Cross-link density plays a critical role in determining the mechanical strength, elasticity, and long-term performance of prevulcanized (PV) latex products. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for predicting cross-link density in PV latex using InGaAs-based instruments. Two spectrometers operating in the 960–1700 nm range were investigated: a noncontact MicroNIR and a contact AvaSpec system. Partial least-squares regression (PLSR) models were developed using two data sets. Data set I contained only NIR spectra, whereas Data set II combined spectra with industrial process variables, including holding time and latex grade. Cross-link density was referenced using the Prevulcanizate Relaxed Modulus (PRM, 100% and 300% elongation) and Toluene Swelling Index (TSI, 3 and 6 h) methods. Models based solely on Data set I showed limited predictive performance, while Data set II yielded markedly improved accuracy, highlighting the importance of integrating process information. The TSI-based models consistently surpassed PRM, with TSI-3 h identified as the most reliable reference. Using MicroNIR, the best TSI-3 h and TSI-6 h models achieved SEP values of 5.64 × 104 and 5.96 × 104 N·m– 2 and R2 values of 0.96 and 0.95, respectively. Comparable performance between contact and noncontact instruments further confirmed the practicality of noncontact NIR measurement. This work demonstrates, for the first time, that combining InGaAs NIR spectroscopy with process variables enables accurate, rapid, and nondestructive forecasting of TSI-based cross-link density for PV latex manufacturing.

The DM and TSS of durian pulp moving on a conveyor belt were measured for their rapid and non-destructive qualities based on quantitative and qualitative measurements. The calibration set and prediction set equaled 209 and 69 pulps, respectively. The quantitative test compared the performance of PLS regression for DM and TSS prediction developed from full wavelength (860–1754 nm) and a few significant variables using SPA, GA, and VIP methods. The qualitative test identified the possibility of maturity stage classification by comparing three supervised machine learning classifiers, namely SVM, random forest (RF), and LDA. Effective models for DM and TSS prediction were developed from second derivatives spectra combined with the GA method, exhibiting r2, SEP, and RPD of 0.85, 4.50%, and 2.64, respectively for DM, and 0.66, 5.15%, and 1.60, respectively, for TSS. The model classifying samples into two distinct groups, namely “reject” and “pass,” utilizing the LDA algorithm, exhibited an impressive accuracy rate of 94.20%, making it a suitable choice for quality assurance purposes. This result indicates that the few effective variables were more efficient than full wavelength and improved model accuracy with greater model stability. Enhancing the classification model could involve data sample balancing in each group, leading to further improvements.

Freshness is an important parameter that is indexed in the quality assessment of commercial cassava tubers. Cassava tubers that are not fresh have reduced starch content. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop a new approach to detect cassava root deterioration levels using thermal imaging with machine learning (ML). An underlying assumption was that nonfresh cassava roots may have fermentation inside that causes a difference in the inner temperature of the tuber. This creates the opportunity for the deterioration level to be measured using thermal imaging. The features (pixel intensity and temperature) that were extracted from the region of interest (ROI) in the form of tuber thermal images were analyzed with ML. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), support vector machine (SVM), decision tree, and ensemble classifiers were applied to establish the optimal classification modeling algorithms. The highest accuracy model was developed from thermal images of cassava roots captured in a darkroom under a control temperature of 25 °C in the measurement chamber. The LDA, SVM, and ensemble classifiers gave the best overall performance for the discrimination of cassava root deterioration levels, with an accuracy of 86.7%. Interestingly, under uncontrolled environmental conditions, the combination of thermal imaging plus ML gave results that were of lower accuracy but still acceptable. Thus, our work revealed that thermal imaging coupled with ML was a promising method for the nondestructive evaluation of cassava root deterioration levels.

