten (n = 48) rice cookies were formulated with brown and white rice flours in which butter was substituted with fat replacer at 0, 15, 30 and 45%. With regard to gluten cookies, rice flour was substituted with wheat gluten at 1, 3 and 5%. Partial least squares regression modeling produced models with coefficient of determination (R2) values greater than 0.88 from NIR spectra of intact samples and greater than 0.92 for milled samples. These models were able to predict the four components with a ratio of prediction to deviation greater than 2.7 and 3.8 in intact and milled samples, respectively. The results suggest that the models obtained from the intact samples can be successfully applied for chemical composition of rice cookies and are reliable enough use for potential quality control programs.

Compression wood has undesirable properties for structural timber and for paper production. Traditional methods of detecting it are often time consuming and subjective. This study aimed to rapidly and impartially detect compression wood through the use of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and diffuse reflectance near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Compression wood and non-compression wood samples were obtained from young Pinus radiata D. Don trees grown in New Zealand. Longitudinal dimensional changes were measured during drying or water saturation of the samples; lignin and galactose contents were determined using conventional analytical techniques. Chemical composition was here a more reliable discriminator between wood types than longitudinal dimensional changes. It was shown that partial least-squares regression (PLS-R) or discriminatory analysis (PLS-DA) could be used to build models on the training samples that could discriminate between wood types of the independently grown validation samples. Ultimately, both types of spectroscopies could be used to discriminate between compression wood and non-compression wood either through prediction or discriminatory analysis with equal success. Investigation into spectral differences between wood types, including sequential mixtures of wood types, showed that for the mid-IR region absorbance at a well-resolved lignin band could be used to discriminate compression wood from non-compression wood. For NIR, a similar investigation showed that absorbance values at four separate wavenumbers or the 6000–5600 cm−1region of the first derivative spectra were required for that discrimination. It is proposed that if there is a gradual change in the chemical composition of compression wood with its severity, then IR spectroscopy could feasibly be used to rapidly determine compression wood severity.

In situ determination of optimal harvest time of tomatoes is of value for growers to optimize fruit picking schedule. This study evaluates the feasibility of using visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy to make an intact estimation of harvest time of tomatoes. A mobile, fibre-type, AgroSpec VIS-NIR spectrophotometer (Tec5, Germany), with a spectral range of 350-2200 nm, was used for spectral acquisition of tomatoes in reflection mode. The harvest time of tomatoes was measured by the days before harvest. After dividing spectra into a calibration set (70%) and an independent prediction set (30%), spectra in the calibration set were subjected to a partial least-squares regression (PLSR) with leave-one-out cross validation to establish calibration models. Validation of calibration models on the independent prediction set indicates that the best model can produce excellent prediction accuracy with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.90, root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 2.5 days and residual prediction deviation (RPD) of 3.01. It is concluded that VIS-NIR spectroscopy coupled with PLSR models can be adopted successfully for in situ determination of optimal harvest time of tomatoes, which allows for automatic fruit harvest by a horticultural robot.

Incorporating chemical traits in breeding requires the estimation of quantitative genetic parameters, especially the levels of additive genetic variation. This requires large numbers of samples from pedigreed populations. Conventional wet chemistry procedures for chemotyping are slow, expensive and not a practical option. This study focuses on the chemical variation in Pinus radiata, where the near infrared (NIR) spectral properties of the needles, bark and roots before and after exposure to methyl jasmonate (MJ) and artificial bark stripping (strip) treatments were investigated as an alternative approach. The aim was to test the capability of NIR spectroscopy to (i) discriminate samples exposed to MJ and strip assessed 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after treatment from untreated samples, and (ii) quantitatively predict individual chemical compounds in the three plant parts. Using principal components analysis (PCA) on the spectral data, we differentiated between treated and untreated samples for the individual plant parts. Based on partial least squares–discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models, the best discrimination of treated from non-treated samples with the smallest root mean square error cross-validation (RMSECV) and highest coefficient of determination (r2) was achieved in the fresh needles (r2 = 0.81, RMSECV= 0.24) and fresh inner bark (r2 = 0.79, RMSECV = 0.25) for MJ-treated samples 14 days and 21 days after treatment, respectively. Using partial least squares regression, models for individual compounds gave high (r2), residual predictive deviation (RPD), lab to NIR error (PRL) or range error ratio (RER) for fructose (r2 = 0.84, RPD = 1.5, PRL = 0.71, RER = 7.25) and glucose (r2 = 0.83, RPD = 1.9, PRL = 1.14, RER = 8.50) and several diterpenoids. This provides an optimistic outlook for the use of NIR spectroscopy-based models for the larger-scale prediction of the P. radiata chemistry needed for quantitative genetic studies.

