Determination of Brix, fructose, glucose, and sucrose with NIRS.

Determination of these parameters can be done using chromatography instruments. However, these methods can be time-consuming and incur high running costs. On the other hand, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allows the simultaneous determination of many sugars without chemicals or any sample preparation in less than a minute.

Results obtained Vis-NIR spectra

The obtained Vis-NIR spectra were used to create a prediction model for quantification of glucose, fructose, sucrose, and Brix. The quality of the prediction model was evaluated using correlation diagrams which display a very high correlation between the Vis-NIR prediction and the reference values.
