    Farmers would be able to regulate fertilization and produce quality durian if they knew the nutrient concentration in durian leaves. A long period of time for traditional nutritional content determination is needed. Therefore, near-infrared spectroscopy is a good method for nondestructive and quick nutrient content evaluation. The leaf sample matrices (fresh leaves, dried ground leaves, and dried ground leaf pellets) were scanned by Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) with a wavelength of 12,500–3,600 cm<sup>−1</sup>. Regression models were developed using partial least squares (PLS) with full wavelength, short wavelength, and selected wavelength by successive projections algorithm (SPA). In this study, the model for N and K concentration was acceptable and the prediction was considered good but for P content not had succeeded. As a result, the PLS-SPA model using fresh leaf samples for evaluating N content in durian leaves exhibited performance of r<sup>2</sup> = 0.852, SEP = 0.14%, RPD = 2.63 and bias = −0.020%. The PLS-SPA model using dried ground leaf samples for evaluating K content in durian leaves exhibited performance of r<sup>2</sup> = 0.820, SEP = 0.13%, RPD = 2.36 and bias = 0.006%. This research found that it is possible to apply NIR waves to predict N and K concentrations in durian leaves. It is not necessary to predict directly from the wavelengths associated with -N or -K bonds. Instead, NIR can measure them indirectly from the bonding of proteins, which are products formed by N and K. In addition, selecting the wavelength that is related to the value to be measured can produce results that are not significantly different from using full or short wavelengths. These models can assist farmers in rapidly predicting N and K content in durian leaves for immediate fertilizer adjustment.

    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.

    One consumer acceptability criterion of cooked parboiled rice is its texture, particularly hardness and toughness. The samples were obtained from parboiled rice factory for export. The hardness and toughness calibration models based on milled whole grain near infrared spectroscopy was developed. The ISO 11747 Rice-Determination of Rice Kernel Resistance to Extrusion after Cooking method was used as reference test. The models were established using partial least squares regression (PLSR), principal component regression (PCR) and support vector machine regression (SVM). The PLSR optimal calibration model of hardness with moving average smoothing pre-processing gave coefficient of determination of validation (r<sup>2</sup>), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) of 0.70, 7.24 N and 1.93, respectively. The PCR optimal model of toughness using mean normalization preprocessing provided r<sup>2</sup>, RMSEP and RPD of 0.66, 38.00 Nmm and 1.75, respectively. According to RPD threshold, the models were fair for prediction application. This feasibility study suggested that the NIR protocol developed was applicable for real use due to the error of the NIR scanning and other unexplained errors was only 5% and 1% for hardness and toughness models, respectively. However, the sample preparation before texture analysis has to be improved.

    On-line measurement of activation energy (Ea) is very important in supporting the thermal conversion process. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the Ea of ground bamboo using near infrared spectroscopy in real time. 80 bamboo samples with different diameters were selected using random sampling. Ea was determined using the Coats-Redfern method, and Ea of reaction order (n) at n = 1 and n≠1 was investigated. The performance of on-line measurement predicted by PLS modelling for Ea at n = 1 and Ea at n≠1 showed coefficients of determination of 0.781 and 0.714, respectively; standard error of prediction of 5.249 and 6.858 kJ/mol, respectively; and bias values of −1.0628 and −1.871 kJ/mol, respectively. Both PLS models were found to be fair and could be applied toward screening. The results showed that the vibration bands of lignocellulosic components (CH<inf>2</inf>, hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin) highly influenced model development. Moreover, internal relationships were identified among Ea, the pre-exponential factor (A), and n, such as A (1/min) = 63251 × e<sup>0.2200×Ea</sup> (at n = 1), A (1/min) = 33719 × e<sup>0.2267×Ea</sup> (at n≠1), and n = 0.008 × Ea+0.254. These relationships can be used to evaluate A and n if Ea is known. In the case of this study, Ea was forecasted using an NIR model.

    A feasibility study was performed to assess whether near infrared spectroscopy could evaluate the salt content of curry soup containing coconut milk. The soup samples were from the mixing tank, a water content adjusted tank, the ultra-high temperature pipe, and laminated containers of a food processor plant. In addition, fish sauce adjusted samples made from the same recipe but with increasing or decreasing (±30%, 60%, and 90%) sauce content were prepared. There were 113 samples in total, which were scanned using a Fourier-transform near infrared spectrometer. The prediction models for salt content were established using near infrared spectral data in conjunction with partial least squares regression. Calibration models developed using all of the samples were validated using leave-one-out cross validation and test set validation. The unadjusted sample models were validated using test set validation. The results showed that both validation methods for the calibration models using all of the samples provided similar model performance where the r<sup>2</sup>, root mean square error of calibration/root mean square error of prediction, and residual predictive deviation were 0.956, 0.065%, and 4.77 for cross validation and 0.954, 0.064%, and 4.64 for the test set, respectively. However, the salt unadjusted sample model showed better performance where the r<sup>2</sup>, RMSEP, and RPD were respectively 0.963, 0.043%, and 5.23, indicating that excellent models can be developed to determine the salt content of curry soup containing coconut milk for any applications, including quality assurance.