Biomass is renewable energy which is zero neutrality carbon energy. It is used for generating heat energy and electrical energy. Therefore, the use of biomass with high efficiency is important and the quality of biomass related to its energy should be measured before utilization and trading. The measurement of energy indexes of biomass is necessary to the thermal conversion process and the trading of biomass. However, the conventional measurement methods are laborious and take a long time, with a lot of costs. In recent years, near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and imaging technologies (hyperspectral and multispectral images) have been widely investigated and applied as non-destructive, reliable and accurate techniques to monitor the quality and composition of biomass. This chapter contains the principle of NIR and imaging technique including essential component principles, NIR and imaging technique procedures, novel model development methods and applications. The non-destructive measurement of biomass quality as the real time and non- contact measurement will be represented. Moreover, this chapter will describe the application of NIR and imaging techniques for analysing the energy indexes of biomass, such as heating value or calorific value, proximate data, elemental composition, combustion index, pyrolysis characteristics, mechanical properties and so on.

The maturity state of durian fruit is a key indicator of quality before trading. This research aims to improve the near-infrared (NIR) model for classifying the maturity stage of durian fruit using a completely non-destructive measurement. Both NIR spectrometers were investigated: the short wavelength NIR (SWNIR) ranging from 450 to 1000 nm and long wavelength NIR (LWNIR) ranging from 860 to 1750 nm. The samples collected for experimentation consisted of four stages: immaturity, prematurity, maturity, and ripe. Each fruit was scanned at the rind position on the main fertile lobe (header, middle, and tail) and stem. The classification models were developed using three supervised machine learning algorithms: linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machine (SVM), and K-Nearest neighbours (KNN). The analysis results revealed that the use of durian rind spectra only obtained between 83.15% and 88.04% accuracy for the LWNIR spectrometer, while the SWNIR spectrometer provided 64.73 to 93.77% accuracy. The performance of model increases when developing with combination between rind and stem spectra. The LDA model developed using a combination of rind and stem spectra provided the greatest efficiency, exhibiting 97.28% and 100% accuracy for LWNIR and SWNIR spectrometers, respectively. The LDA model is therefore recommended for obtaining spectra from smoothing moving average (MA) + baseline of rind position and when used in combination with the MA + standard normal variance (SNV) of stem spectra. The NIR spectroscopy indicated high potential for non-destructive estimation of the durian maturity stage. This process could be used for quality control in the durian export industry to solve the problem of unripe durian being mixed with ripe fruit.

An empirical model for the estimation of starch content (SC) and dry matter (DM) in cassava tubers was developed as an alternative method to polarimetry and dry oven. These improved estimation equations were developed based on the specific gravity (SG) method. To improve accuracy, the one hundred-seventy-four sample were obtained from four commercial varieties of cassava in Thailand including KU50, CMR38-125-77, RY9 and RY11, respectively. The age of sample collected from four to twelve months after planting was used in this experiment. The empirical model was created from their relationships between SG obtained from small sample size (~100 g) and its SC and DM. The SG for cassava was strongly correlated with the SC and DM, with values for the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.81 and 0.83, respectively. The SC showed a high correlation with the DM, with R2 of 0.96. To confirm that the empirical model was effective when applied to other samples, unknown samples collected from another area were tested, and the results showed a standard error of prediction (SEP) of 1.02%FW and 3.49%, mean different (MD) of -0.66%FW, -0.89% for the SC and DM, respectively. Hence, our empirical equation based on a modified SG method could be used to estimate the SC and DM in cassava tubers. It can help breeders to reduce costs and time requirements. Moreover, breeders could be used the methods to evaluate the SC and DM from the tuber formation to harvesting stage and monitoring the changes in SC and DM during breeding.

This research aimed to propose an online system based on multispectral images for the real-time estimation of the moisture content (MC) of sugarcane bagasse. The system consisted of a conveyor belt, four halogen bulbs, and a multispectral camera. The MC models were developed using machine learning algorithms, i.e., multiple linear regression (MLR), principal component regression (PCR), artificial neural network (ANN), PCA-ANN, Gaussian process regression (GPR), PCA-GPR, random forest regression (RFR), and PCA-GPR. The models were developed using 150 samples (calibration set) meanwhile the remaining 50 samples were applied as a validation set. The comparison of all developed models showed that the PCA-RFR model achieved better detection with a higher accuracy of MC prediction. The PCA-RFR model showed the best results which were a coefficient of determination of prediction (r2 ) 0.72, root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) 11.82 wt%, and a ratio of the standard error of prediction to standard deviation (RPD) of 1.85. The results show that this technique was very useful for MC rapid screening of the sugarcane bagasse.

