The potential of NIR reflectance spectroscopy for discriminating between pure Arabica and pure Robusta coffees and blends of these two was investigated. Studies were performed on whole and ground beans using a factorial discriminant procedure. For whole beans, in the absence of blended samples, a correct classification rate of 96.2% was achieved. Inclusion of blended samples reduced this figure to between 82.9 and 87.6%. In the case of ground samples, including blends, a correct identification rate of 83.02% was achieved. The molecular basis for discrimination is discussed.

Near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy was used to predict nitrogen (N), acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and chromium (Cr) in beef faecal samples. One hundred and twenty faecal samples were scanned in a NIRSystems 6500 monochromator instrument over the wavelength range of 400–2500 nm in reflectance. Calibration equations were developed using modified partial least squares (MPLS) with internal cross validation to avoid overfitting. The coefficient of determination in calibration ( R2cal) and the standard error in cross validation ( SECV) were 0.80 (0.74) for N, 0.92 (12.04) for ADF, 0.86 (13.5) for NDF and 0.56 (0.07) for Cr in g kg−1 dry weight, respectively. Results for validation were 0.78 ( SEP: 0.1) for N, 0.74 ( SEP: 7.5) for ADF, 0.85 ( SEP: 8.5) for NDF and 0.10 (0.09) for Cr in g kg−1 dry weight, respectively.

Near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy was evaluated for its effectiveness at predicting Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg and Mn concentrations in white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) and red oak ( Quercus rubra L.) foliage. A NIR spectrophotometer was used to scan 470 dried, ground foliage samples. These samples were used to develop calibration equations using a modified partial least squares (MPLS) regression technique. For the calibration equations, concentrations of Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg and Mn as determined by acid digestion and laboratory analysis were regressed against second-difference absorbance values measured from 400 to 2498 nm. The regression models developed by NIR reflectance spectroscopy were unable to predict Fe. Predictions were satisfactory for Al, Ca, K, Mn and Mg. It still is uncertain which mineral/organic associations are being detected by NIR reflectance spectroscopy. Future applications may include prediction of element concentrations in the forest canopy via remote sensing.

The feasibility of near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy in determining various soil constituents such as total organic carbon, total nitrogen, exchangeable potassium and available phosphorus has been investigated, to monitor their concentration during a long-term agronomic trial. Soil samples previously analysed by conventional chemical methods were scanned using a NIRSystems 5000 monochromator and spectra were treated using several algorithms. The first derivative of each NIR spectrum was used for all statistical analyses. Step-up, stepwise and modified partial least squares (MPLS) regression methods were applied to develop reliable calibration models between the NIR spectral data and the results of wet analyses. MPLS almost always gave the most successful calibrations. The results demonstrated that NIR reflectance spectroscopy can be used to determine accurately two important soil constituents, namely total nitrogen and carbon content. This technique could be employed as a routine testing method in estimating, rapidly and non-destructively, these constituents in soil samples, demonstrating soil variations within a long-term field experiment. For other determinations, such as exchangeable potassium and available phosphorus content, our results were less successful but may be useful for separation of samples into groups.

The near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy method can be used in the routine checking of the technical casein. All the chemical and physical characteristics of the product that influence the NIR spectrum affect the qualification. In order to monitor possible deviations in the preparation, it is advisable to carry out some test during the different manufacturing stages. These test are: determination of water, fat, ash, free and total acidity. A set of 66 ground casein samples was used to calibrate the output from NIR instrument InfraAlyzer 500 (Bran+Luebbe GmbH), taking reflectance readings every 2 nm between 1100 nm and 2500 nm. As soon as the spectral scanning had been completed, the casein samples were subjected to the standard wet chemistry analysis. The spectral data from this calibration set was then statistically manipulated using MLR method with the aid of the software SESAME ver. 2.10 (Bran+Luebbe GmbH) to generate calibration models. These calibrations were then applied to a separate set of 20 samples which, for validation purposes, were also analysed by wet chemistry. The casein samples analysis predictions compared with the wet chemistry results on these samples, with standard errors of determination of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.2%, 0.2% and 0.5% for water, fat, ash, free and total acidity, respectively. The use of NIR instrumentation and appropriate calibrations is able to result in a significant saving of laboratory resources when large numbers of the technical casein samples are being processed for analysis.

