Following the conference presentation, a vivid discussion flared up among the audience that equally involved academic scholars, industry representatives, as well as professionals who carry out every day in-the-field applications. Various aspects were raised connected with the emerged new generation of near-infrared instrumentation, with many individuals expressing their point-of-view on the merits and pitfalls of the miniaturized spectrometers. This vigorous dispute and exchange of impressions indicated that the community remains concerned about the applicability of such devices. That concern reflects the still relatively shallowly explored miniaturization versus performance factor, which can only be dismissed by focused feasibility studies with comparative analyses carried out on scientific-grade benchtop spectrometers. It is the aim of the present manuscript to summarize the discussed scientific content and to share the developed point-of-view with addition of our remarks.","PeriodicalId":113081,"journal":{"name":"NIR News","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133115379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This strategy can, however, also promote the development of superficial scald, a chilling injury-related disorder showing brown-discoloured areas on the fruit skin, totally compromising its marketability. To examine thoroughly the underlying physiological mechanisms and genetic control of superficial scald, the “Scald-Cold” project, a three-year Interegional Project Network, was granted by the European Region Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino (EGTC). The project is centred on a comprehensive approach, integrating into a joint effort different scientific disciplines, ranging from genetics and transcriptomics to NIR spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, together with the employment of distinct postharvest storage technologies distinguished by a specific regime of low oxygen. The core of this project aims to disclose novel regulatory processes of this disorder, providing new series of tools important for both the scientific and technical communities interested in apple breeding and postharvest. The “Scald-Cold” project will identify new molecular markers suitable for the selection of new apple varieties genetically resistant to superficial scald, while developing tools for an early detection of this phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":113081,"journal":{"name":"NIR News","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132882236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has 15 members, including Professor Cunwu Chen, Associate Professor Hui Yan, Dong Liu, Fangli Gu, Chuanbo Sun, PhD, Fucheng Zhu, Chen Song, Peipei Wei, Hui Deng, Xueping Jiang, Fang Wang, and five master students. Figure 1 shows some members of our team. The team members have various theoretical knowledge and practical experiences in NIR spectroscopy, chemistry, pharmacy, biomedicine, computer software, and network engineering, which makes our team scientific and reasonable. After years of development, we have established a multi-level academic team and a system for cultivating talents. The team has developed a lot of projects related to the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the quality of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Many research platforms, such as the national technical system of the TCM industry, national expert service base, Anhui engineering laboratory for conservation and sustainable utilization of TCM resources, and Anhui province collaborative innovation of Dendrobium engineering technology research center, have been established by our team. Recently, the rapid non-destructive analysis method has attracted worldwide attention in the area of TCMs. In 2009, since a National Natural Science project has been carried out in 2009, over 20 research projects have already been obtained by our team which were founded by National forestry industry-standard preparation and revision project, National forestry science and technology promotion demonstration Fund project, Major increase and decrease projects of the central government, National agricultural standardization demonstration area project, The National Key Research and Development Program of China, foundation of Anhui educational committee, excellent youth foundation of Anhui scientific committee, and projects supported by the enterprise. In the past period of time, taking bulk rare and endangered authentic TCMs (Dendrobium huoshanense, Chrysanthemi flos, Peucedani radix, Pseudostellariae radix, Rosae laevigatae fructus, Caryophylli flos, Chaenomelis fructus, etc.) as the research material, our team focused on the core technologies of the applied NIR spectroscopy, such as methods of determination and developments of the hardware devices and software. Fortunately, the team has established a novel NIR spectroscopy pattern recognition system and updated a series of NIR hardware equipment. Especially, the comprehensive quality evaluation on-site, real-time monitoring online, and rapid automatic sorting technology have been systematically investigated. Meanwhile, the team has obtained a series of achievements in science and technology. Eight enterprises have been guided to apply these achievements and achieved obvious economic and social benefits.

I was so surprised to know that application of NIR spectroscopy was initiated not by a spectroscopist but by an agricultural engineer. I began my career as a Raman spectroscopist and I strongly believed that spectroscopy was developed by a spectroscopist. So, it was my truly pristine astonishment to learn that an agricultural engineer woke up “the sleeping giant.” He changed the way of thinking about spectroscopy. He opened a new door for traditional molecular spectroscopy. I was so lucky that my first NIR paper titled “Nondestructive and Noninvasive Monitoring of Deoxyhemoglobin in the Vein by Use of a NearInfrared Reflectance Spectrometer with a Fiber-Optic Probe,” appeared in Applied Spectroscopy 46, 180–182 (1992), caught the attention of Karl. He eagerly encouraged me to work on NIR spectroscopy. Since that time, I could talk with him from time to time. Karl was also very much interested in Raman spectroscopy. More than 25 years ago, he told me that in near future Raman spectroscopy will become a very important tool for nondestructive analysis. He often attended FACSS Meeting (presently SciX). He joined not only NIR sessions but also Raman and other spectroscopy sessions. From time to time, he raised strong questions in a Raman session. He always showed strong keen interest in various fields. He was the father of NIR spectroscopy and at the same time, a father of nondestructive analysis and one of the fathers in chemometrics. Nowadays, Raman spectroscopy uses chemometrics, learning from NIR spectroscopy. Karl always behaved as a gentle father. He liked discussing with people particularly young people. He was always enthusiastic even in the 80s; he never lost curiosity in science and engineering. He was also a man of strong will. He had a number of children in research, grandchildren, and great grandchildren all over the world. His influence is inestimable. The impact of his research is so wide not only in agriculture and food science but also in almost all science and engineering branches. His achievements truly deserve a Nobel Prize. We did lose a great engineer. We have to continue his great achievement and develop them further for the world!","PeriodicalId":113081,"journal":{"name":"NIR News","volume":"422 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126614579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Near infrared absorbance of 700 nm–1000 nm is used to inspect liquids in a bottle. Influence of bottle’s color can be avoided if the second derivative of absorbance at wavelength of more than 800 nm is used to inspect colored bottles. Suspension liquid such as milk can be inspected by reflected light. As various bottled liquids are carried into the airport by passengers, hundreds of bottled liquid such as beverages (soft and hard drinks), cosmetics, perfumes, medicines, shampoos, and so on were collected and their near infrared absorbance spectra were obtained to make a database of discrimination. Correlation coefficient is used to discriminate these liquids. And safe liquid or explosives was identified instantly. An ultrasonic pulse method was also applied to inspection of liquid in a metal can. Kumahira Co. Ltd developed a commercialized product. It was certified by the most reliable evaluation organization European Civil Aviation Conference. In 2019, more than 300 devices have been installed in Japanese airports for anti-terrorism, and some of them have been installed in Japanese Customs to inspect smuggling drugs. The liquid inspection technology can be applied not only in airports but also in many kinds of public places for the safety of public. Near infrared technology has large potential to be applied in more and more fields.","PeriodicalId":113081,"journal":{"name":"NIR News","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116613639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
