Item type:Publication, Integrating Vis-SWNIR spectrometer in a conveyor system for in-line measurement of dry matter content and soluble solids content of durian pulp(2021-11-01); ;Sharma, Sneha; ;Leepaitoon, KritsanaphonChunsri, RashphonThe prediction of dry matter content (DMC) and soluble solids content (SSC) in durian pulp were performed using a small laboratory scale in-line visible and short wave near infrared (Vis-SWNIR) spectroscopic system. The fiber optic diode array spectrometer with a charged coupled device (CCD) detector in a wavelength range of 450−1000 nm was used for spectral data acquisition. The spectra of the sample were acquired on the moving conveyor belt in two different orientations, including scanning in the upright position of pulps collected in 2018 and the stable position by scanning on the side of the pulps collected in 2019. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was used to establish the relationship between the spectra and observed DMC and SSC values using the different wavelength ranges, including 450−1000, 700−1000, and 800−1000 nm for the comparison. The results showed that the durian pulp should be scanned in the upright position at the center of the pulp. Moving average smoothing preprocessing combined with the standard normal variate (SNV) for DMC and multiple scatter correction (MSC) for SSC gave the best result. The suitable wavelength range for model development to predict the DMC and SSC was 700−1000 nm and 800−1000 nm, respectively. After comparing the results, the optimum model showed the coefficient of determination of calibration (R<inf>C</inf><sup>2</sup>), and prediction (R<inf>P</inf><sup>2</sup>), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), bias, and the ratio of performance to interquartile distance (RPIQ) of 0.88, 0.83, 4.32 %, 1.25 %, and 3.52 for DMC and 0.70, 0.70, 4.0 %, 0.4 %, and 2.2 for SSC prediction. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Predicting biomass global warming potential with FT-NIR spectroscopy(2025-12-01) ;Gyawali, Prakash ;Shrestha, Bijendra; ;Posom, JetsadaThis research is to predict the global warming potential (GWP) of biomass by using Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy. A partial least squares regression model of 197 biomass chip samples was developed for predicting GWP of fast-growing trees and agricultural residues. The reference value of GWP of biomass sample was calculated by the method provided by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). After applying different spectral pretreatments and variable selection methods, the best model for predicting GWP was found using the 1st derivative spectrum pretreatment and covariance method (COVM) based variable selection. The results indicate GWP model exhibit good predictive capabilities, where the model can be usable with caution for any purpose including research, by achieving a coefficient of determination for prediction set (R<sup>2</sup><inf>P</inf>) of 0.86, and ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) of 2.6. Additionally, the RMSEP of 0.00063 suggests a low prediction error. This pioneering approach presents a swift and efficient means to determine GWP, the complex functionality parameter, which reveals an optimal relationship model, showcasing its efficacy in a significant advancement in the assessment of biomass functionality related to climate change issue. Additionally, the further research is recommended to integrate FT-NIR data with thermogravimetric analyser to simulate of different thermal conversion of biomass type where different emission gases are generated and with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry for evaluation of concentration of the generated gases for further refine GWP predictions which providing more comprehensive insights and exact content of emission gases affect global warming to support the IPCC. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, NIR Spectroscopy as an Alternative to Thermogravimetric Analyzer for Biomass Proximate Analysis: Comparison of Chip and Ground Biomass Models(2024-02-01) ;Shrestha, Bijendra ;Posom, Jetsada; ;Shrestha, Bim PrasadThis study investigates the non-destructive analysis of proximate parameters (moisture content, MC; volatile matter, VM; fixed carbon, FC; ash content) in various chipped and ground biomass using a combination of destructive thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and non-destructive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with partial least squares regression (PLSR). The thermogravimetric method determines proximate analysis data through TG and DTG curves, tracking biomass mass loss over time or temperature. NIRS scans chipped biomass in diffuse reflectance, and ground biomass in transflectance mode, covering the wavenumber range from 3595 to 12,489 cm<sup>−1</sup>. PLSR-based models (Full-PLSR, GA-PLSR, SPA-PLSR, MP PLSR 5-range method, and MP PLSR 3-range method) are developed and evaluated based on R<sup>2</sup>P, RMSEP, and RPD. MC and FC models for chip biomass exhibit satisfactory performance, making them cautiously applicable in various applications, including research. Optimal models for MC and FC in chip biomass, constructed using GA-PLSR with the second derivative and Full-PLSR with a constant offset, yield high R<sup>2</sup>P values (0.8654 and 0.8773), low RMSEP values (0.85% and 2.12%), and high RPD values (2.9 and 3.0), indicating applicative capabilities. Other parameters such as MC and FC in ground biomass, as well as VM and ash content in both chip and ground biomass, are found suitable for rough screening. Model sensitivity, assessed by calculating LOQ, indicates high sensitivity for VM in both chip and ground biomass and FC in chip biomass, as the calculated LOQ value is lower than the minimum reference values used during model development. However, for the remaining parameters, LOQ values surpass the established minimum reference value, suggesting limitations in predicting samples below the calibration range. Continuous model enhancement incorporating an ample number of representative biomass samples and consistent validation with unknown samples are imperative for ensuring accurate predictions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of Environment Temperature and Relative Humidity on Thermal Emissivity: Study Case of Mango