Portable Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Analysis of Crops

In its latest edition The Cereal Foods World journal published an interesting article about tools needed for applied near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in field analysis of crops. The authors are GrainSense COO Kari Jänkälä and GrainSense Business Development Manager Melvin Huber III.

The article gives an overview of the hardware and mathematical modeling needed for the realization of such instruments and, as an example, the performance of a hand-held analyzer (GrainSense) with common wheat is described. Article
