A methodology such as near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which enables in situ and real-time analysis, is crucial to perform quality control of biodiesel, since it blended into diesel fuel the presence contaminants can hinder its performance. This work aimed compare performance a benchtop Fourier Transform (FT) NIR spectrometer with prototype portable, miniaturized (miniNIR) detect quantify biod...

The measurement and control of soil moisture are the key technologies of precision agriculture. In order to real-time detect soil moisture content faster and more accurately, a portable soil moisture sensor based on NIR spectroscopy was developed. With the sixty soil samples collected from a winter jujube orchard, a linear regression model was established. The determination coefficients of the ...

Reliable and user-friendly discrimination of coffee bean integrity quantification adulteration in the processing value chain would be vital for ensuring consumer trust quality control traceability management. In this research, a portable short-wave NIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric data analysis was employed under different pre-treatments to develop rapid detection technique. Different ...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was applied for the determination of total soluble solid contents (SSC) of single Ruby Seedless grape berries using both benchtop Fourier transform (VECTOR 22/N) and portable grating scanning (SupNIR-1500) spectrometers in this study. The results showed that the best SSC prediction was obtained by VECTOR 22/N in the range of 12,000 to 4000 cm-1 (833-2500 nm) for...

In this study, three common drugs (Cipram®, Panadol extra ®, Xenical®) were investigated. The study involved analyzing the above drugs using the portable NIR spectroscopy. Ten adulterated tablets of each of the above drugs were tested along with ten genuine tablets and other ten placebo tablets which represents another adulterated source for all drugs. Chemometrical Algorithms like Principal Co...
