Potato Quality

The aim of the present work was to determine the main quality parameters on tuber potato using a portable near-infrared spectroscopy device (MicroNIR). Potato tubers protected by the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI “Patata de Galicia”, Spain) were analyzed both using chemical methods of reference and also using the NIR methodology for the determination of important parameters for tuber commercialization, such as dry matter and reducing sugars. MicroNIR technology allows for the attainment/estimation of dry matter and reducing sugars in the warehouses by directly measuring the tubers without a chemical treatment and destruction of samples. The principal component analysis and modified partial least squares regression method were used to develop the NIR calibration model. The best determination coefficients obtained for dry matter and reducing sugars were of 0.72 and 0.55, respectively, and with acceptable standard errors of cross-validation. Near-infrared spectroscopy was established as an effective tool to obtain prediction equations of these potato quality parameters. At the same time, the efficiency of portable devices for taking instantaneous measurements of crucial quality parameters is useful for potato processors.

Groundwater quality in agricultural area is highly affected by human activities. To determine groundwater quality, several methods are widely applied. Yet, most of them are based on standard laboratory analysis which is normally time consuming, expensive, and involve chemical materials from which may cause another environmental pollution. Thus, a rapid, effective and simple alternative method is required to assess groundwater quality. Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIRS) is considered to be employed due to its advantages. The main purpose of the present study, is to evaluate the feasibility of FT-NIRS technology in assessing groundwater quality parameters: total dissolved solids (TDS) and Sulfate concentration (SC). Transmission spectra data were acquired for groundwater samples from 8 different wells in wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm. Spectra data were corrected by multiplicative signal correction (MSC), while TDS and SC prediction models were established by using partial least squares regression (PLSR) and validated by full cross validation method. Obtained results showed that FTIR is able to detect and predict TDS and SC rapidly. Achieved maximum correlation coefficient (r) and RPD index were 0.86; 1.82 for TDS and 0.83; 1.76 for SC prediction respectively. It may be concluded that FT-NIRS combined with proper multivariate approach, can be used to assess groundwater quality parameters rapidly and simultaneously.

A total of 130 silages samples (53 of maize silages and 77 of grass silages), which were ensiled with or without silage additives, with different soil contamination levels, with different weed percentages and with or without wilting, were used to evaluate the dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) ruminal degradability. The ruminal degradability of the samples was calculated from the corresponding in situ degradation parameters and from the measured passage rates of the silages fed to each experimental animal. The DM and CP degradation parameters were obtained using the logistic model of Van Milgen and Baumont. The fitting of the models to the kinetics of degradation and particle passage was carried out by non-linear regression. The value of the effective degradability, considering in the rumen simultaneously an outflow compartment and a mixing–reduction compartment, were calculated in both cases from an adaptation of the general procedure proposed by Ørskov and McDonald. A NIRSystems 6500 spectrometer was used for the prediction of the DM and the CP degradation characteristics of the samples. Calibration equations were obtained by modified partial least squares regression, using reflectance spectra transformed into the second derivative. The results showed that near infrared spectroscopy is a good method for predicting the DM and CP degradation characteristics. The calibrations for effective degradability of maize and grass silages indicated a high consistency.

The granulation process of pharmaceutical standard formulation in a high-speed shear wet granulation (HSWG) was measured by in-line near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and agitation power consumption (APC) methods. The F-1, F-2, and F-3 formulations (500 g) contained 96% w/w α-lactose monohydrate (LA), potato starch (PS), and a LA:PS = 7:3 mixture, respectively, and all the formulations contained 4% w/w hydroxypropyl cellulose. While adding purified water at 10 mL/min, the sample powder was mixed. The calibration models to measure the amount of binding water (Wa) and APC of the HSWG formulations were established based on NIRS of the samples measured for 60 min by partial least-squares regression analysis (PLS). Molecular interaction related to APC between the particle surface and binding liquor was analyzed based on NIRS. The predicted values of Wa and APC for all formulations were superimposed with the measured values on a straight line, respectively. The regression vector (RV) of the calibration model for Wa indicated the chemical information of all the water in the samples. In contrast, the RV for APC suggested that APC changes in the processes are related to powder aggregation because of surface tension of binding water between particles.

