Thanksgiving Application Note: Predicting Fat Content in Turkey using NIR Spectroscopy
Why Turkey on Thanksgiving? These tasty birds are large enough that they can feed a table full of hungry family, and unlike chickens or cows, they don’t serve much utilitarian purpose like laying eggs or making milk. Since the turkey is native to North America –...Predicting composition of shelled corn (Zea mays) – A Feasibility Study with the StellarCASE-NIR Near-Infrared Analyzer
Introduction If you’ve driven through the mid-western United States, you’ll have noticed that corn is an important and prevalent crop. Corn covers about 90 million acres of farmland in the U.S. and accounts for about two-thirds of global grain trade. The food,...The effect of biostimulants on the yield and quality of broccoli heads during storage
A Kałużewicz, T Spiżewski, W Krzesiński, A Zaworska – Nauka Przyroda Technologie Department of Vegetable Crops Poznań University of Life Sciences Abstract Background. Biostimulants are widely used in horticulture to increase yield and improve its quality as...Application Note – Predicting Ripeness of Avocados with a Near-Infrared Spectrometer System
Introduction The ripeness of an avocado affects its flavor, aroma, color and texture. Ripeness, however, is difficult to determine because the fruit ripens without obvious changes in external appearance. Dry matter content has been established as a surrogate for...A toast to spectroscopy: How Compact Spectrometers are used in ethanol product research
Alcoholic beverages seem like a simple concept at first: take something sugary, throw in some yeast, and ta da! The sugars are fermented into ethanol. But the reality is more complex, even for mass produced products like Budweiser and Charles Shaw. For example, wine...