Abstract Near infrared spectroscopy coupled with multivariate data analysis has been used to predict the specific gravity, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and fiber stress at elastic limit in bending tests on radial and tangential strip wood samples obtained from five-year-old Eucalyptus tereticornis. Moisture content of samples was 6–21% for bending test and 7–16% for specific gravity. Partial least squares regression calibrations were developed for each wood property. Calibrations had good relationships between values measured in laboratory and NIR predicted values obtained from small clear samples. The coefficient of determination (R2) for calibration ranged from 0.76 to 0.83 and for prediction (Rp 2) it was between 0.58 and 0.77. Both radial and tangential faces are equally suited for calibration (for radial face R2 was 0.77–0.83 and for tangential it was 0.76–0.83). Standard errors of predictions were slightly higher compared to standard error of calibration.

The potential of Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy to predict hydraulic traits in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) sapwood was evaluated. Hydraulic traits tested were P50 (applied air pressure causing 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity) and RWL50 (applied air pressure causing 50% relative water loss). Samples came from 24-year-old spruce clones. FT-NIR spectra were collected from the axial (transverse) and radial surface of each solid wood sample for the prediction of P50 and RWL50. Partial least squares regression (PLS-R) models with cross validation were used to establish relationships between the FT-NIR spectra and the reference data from hydraulic properties analysis. The impact of the wavenumber range and the pretreatment during the PLS-R model development and the differences between the axial and radial surfaces were shown. Based on the values of the coefficient of determination (r2) and the root mean square error of cross validation, predicted results were evaluated as acceptable. The models from the axial surface gave better results than the models from the radial surface for P50 (r2 = 0.65), as well as for RWL50 (r2 = 0.77). The first approach to predict hydraulic properties such as P50 and RWL50 by FT-NIR spectroscopy can be regarded as successful. We conclude that the method has high potential to be put into practice as a rapid, reliable, and nondestructive method to determine P50 and RWL50.

AbstractSoftwood lignin consists mainly of guaiacyl (G) units and low amounts of hydroxyphenyl (H) units. Even in a small percentage, the ratio of H to G (H/G) and the intraspecific variation are crucial wood lignin properties. Analytical pyrolysis (Py) was already successfully used as a reference method to develop a model based on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for the determination of the H/G ratio on Pinus pinaster (Pnb) wood samples. The predicted values of the Pinus sylvestris (Psyl) samples by this model were well correlated (R = 0.91) with the reference data (Py), but with a bias that increased with increasing H/G ratio. Partial least squares regression (PLS-R) models were developed for the prediction of the H/G ratio, dedicated models for Psyl wood samples and common models based on both species (Pnb and Psyl). All the calibration models showed a high coefficient of determination and low errors. The coefficient of determination of the external validation of the dedicated models ranged from 0.92 to 0.96 and for the common models ranged from 0.83 to 0.93. However, the comparison of the predictive ability of the dedicated and common models using the Psyl external validation set showed almost identical predicted values.

