Online NIRS analysis for the routine assessment of the nitrate content in spinach plants in the processing industry using linear and non-linear methods
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study aimed to assess the robustness of the NIRS models developed following different strategies for the routine prediction of nitrate content in spinach plants using an online FT-NIR spectrophotometer. To achieve ...
Hyperspectral Imaging for the Detection of Bitter Almonds in Sweet Almond Batches
(MDPI, 2022)
A common fraud in the sweet almond industry is the presence of bitter almonds in commercial batches. The presence of bitter almonds not only causes unpleasant flavours but also problems in the commercialisation and toxicity ...
Fraud Detection in Batches of Sweet Almonds by Portable Near-Infrared Spectral Devices
(MDPI, 2021)
One of the key challenges for the almond industry is how to detect the presence of bitter almonds in commercial batches of sweet almonds. The main aim of this research is to assess the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy ...
An innovative non-targeted control system based on NIR spectral information for detecting non-compliant batches of sweet almonds
(Elsevier, 2021)
Nowadays, there is growing awareness about the need to develop new methodologies to fight against deliberate fraud. This study explored the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as an instantaneous, non-targeted method ...
Non-destructive determination of fatty acid composition of in-shell and shelled almonds using handheld NIRS sensors
(Elsevier, 2021)
One of the major compounds in almond kernels, which determines their nutritional quality, are lipids. The aim of this research was to determine the fatty acid profile in intact in-shell and shelled almonds (145 samples) ...
Exploring the potential of NIRS technology for the in situ prediction of amygdalin content and classification by bitterness of in-shell and shelled intact almonds
(Elsevier, 2021)
Amygdalin is a cyanogenic compound found in almonds which gives them their bitter taste. For the almond industry, it is important to prevent the presence of bitter almonds in batches of sweet almond that can affect their ...
Routine NIRS analysis methodology to predict quality and safety indexes in spinach plants during their growing season in the field
(Elsevier, 2021)
Cultural practices and harvesting in spinach plants should be based not only on subjective indexes such as freshness and green colour, which are both related with the visual appearance of the plants, but also on objective ...
Assessment of watermelon maturity using portable new generation NIR spectrophotometers
(Elsevier, 2022)
The non-destructive evaluation of internal maturity in watermelons, which are large fruits with a thick rind, during their development on the vine can be considered as a challenge for the growing sector. Near infrared ...
Mapping of fatty acids composition in shelled almonds analysed in bulk using a Hyperspectral Imaging system
(Elsevier, 2021)
The determination of the fatty acid profile in food products is an important issue, as it serves as a guide to consumers who wish to follow healthy diets. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI), permits rapid, non-destructive quality ...
