Due to the rapid development of the corn-to-ethanol industry, the demand for process monitoring has led to the gradual substitution of traditional analytical techniques with fast and non-destructive methods such as near infrared spectroscopy. In this study, the feasibility of using Fourier transform–near infrared technology as an analytical tool to predict operational parameters (dry solids, starch, carbohydrate, and ethanol content) was investigated. Corn flour, liquefied mash, fermented mash, and distiller’s dried grains with solubles were selected to represent the feedstock, two intermediate products, and one primary co-product of corn-to-ethanol plants, respectively. Multivariate partial least square calibration models were developed to correlate near infrared spectra to the corresponding analytical values. The validation results indicate that near infrared models can be developed that will predict various parameters accurately (root mean square error of prediction: 0.16–1.14%, residual predictive deviation: 3.0–6.3). Measurement of starch or carbohydrate content in corn flour or distiller’s dried grains with solubles is challenging due to low accuracy of wet chemistry methods as well as sample complexity. The study demonstrated that near infrared spectroscopy, a high-throughput analytical technique, has the potential to replace the enzymatic assay.

Summary. International Standards Committees have formally accepted methods using near infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of protein, moisture and hardness in grains, and protein, acid detergent fibre and moisture in forages. In addition, near infrared spectroscopy is used world-wide for the routine analysis of many constituents in various tissues of many plant species. The reasons for near infrared spectroscopy being adopted as the preferred analytical method in many laboratories include: minimal sample preparation is needed, analysis time is short, it is cost effective to analyse a single sample or large batches of samples, several constituents can be determined simultaneously, the samples are not destroyed during analysis, neither a laboratory nor a skilled operator are required for routine analyses, the use of hazardous chemical reagents is eliminated, and, depending on the method, the results are usually more precise and can be more accurate than, as accurate as, or of acceptable accuracy, when compared with the method usually employed. It is the responsibility of the analyst to choose the most appropriate analytical technique and to follow standard procedures in order to obtain accurate and precise results from routine analysis. This paper summarises some of the applications of near infrared spectroscopy which are being used to analyse plant samples and lists some of the criteria which can be used to decide if near infrared spectroscopy is the most appropriate technique.

The proposed work is focused on the simultaneous quantification of 14 compounds in the medicinal plant Achillea millefolium based on Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR). The regression model of single-compound models (SCMs) and multicompound model (MCM) were created by partial least-squares regression (PLSR). Also, these models were calibrated by gas chromatographic mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The results showed that the averaged standard errors of prediction (SEP) for the SCMs and MCM were 0.49 and 0.62, respectively, and most of the 14 compounds were significantly correlated. 43 correlations were significant at the 0.01 level (47.25% of the total), and 11 correlations were significant at the 0.05 level (12.09% of the total). The first three principal components (PCs) of principal component analysis (PCA) can explain >78% of the total variance. According to the component matrix and the communality table, octadecanoic acid has the largest influence on PC 1 (extraction squared = 46.72%), whose extraction was 0.932. The communality of neophytadiene, Z,Z,Z-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid, and oleic acid was also found to be large, whose extractions were 0.955, 0.937, and 0.859, respectively. These results indicate that if one compound shows a linear relationship with the NIR absorbance signal (SCM) also, an MCM can be created due to the close interrelations of these compounds. In this context, the present work highlights a suitable sample preparation technique to perform NIR analysis of raw plant material to benefit from robust and precise calibrations. To sum up, this NIR spectroscopic approach offers a precise, rapid, and cost-effective high-throughput analytical technique to simultaneously and noninvasively perform quantitative analysis of raw plant materials.