This study used visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy for size estimation of tomato fruits of three cultivars. A mobile, fibre-type, VIS-NIR spectrophotometer (AgroSpec, Tec 5, Germany) with spectral range of 350-2200 nm, was used to measure reflectance spectra of on-vine tomatoes growing from July to September 2010. Spectra were divided into a calibration set (75%) and an independent validation set (25%). A partial least squares regression (PLSR) with leave-one-out cross validation was adopted to establish calibration models between fruit diameter and spectra. Furthermore, the latent variables (LVs) obtained from PLS regression was used as input to back-propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) analysis. Result shows that the prediction of PLSR model can produce good performance with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.82, root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 4.87 mm and residual prediction deviation (RPD) of 2.35. Compared to the PLSR model, the PLS-BPANN model provides considerably higher prediction performance withR2of 0.88, RMSEP of 3.98 mm and RPD of 2.89. It is concluded that VIS-NIR spectroscopy coupled with PLS-BPANN can be adopted successfully for size estimation of tomato fruits.

Abstract Neosinocalamus affinis Keng is widely grown in south-western China for pulp and paper production. Rapid assessment of the chemical properties of N. affinis is necessary for both bamboo breeding and industrial utilization. This study was performed to investigate the abilities of Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy in the diffuse reflectance mode (FT-NIR-DR) and Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FT-IR-ATR) spectroscopy to predict the contents of holocellulose, α-cellulose, Klason lignin, and NaOH extractives in N. affinis. Partial least squares regression models based on the raw and preprocessed spectra, including multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) and Savitzky-Golay 1st and 2nd derivative spectra, were developed for the chemical components of bamboo. The NIR-based calibrations displayed better performance than those using FT-IR-ATR spectra. The best calibrations developed by both methods for properties all had satisfactory correlations, with coefficient of determination (R2 c) values ranging from 0.81 (Klason lignin by FT-IR and MSC) to 0.98 (α-cellulose by FT-NIR and 2nd derivative), and root mean standard error of calibration between 0.50 and 1.47%. When applied to prediction sets, the correlations were good, with R2 p above 0.68. The results demonstrate that both spectroscopic methods, combined with chemometric strategies, could rapidly predict the chemical composition of bamboo.

The present study was designed to investigate whether near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with minimal sample processing could be a suitable technique to rapidly measure histamine levels in raw and processed tuna fish. Calibration models based on orthogonal partial least square regression (OPLSR) were built to predict histamine in the range 10–1000 mg kg−1 using the 1000–2500 nm NIR spectra of artificially-contaminated fish. The two models were then validated using a new set of naturally contaminated samples in which histamine content was determined by conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. As for calibration results, coefficient of determination (r2) > 0.98, root mean square of estimation (RMSEE) ≤ 5 mg kg−1 and root mean square of cross-validation (RMSECV) ≤ 6 mg kg−1 were achieved. Both models were optimal also in the validation stage, showing r2 values > 0.97, root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) ≤ 10 mg kg−1 and relative range error (RER) ≥ 25, with better results showed by the model for processed fish. The promising results achieved suggest NIR spectroscopy as an implemental analytical solution in fish industries and markets to effectively determine histamine amounts.

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the prediction of individual and total fatty acids of bovine M. Longissimus dorsi neck muscles has been studied. Beef neck lean was collected from meat processing establishments using advanced meat recovery systems and hand-deboning. Samples ( n = 302) were analysed to determine fatty acid (FA) composition and scanned from 400 to 2498 nm. Total saturated and unsaturated FA values ranged from 43.2 to 62.0% and 38.3 to 56.2%, respectively. Results of partial least squares (PLS) modeling shown reasonably accurate models were attained for total saturate content [standard error of performance ( SEP = 1.10%); coefficient of determination on the validation set ( r2 = 0.77)], palmitic ( SEP = 0.94%; r2 = 0.69), unsaturate ( SEP = 1.13%; r2 = 0.77), and oleic ( SEP = 0.97; r2 = 0.78). Prediction of other individual saturated and unsaturated FAs was less accurate with an r2 range of 0.10 to 0.53. However, the sum of individual predicted saturated and unsaturated FA was acceptable compared with the reference method ( SEP = 1.10 and 1.12%, respectively). This study shows that NIR can be used to predict accurately total fatty acids in M. Longissimus dorsi muscle.