    Toluene swell or equilibrium swelling is universally used by rubber factories to measure the degree of crosslink of their compounded or prevulcanized latices at different stages of production. To apply near infrared spectroscopy for rapid and accurate quality control, spectral acquisition of prevulcanized latex, thin film and thick film was performed using a Fourier transform near infrared spectrometer in diffuse reflection mode across the wavenumber range of 12,500–3600 cm<sup>1</sup>. For prevulcanized latex an effective model was developed using partial least squares regression with preprocessing (first derivative + straight line subtraction method). The coefficient of determination (r<sup>2</sup>), root mean square error of cross validation and bias of the validation set were 0.71, 3.93% and 0.005%, respectively. For the thin film model the r<sup>2</sup>, root mean square error of cross validation and bias were 0.65, 4.01% and 0.028%, respectively. Whereas for the thick film model the r<sup>2</sup>, root mean square error of cross validation and bias were 0.70, 4.00% and 0.006%, respectively. Three models including prevulcanized latex, thin film and thick film were validated by 23 unknown samples, providing standard error of prediction and bias of 5.357 and 2.494, 4.565 and 1.001 and 3.641 and 0.961%, respectively, for prevulcanized latex, thin film and thick film. The model developed for the thick film spectra gave the best results.

    This research aimed to determine the higher heating value, volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash content of ground bamboo using Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy as an alternative to bomb calorimetry and thermogravimetry. Bamboo culms used in this study had circumferences ranging from 16 to 40 cm. Model development was performed using partial least squares regression. The higher heating value, volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash content were predicted with coefficients of determination (r<sup>2</sup>) of 0.92, 0.82, 0.85 and 0.51; root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 122 J g<sup>-1</sup>, 1.15%, 1.00% and 0.77%; ratio of the standard deviation to standard error of validation (RPD) of 3.66, 2.55, 2.62 and 1.44; and bias of 14.4 J g<sup>-1</sup>, -0.43%, 0.03% and -0.11%, respectively. This report shows that near infrared spectroscopy is quite successful in predicting the higher heating value, and is usable with screening for the determination of fixed carbon and volatile matter. For ash content, the method is not recommended. The models should be able to predict the properties of bamboo samples which are suitable for achieving higher efficiency for the biomass conversion process.

    The aim of this research was to do a feasibility study of near infrared spectroscopy to evaluate soluble solids of curry soup containing coconut milk. The soup samples were collected from mixing tanks, water adjusting tanks, an ultra-high temperature process line and laminated cartons. There were also soluble solids adjusted samples by adding or reducing coconut sugar where the curry was made from the same recipe as in the processing line but increasing 30, 60 and 90% coconut sugar and reducing 30, 60 and 90% coconut sugar from normal. There were 119 samples in total. Sample was scanned with an FT-NIR spectrometer. A prediction model for soluble solids was established using near infrared spectral data in conjunction with partial least squares regression. When validated using a set of test samples, the model developed using spectra pretreated by min-max normalization in the range 9403.8–6094.3 cm<sup>-1</sup>, provided a coefficient of determination (r<sup>2</sup>), root mean square error of prediction, bias and ratio of performance to interquartile of 0.92, 1.0°Brix, 0.1°Brix and 2.4, respectively. It showed the potential of using near infrared spectroscopy to evaluate soluble solids in curry soup. With further development using more natural samples, a more robust model could be achieved to evaluate soluble solids in curry soup in a processing factory.

    This study was to optimize models using near infrared spectroscopy for evaluation of lower heating value, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen content of bamboo. Partial least squares regression was performed using 80 samples of bamboo where 64 samples was randomly assigned for calibration and 16 samples for validation. The result was that lower heating value and element composition did not depend on circumference size. The models showed the coefficient of determination of validation set and ratio of standard error of prediction to standard deviation of reference value of 0.934 and 3.96 for lower heating value, 0.803 and 2.31 for carbon; 0.856 and 2.65 for hydrogen; 0.973 and 6.6 for nitrogen; 0.785 and 2.19 for sulfur and 0.522 and 1.46 for oxygen, respectively. Models for lower heating value, nitrogen and hydrogen content prediction provided the highest performance, which could be used for most application. The carbon and sulfur models were fair and oxygen model was poor. The result could be a guide for applying in bamboo trading as biomass, in design and operation control of energy conversion and in predicting flue gas flow rate, air requirement, and flue gas compositions in combustion, gasification or pyrolysis.

    The analysis of the cross-link density of prevulcanised natural rubber latex using near infrared spectroscopy was conducted using a Fourier transform near infrared spectrometer in diffuse reflection mode over the wavenumber range of 12500- 3600 cm<sup>-1</sup>. As the density of cross-link is an indication of the degree of cure, hence the properties of the latex products, the proposed method is useful for industrial purposes. For samples of prevulcanised latex of 50% total solids content (i.e. PV 50%) at 100% extension (prevulcanisate relaxed modulus 100%), the best model was developed using the partial least squares regression from the spectra, which were pre-treated using the first derivative method, where the coefficient of determination (r<sup>2</sup>), root mean square error of prediction and bias were 0.66, 6.06×10<sup>4</sup> Nm<sup>-2</sup> and 1.63×10<sup>4</sup> Nm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively. The ratio of standard error of prediction to the standard deviation of the reference data in the prediction sample set was 1.8. This model could be used for screening. For samples at 300% extension (prevulcanisate relaxed modulus 300%) for PV 50%, the best model was developed using spectra pre-treated for scattering correction: r<sup>2</sup>, root mean square error of prediction and bias were 0.88, 6.74×10<sup>4</sup> Nm<sup>-2</sup> and 1.35×10<sup>4</sup> Nm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively and the ratio of prediction to deviation was 3.0. Hence, the near infrared spectroscopy technique can be utilised as a rapid screening method for estimating the cross-link densities of prevulcanised natural rubber latex.
