Near-infrared (NIR) analysis has become an essential quality control tool for cereal operators worldwide, but can it do more to address the unprecedented challenges in cereal quality across the supply chain? How has near-infrared analysis of cereals become such a powerful tool, and what should we consider when deciding analytical operations for the future? Looking
In today’s dairy industry every drop of milk counts in the quest for efficient production and optimal use of resources. As incoming milk accounts for at least 50 % of production costs, this aspect of production is the prime target for improving the outcome of the dairy process.

Instant Perspective with Infrared Technology Innovation has come through the use of infrared light to look deep into the composition of a liquid sample, all the way down to molecular activity, as this is where a treasure trove of knowledge awaits discovery. All organic molecules vibrate, and this vibration can be observed by passing infrared
FTIR Analysis (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy): Key Aspects FTIR analysis is a spectroscopic technique that utilizes the electromagnetic spectrum naturally occurring within the wavelengths ranging from 2,500 nm to 25,000 nm. The Fourier Transform was initially developed by the French mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768–1830). He would surely be pleased to know that his
