Abstract This review article for the Karl Norris Award Special Issue consists of four parts. First, the unique history of NIR spectroscopy is described briefly. Then, I discuss the main topic, “what a wonderful world – uniqueness and versatility of NIR spectroscopy.” Next, I introduce our NIR studies for the last 35 years – When did serendipity work in our minds? – a long way of NIR research in the Ozaki group. The investigations on spectral analysis, applications of NIR spectroscopy to physical chemistry, those to life science and NIR imaging studies are reported. Finally, the perspective of NIR spectroscopy is discussed briefly. Through this review, I emphasize on the importance of serendipity in the research.

The first SensorFINT International Workshop of the COST Action 19145 “European Network for assuring food integrity using non-destructive spectral sensors” was hosted by the Faculty of Biotechnology of Universidade Cat olica Portuguesa, in Porto, on 30 September and 1 October 2021 (https://www. porto.ucp.pt/pt/sensorFINT2021). The workshop, which took place in a hybrid format, welcomed a total of 127 participants from 38 nations, with 57% attending in person and 43% online (Figure 1). See more details in our photo gallery (https://www.sensor fint.eu/2021/10/05/1st-sensorfint-international-worksh op-porto-photo-gallery/). The event, entitled “Smart Spectral Sensors for Agri-Food Quality and Process Control,” aimed to stimulate the interaction between a range of stakeholders with particular attention paid to highlighting the opportunities for including NIR sensors as a key part of the on-going digital transformation in food industries. In that regard, the event included several showcases from industry both from equipment manufacturers including Perkin Elmer and Bruker, industrial service providers such as AUNIR, and industrial endusers such as Barilla (Figure 2). From the local agrofood industrial ecosystem, and very importantly, the active presence of Portugal Foods, a federation of the majority of food companies in Portugal, deserves to be highlighted. The event counted also with Hamamatsu, EndressþHauser, and Siroco (mechatronics) as sponsors and active participants. The scientific programme included 16 oral and 36 poster presentations, which were articulated around three main topics. The first, “Smart Sensors in AgroFood,” covering the state of the art and the new domains of application, demonstrated the big advances that have been observed with the application of NIRS in the agri-food production process aiming to assure food integrity. The second topic covered the “Current Challenges in Process Control (PAT) for Food Analysis,” with the requirements for accuracy and sensitivity as well as calibration transferability between different devices being popular subjects.

The 2022 International Diffuse Reflectance Conference will bring together outstanding scientists to discuss their work from the fundamentals of vibrational spectroscopy to the implementation of analytical methods across various industries. The “Chambersburg Conference” will hold sessions from July 30th and to Aug 5th, 2022. It is an excellent opportunity to meet collaborators and the main contributors in areas such as chemometrics, sampling, hyperspectral imaging, and process analytical technology. Recent advances in instrumentation, analytical tools, and methods to enable fast and robust measurements for environmental, agriculture, chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical applications will be discussed along with current and upcoming trends. As in previous editions, the conference will kick off with short courses in vibrational spectroscopy, chemometrics, and data pretreatments for general and intermediate levels. The morning and evening sessions will be complemented with staple activities such as “Predicting your own time” where the time spent walking or running across a nearby trail based on a previous calibration run will be performed and the “chemometrics shootout” where a challenging data set is provided a few weeks before the conference for participants to use their skills and develop the best models. Finally, the 2020 and 2022 Birth Awards will be presented during the closing ceremony. The conference will be in honor to one of its founders, Karl Norris, and a Memorial Session will be organized by his lifelong friend and colleague Phil Williams.

Chemometric multivariate analysis based on low-dimensional linear and bilinear data modelling is presented as a fast and interpretable alternative to more fancy “AI” for practical use of Big Data streams from hyperspectral “video” cameras. The purpose of the present illustration is to find, quantify and understand the various known and unknown factors affecting the process of drying moist wood. It involves an “interpretable machine learning” that analyses more than 350 million absorbance spectra, requiring 418 GB of data storage, without the use of black box operations. The 159-channel high-resolution hyperspectral wood “video” in the 500–1005 nm range was reduced to five known and four unknown variation components of physical and chemical nature, each with its spectral, spatial and temporal parameters quantified. Together, this 9-dimensional linear model explained more than 99.98% of the total input variance.

