NIR-Spectroscopy

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a technique that uses light in the near-infrared range to analyze the composition of substances. When this light shines on a material, some of it is absorbed depending on the molecules present, while the rest is reflected or transmitted. By measuring these patterns, scientists can determine the amounts of components like moisture, fat, or proteins quickly and non-destructively. NIR spectroscopy is widely used in food, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and other industries for rapid quality assessment and process monitoring.
