Transfer is relatively easy between spectrometers of the same type but can be problematic between different instrument models. Two hundred and seventy samples of wheat from Northern Italy were scanned using a Corona Extreme and an Aurora handheld NIR. Samples (n = 46) from three different locations were removed from the original dataset and used for external validation. The PLS calibrations performances were satisfactory, with SECV for Moisture of 0.09 % and 0.13 % and for Protein of 0.28 % and 0.45 %, respectively for Aurora handheld NIR and Corona Extreme. Performance of validation (SEP) within instrument was of 0.07 % and 0.11 % for Moisture and of 0.27 % and 0.37 % for Protein, for the handheld and the process instrument, respectively. When the same calibrations were used to predict samples across instruments, the SEP was of 0.08 % and 0.19 % for Moisture and of 0.34 % and 0.47 % for Protein, for Corona Extreme predicting Aurora handheld NIR and vice versa, respectively. Both instruments can accurately predict the parameters of interest on wheat and could use the same calibration avoiding time-consuming standardization procedures.","PeriodicalId":20429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83066695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Best results (R2 > 0.84 and bias < 0.2) were obtained by PDS using the same variety of fruit in calibration and transfer sets. The use of an apple spectra transfer set was also successful, if the wavelength accuracy of the slave unit(s) is satisfactory.

Garrido-Varo","doi":"10.1255/NIR2017.003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1255/NIR2017.003","url":null,"abstract":"Author Summary: Feed grains are typically transported in bulk and a statistically representative sample of the grain in the truckload is usually required to be taken to the laboratory for wet chemistry or at-line near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy analysis. Currently, most methodologies make use of a physical sampling probe, which mechanically or pneumatically withdraws samples from various depths. Nevertheless, not only is the implementation of this approach expensive and time-consuming, but it is also limited by low sample throughput. In this context, the authors’ group is involved in a large research and development project to find more efficient and cost-effective ways of sampling and analyzing bulk raw materials at the reception level. This work presents a piece of this research focused on the evaluation of the optical performance of two fiber-optic probes designed for automated use as immersion probes in truckloads. It is worth noting the rather different optical design of these two diffuse reflectance probes. Probe A features eight bundles (37 fibers/bundle), four for measurement and four for illumination, 0.5 m in length, and four sapphire windows located around the probe diameter. Probe B has one fiber-optic bundle for measurement (7 fibers) and one for illumination (19 fibers), 3 m in length, and a stainless-steel head with two sapphire windows. The experimental design of this laboratory study aimed at imitating the control of bulk lots of two sort of cereals (maize and wheat). For this purpose, a sample of each cereal was placed into a container (0.34 m in width, 0.4 m in length and 0.25 in height) for analysis. To avoid interferences caused by design, both probes were attached to the same Fourier transform-NIR instrument (Matrix-F, Bruker Optics), and spectra were acquired in the range 834.2–2502.4 nm using the same settings. Two different strategies for recording reference spectra were followed in each case (before the first scan and either after every measurement or after every set of 10 measurements). Noisy regions and spectral repeatability were assessed as a first step towards the evaluation of the feasibility of these probes for performing on-site analysis.","PeriodicalId":20429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91222287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the Consortium purchased several portable spectrometers XNIRTM (dinamica generale®, Poggio Rusco, MN, Italy), to be assigned to the Consortium staff for screening operations of production batches in the fire-branding step, in warehouses and at the packaging step, on cheese paste. To develop predictive models and to evaluate the performance of the portable instruments, 195 samples of Grana Padano were scanned directly on the whole open wheel, scanning both rind and cheese paste. Robust models were built for the prediction of dry matter, fat, fat/dry matter, proteins and proteins/dry matter content using average spectra of rind and paste and chemical data of cheese paste. Additional spectra acquired with two other instruments were included in order to make the models less sensitive to different instruments. Spectra of the same samples acquired at different temperatures (10, 16 and 25 °C) were also added to the dataset in order to reduce the influence of temperature on prediction results. The obtained results showed a satisfactory predictive ability of the models built with portable NIR spectrometers, with respect to the chemical composition of Grana Padano cheese, showing root mean square errors in prediction comparable to that obtained with a Fourier-Transform NIR benchtop instrument. This allows the estimation of average cheese composition, at batch level, using multiple scans taken on a high number of wheels.","PeriodicalId":20429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89942589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The NIRS calibration equations were used to predict the 2-cryptoxanthin, 13-cis β-carotene, trans β-carotene, 9-cis β-carotene, total β-carotene and total carotenoid concentrations of the samples. The predicted values for total carotenoids (TC-pred) ranged from 3.93 μg g–1 to 10.51 μg g–1 with mean of 7.07 ± 2.55 μg g–1 for International Collaborative Trials (ICT), 7.97–11.03 μg g–1 fresh weight with mean of 9.40 ± 0.76 μg g–1 for yellow root trial 8 (Multi-location Uniform Yield Trial) and 6.38–10.44 μg g–1 with mean of 8.74 ± 1.07 μg g–1 for yellow root trial 9 (Multilocation Advanced Yield Trial).

Also, significant (P ≤ 0.001) positive correlation (r = 0.52) exist between trans β-carotene predicted by NIRS and high-performance liquid chromatography reference. The developed NIRS calibration equations could be used to predict total carotenoids and trans β-carotene content of yellow root cassava and serve as rapid and cost-effective screening method for large cassava sample sets.","PeriodicalId":20429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Near Infrared Spectroscopy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81347118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