Near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy was used to determine the chemical composition of chicken breast and thigh muscles. Samples from twenty-four males and twenty-four females were scanned from 400 to 2500 nm, both as intact muscle and as comminuted (minced) tissue. Modified partial least squares (MPLS) regression on scatter corrected spectra (standard normal variates and Detrend) gave calibration models for chemical variables from NIR measurements on the defrosted minced breast samples having multivariate correlation coefficients and standard errors of calibration of 0.995 (2.4), 0.974 (2.11) and 0.946 (4.55) for moisture, crude protein and fat in g kg −1, respectively.

Near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy was used to predict the content of silt, sand, clay, iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) in soil. A total of 332 samples from agricultural soils (0–15 cm depth) in Uruguay (South America) were used. The samples were scanned in a monochromator instrument (NIRSystems 6500, Silver Spring, MD, USA). Two mathematical treatments (first and second derivative) with SNVD (scatter normal variate and detrend) and without scatter correction were studied. Modified partial least squares (mPLS) was used to develop the calibration models. The coefficient of determination in calibration ( R2cal) and the standard error in calibration ( SEC) using the second derivative were 0.81 ( SEC: 5.1), 0.83 ( SEC: 5.3), 0.92 ( SEC: 2.6) for percent sand, silt and clay, respectively. The R2cal and standard error of cross-validation ( SECV) were for Cu 0.87 ( SEC: 0.7), for Fe 0.92 ( SEC: 21.7), for Mn 0.72 ( SEC: 83.0) and for Zn 0.72 ( SEC: 1.2) on mg kg−1 dry matter. It was concluded that NIR reflectance spectroscopy has a great potential as an analytical method for routine analysis of soil texture, Fe, Zn and Cu due the speed and low cost of analysis.

This study investigated the application of near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy to the measurement of texture (sensory and instrumental) in experimental processed cheese samples. Spectra (750 to 2498 nm) of cheeses were recorded after 2 and 4 weeks storage at 4 °C. Trained assessors evaluated 9 sensory properties, a texture profile analyser (TPA) was used to record 5 instrumental parameters and cheese ‘meltability’ was measured by computer vision. Predictive models for sensory and instrumental texture parameters were developed using partial least squares regression on raw or pre-treated spectral data. Sensory attributes and instrumental texture measurements were modelled with sufficient accuracy to recommend the use of NIR reflectance spectroscopy for routine quality assessment of processed cheese.

Grasspea or chickling vetch ( Lathyrus spp.) is a common food legume, widely grown and eaten in northern India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Ethiopia. It contains the neurotoxin beta-N-oxalyl-amino-L-alanine (BOAA), which can cause the disease known as “neuro-lathyrism”, an irreversible paralysis of the lower limbs, if BOAA-rich seeds form a large proportion of the diet. Lathyrus is a drought-tolerant crop, and ICARDA seeks to breed high-yielding lines that are low in BOAA. Conventional methods for determination of BOAA are time-consuming, expensive, and not practicable for screening large numbers of genotypes. Near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy offers a rapid, inexpensive method of analysis. Application of NIR reflectance spectroscopy to the prediction of BOAA in Lathyrus has been achieved by developing NIR reflectance spectroscopy equations involving 88 samples, which represented three species: L. sativus, L. cicera and L. ochrus. Both intact and ground seeds were studied. Content of BOAA ranged from 0.09 to 0.83%. Seeds of L. cicera were significantly lower than those of the other two species. The best results were obtained from whole seeds, using multiple linear regression. The standard error of prediction of 0.05% and coefficient of determination ( r2) of 0.94 are considered quite adequate for use in the Lathyrus breeding programme.