The use of biomass pellets as a renewable energy source is increasing, leading to the need for rapid assessment of biofuel pellet quality for production monitoring. The purpose of this work was to use line-scan near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral image technology coupled with chemometric tools to assess the elemental components of biomass pellets. The parameters influencing model performance were investigated, i.e. wavelength and spectral pretreatment technique. Either full wavelength or partial wavelength selected using interval successive projections algorithm (iSPA) and interval genetic algorithm (iGA) were investigated. Either raw spectra or pretreated spectra were used for model development. The models were developed using partial least squares regression (PLSR). The most effective model for the prediction of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N) content was developed using iGA wavelength selection and standard normal variate (SNV) spectral pretreatment and provided the highest accuracy with a coefficient of determination of prediction set (r2<inf>p</inf>) and standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.83 and 1.33%; 0.84 and 0.17%; and 0.90 and 0.098%, respectively. The model could be used for quality assurance. The S content model was poor and not recommended. The relationship between pellet chemical parameters and reflectance characteristics could be used for predicting C, H, and N of biomass pellets.

Handheld near-infrared spectroscopy was used to study the effect of integration time and wavelength selection on predicting marian plum quality including soluble solids content (SSC), the potential of hydrogen ion (pH), and titratable acidity (TA). For measurements representing actual conditions, the on-tree fruits were scanned under in-field conditions. The assumption was that the robust model might be achieved when the models were developed under actual conditions. The results of the main effect test show that the integration time did not statistically affect SSC, pH, and TA predictions (p-value > 0.05) and the wavelength range had a significant impact on prediction (p-value < 0.01). An integration time of 30 ms coupled with a wavelength range of 670-1000 nm was the optimal conditions for the SSC prediction, while an integration time of 20 ms with 670-1000 nm wavelength was optimal for pH and TA prediction because of the lowest root-mean-square error of cross-validation (RMSECV). The optimal models for SSC, pH, and TA could be improved using spectral pre-processing of multiplicative scatter correction. The effective models for SSC, pH, and TA improved and reported the coefficients of determination (r2) and root-mean-square errors of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.66 and 0.86 °Brix; 0.79 and 0.15; and 0.71 and 1.91%, respectively. The SSC, pH, and TA models could be applied for quality assurance. These models benefit the orchardist for on-tree measurement before harvesting.

The goal of this study was to predict the soluble solid content (SSC) of on-tree Marian plum fruit using two different wavelength range and algorithm. One of these was the commercial dispersion NIR spectrometer (MicroNIR 1700), providing shortwave infrared (SWIR), while the other was a making diode array spectrometer giving visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR). To search optimal model, the analytical ability of the two wavelength ranges spectrometers coupled with two algorithms: i.e. partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector machine regression (SVR), were investigated. Different spectral pre-processing methods were tested. The model providing the lowest root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) was selected. Overall, the proposed outcome was that the performance of SWIR was more accurate than Vis-NIR spectrometer, and that both SWIR and Vis-NIR coupled with PLSR algorithm had a higher accuracy than SVR algorithm. The best model for on-tree evaluation SSC was the SWIR constructed using the PLSR algorithm with the spectral pre-processing of the 2nd derivative, providing a coefficient of determination of calibration set (R2) of 0.81, a coefficient of determination of validation set (r2) of 0.76, RMSEP of 0.69 °Brix, and a relative standard error of prediction (RSEP) of 4.43%. The outcome showed that a portable SWIR spectrometer developed with PLSR could be used for monitoring the SSC of individual Marian plum fruit on-tree for quality assurance.
