In the food industry, there is an increasing need to measure new sample types that contain unknown ingredients due to the shift towards more innovative products such as additive-free foods, supplement products, new ingredients, and vegan alternatives. By integrating indirect methods such as Near Infrared (NIR), analysts can instantly know the expected sample values, making it easier to determine the sample preparation procedures for the next steps. NIR has the potential to reduce workload as it allows for calibration adjustments to meet specific needs. Additionally, if sufficient data can be obtained, much more can be achieved with NIR than previously thought. [Case Overview] ■ Increase in unknown sample types due to product development ■ NIR analysis adds value at the sample preparation stage ■ Double reliability ■ Key to NIR success *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