Fresh Cheese

Modern dairy factories produce thousands of cheese blocks per day. Cheese quality is partly defined by the concentration of dry matter and fat. In this study, we evaluated three different near infrared spectroscopy instruments for on-line determination of fat and dry matter in cheese blocks of approx. size 35 × 28 × 12 cm: scanning reflection (908–1676 nm), scanning interaction (760–1040 nm), and imaging interaction measurements (760–1040 nm). The near infrared measurements were performed on fresh cheese blocks in a pilot plant at three different critical control points (CCP): (CCP1) before pressing, (CCP2) after pressing, and (CCP3) after salting. A total of 160 cheeses from 10 production batches were measured. Whereas near infrared measurements were obtained from the surface of the cheese blocks, the reference analysis was done on a cross-section of the cheese blocks. In general, good results were obtained regressing the reference values onto the near infrared measurements using partial least squares regression. For example, using near infrared scanning reflection at CCP2 yielded root mean squared errors of cross-validation on 0.44% and 0.64% for fat and dry matter, respectively. Hence, surface chemistry of cheese blocks were representative for the average chemistry of the blocks. Furthermore, this study finds that it is possible to predict fat and dry matter at CCP3 based on near infrared measurements obtained at CCP1 earlier in the process. This enables improved control of the cheese making process, as it is possible to detect deviations from target quality early in the production process.

Selection Of

Over the last decade, near-infrared spectroscopy, together with the use of chemometrics models, has been widely employed as an analytical tool in several industries. However, most chemical processes or analytes are multivariate and nonlinear in nature. To solve this problem, local errors regression method is presented in order to build an accurate calibration model in this paper, where a calibration subset is selected by a new similarity criterion which takes the full information of spectra, chemical property, and predicted errors. After the selection of calibration subset, the partial least squares regression is applied to build calibration model. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through a near-infrared spectroscopy dataset of pharmaceutical tablets. Compared with other local strategies with different similarity criterions, it has been shown that the proposed local errors regression can result in a significant improvement in terms of both prediction ability and calculation speed.

Milk Samples

Rapid measurement optical techniques have the advantage over traditional methods of being faster and non-destructive. In this work visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (vis-NIRS) was used to investigate differences between measured values of key milk properties (e.g. fat, protein and lactose) in 30 samples of ewes milk according to three feed systems; faba beans, field peas and control diet. A mobile fibre-optic vis-NIR spectrophotometer (350–2500 nm) was used to collect reflectance spectra from milk samples. Principal component analysis was used to explore differences between milk samples according to the feed supplied, and a partial least-squares regression and random forest regression were adopted to develop calibration models for the prediction of milk properties. Results of the principal component analysis showed clear separation between the three groups of milk samples according to the diet of the ewes throughout the lactation period. Milk fat, protein and lactose were predicted with good accuracy by means of partial least-squares regression (R2 = 0.70–0.83 and ratio of prediction deviation, which is the ratio of standard deviation to root mean square error of prediction = 1.85–2.44). However, the best prediction results were obtained with random forest regression models (R2 = 0.86–0.90; ratio of prediction deviation = 2.73–3.26). The adoption of the vis-NIRS coupled with multivariate modelling tools can be recommended for exploring to differences between milk samples according to different feed systems, and to predict key milk properties, based particularly on the random forest regression modelling technique.

Heating Value

This research aimed to determine the higher heating value, volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash content of ground bamboo using Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy as an alternative to bomb calorimetry and thermogravimetry. Bamboo culms used in this study had circumferences ranging from 16 to 40 cm. Model development was performed using partial least squares regression. The higher heating value, volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash content were predicted with coefficients of determination (r2) of 0.92, 0.82, 0.85 and 0.51; root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 122 J g−1, 1.15%, 1.00% and 0.77%; ratio of the standard deviation to standard error of validation (RPD) of 3.66, 2.55, 2.62 and 1.44; and bias of 14.4 J g−1, −0.43%, 0.03% and −0.11%, respectively. This report shows that near infrared spectroscopy is quite successful in predicting the higher heating value, and is usable with screening for the determination of fixed carbon and volatile matter. For ash content, the method is not recommended. The models should be able to predict the properties of bamboo samples which are suitable for achieving higher efficiency for the biomass conversion process.

Hiv 1

Currently, the laboratory diagnostic tests available for HIV-1 viral infection are mainly based on serological testing which relies on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for blood HIV antigen detection and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for HIV specific RNA sequence identification. However, these methods are expensive and time-consuming, and suffer from false positive and/or false negative results. Thus, there is an urgent need for developing a cost effective, rapid and accurate diagnostic method for HIV-1 infection. In order to reduce the barriers for effective diagnosis, a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) method was used to detect the HIV-1 virus in human serum, specifically, three absorption peaks with dose-dependent at 1582nm, 1810nm and 2363nm were found by multiple FBiPLSR test analysis for HIV-nano and HIV-EGFP, but not for MLV. Therefore, we recommend the use of 1582nm, 1810nm and 2363nm as the characteristic spectrum peak, for early screening and rapid diagnosis of serum HIV.