Fruit(2024-01-01); ;Sripinyowanich Jongyingcharoen, Jiraporn ;Junto, Apiwat; Dachoupakan Sirisomboon, CheewanunThis research was to study the effect of the environment condition during image captured including temperature and relative humidity in the packaging house of the mango exporting factory and in the orchard on the emissivity of mango fruit. The result showed that in the controlled environment of the packaging house in factory, the emissivity was increased (the mango emitted more energy) when the surface temperature was lower and the emissivity of mango is 0.71-0.84 and in the uncontrolled environment of open-air packaging yard in the mango orchard, the different transpiration rates of mango effected mainly by ambient temperature and relative humidity make the morning condition emissivity of 0.44-0.66 and the afternoon condition of 0.72-0.98. There was the effect of the different measured positions on the fruits where the physiology was different and the fluctuated environment in the latter condition made the wide range of emissivity of mangoes. This indicated the shortcoming of thermal imaging of horticultural product if the correct emissivity varied and difficult to set in the thermal camera setting, hence the inaccurate thermogram to be obtained. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Modeling of Combustion Characteristics in Chip and Ground Biomass from Fast-Growing Trees and Agricultural Residue(2024-03-01) ;Shrestha, Bijendra ;Posom, Jetsada; ; Shrestha, Bim PrasadThis study focuses on the investigation and comparison of combustion characteristic parameters and combustion performance indices between fast-growing trees and agricultural residues as biomass sources. The investigation is conducted through direct combustion in an air environment using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Additionally, partial least squares regression (PLSR)-based models were developed to assess combustion performance indices via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), serving as a non-destructive alternative method. The results obtained through the TGA reveal that, specifically, fast-growing trees display higher average ignition temperature (227 °C) and burnout temperature (521 °C) in comparison to agricultural residues, which exhibit the values of 218 °C and 515 °C, respectively. Therefore, fast-growing trees are comparatively difficult to ignite, but sustain combustion over extended periods, yielding higher temperatures. However, despite fast-growing trees having a high ignition index (D<inf>i</inf>) and burnout index (D<inf>f</inf>), the comprehensive combustion performance (S<inf>i</inf>) and flammability index (C<inf>i</inf>) of agricultural residue are higher, indicating the latter possess enhanced thermal and combustion reactivity, coupled with improved combustion stability. Five distinct PLSR-based models were developed using 115 biomass samples for both chip and ground forms, spanning the wavenumber range of 3595–12,489 cm<sup>−1</sup>. The optimal model was selected by evaluating the coefficients of determination in the prediction set (R<sup>2</sup><inf>P</inf>), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), and RPD values. The results suggest that the proposed model for D<inf>f</inf>, obtained through GA-PLSR using the first derivative (D1), and S<inf>i</inf>, achieved through full-PLSR with MSC, both in ground biomass, is usable for most applications, including research. The model yielded, respectively, an R<sup>2</sup><inf>P</inf>, RMSEP, and RPD, which are 0.8426, 0.4968 wt.% min⁻<sup>4</sup>, and 2.5; and 0.8808, 0.1566 wt.%<sup>2</sup> min⁻<sup>2</sup> °C⁻<sup>3</sup>, and 3.1. The remaining models (D<inf>i</inf> in chip and ground, D<inf>f</inf>, and S<inf>i</inf> in chip, and C<inf>i</inf> in chip and ground biomass) are primarily applicable only for rough screening purposes. However, including more representative samples and exploring a more suitable machine learning algorithm are essential for updating the model to achieve a better nondestructive assessment of biomass combustion behavior. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Identification and Removal of Negative Biomass Samples via Scatter Plot Analysis to Improve GWP Predictive Modeling(2025-11-13) ;Gyawali, Prakash ;Shrestha, Bijendra ;Posom, Jetsada; Accurate prediction of Global Warming Potential (GWP) from biomass constituents is essential for evaluating the sustainability of bioenergy sources. However, the inclusion of biomass samples with weak or negative correlation to key elemental components such as Carbon (C). Hydrogen (H). Nitrogen (N). and Oxygen (O)'can reduce model accuracy and lead to misleading conclusions. This study utilizes scatter plot regression analysis to evaluate and remove "negative biomass samples."defined as those with consistently low R<sup>2</sup> values across constituent-GWP relationships using HHV = 0.2949C + 0.82 50H developed for wood biomass by Yin. Regression models were generated for each biomass species using elemental concentrations as predictors of GWP. Notably, several non-wood species (e.g.. Zea Mays-Shell. Bagasse. Bamboo) exhibited very low R- values (often <0.05) for model between elemental composition and GWP. where all elemental correlations indicated weak predictive relationships. In contrast, wood-based species such as Alnus demonstrated significantly higher R<sup>2</sup> values, especially with Carbon (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.69). Hydrogen (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.57). and Oxygen (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.68), suggesting a stronger linear influence on GWP. Removing these low-contributing samples improved the clarity and reliability of the predictive model related to HHV and each type of element (C.H.N and O) as evidenced by a sharper regression slope of a graph plotted between predicted GWP and measured GWP of positive species and better fit (increased R<sup>2</sup>) for the remaining samples. These results highlight the value of preliminary scatter plot analysis in identifying biomass species that obscure rather than support predictive modeling. This filtering step ultimately enhances the robustness and inteipretability of constituent-based GWP prediction frameworks, particularly when applying FT-XIR spectroscopy and chemometric modelling.