Between 18 and 21 October 2021, the 20th International Conference on NIR spectroscopy in Beijing took place. Despite this time being held as a virtual event, it was a highly successful symposium met with high interest from the wide audience – as evidenced by many excellent presentations, around which numerous vivid discussions developed. During the conference, four workshops were offered, focused at discussing few areas essential for NIR spectroscopy and its applications. Excellent workshops were provided by Professors Heinz Siesler, Hui Yan, Dolores Pérez-Marín and Tom Fearn, in which invaluable knowledge was shared with the participants of the conference. Among these renowned experts, I had the honour to offer my contribution with the workshop aimed at the physicochemical foundations of NIR spectroscopy, an area that seldom is exhaustively presented in the textbooks. The workshop aimed at shedding light on the complex world of overtone and combination bands and was met with a considerable interest from the participants. As many questions have been asked both during the dedicated Q&A session, as well as through other channels and private correspondence, I would like to provide a short recapitulation of the workshop in the form of this brief article. Some of the most essential ‘take home messages’, such as the origin of the intensity variation of the overtone bands and the famous ‘selection rule’ of the harmonic oscillator, among others will be briefly outlined here.

Research in applied chemometrics in Como began at the end of the 90s, thanks to prof. Andrea Pozzi, associate professor of analytical chemistry in the Faculty of Sciences (currently Department of Science and High Technology) in Como. Working with cultural heritage and environment, he understood the importance of multivariate analysis techniques both in the optimization of analytical methods and in the analysis of complex data. Prof. Pozzi owes his training to prof. Roberto Todeschini, head of the Milano Chemometrics and QSAR Research Group, and since then he transmitted his passion for chemometrics to his students and among them to Barbara Giussani, a young student (this was me at that time!) interested in analytical chemistry. In 2000 I decided to improve my knowledge in chemometrics with an ERASMUS period at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona), under the supervision of prof. Ricard Boqu e, and since that time applied chemometrics has become my main research topic. Interestingly, the first data set that prof. Boqu e gave me and on which he gave me the very first bases of Principal Component Analysis, concerned forages analysed by NIR spectroscopy. Giulia Gorla, PhD student

Italian researchers involved in near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy present themselves to the international community. Following the example of these colleagues, we introduce the activity of the NIRSXRF-wet chemistry laboratory and the active research groups. The NIRS section of the laboratory was founded in 1994, from the intuition of Igino Andrighetto and Paolo Berzaghi, with the purchase of a NIRSystem 5000 monochromator instrument (FOSS, Hilleroed, DK). The laboratory immediately assumes relevance in applicative research in the agriculture field and attracts the interest of private companies and farmers who start stipulating contracts for analyses, even due to the intuition of calibrating the instrument for the rapid analysis of wet samples, such as fodder, food, rations for cows, etc. Paolo Berzaghi distinguishes himself in the international NIR community due to his close contact with John Shenk. In 1992, Antonella Dalle Zotte also began to approach NIR technology thanks to the collaboration with Giorgio Masoero, one of the Italian pioneers of NIR technology, focusing the first studies on the quality estimation of muscle foods with NIR instruments. Massimo Mirisola and Lorenzo Serva join the laboratory in subsequent years, and new instruments are purchased: a second NIRSystem 5000 (spinning cup module) and a CORONA 45 (CARL ZEISS AG, Jena, DE). In the early 2000s, the field of interest expands to human food quality and authenticity. Between 2004 and 2010, the research group turns its attention to portable instruments, and research is carried out for their application on agricultural machinery, such as combine harvesters, mixer wagons and grape harvesting machines, working in close collaboration with the industry. The new commitments require the hiring of two young graduates, Francesco Benozzo and Jacopo Ferlito. Subsequently, two startups are founded, Grainit Srl (Padova, IT) and ITPhotonics (Fara Vicentino, IT), and some patents are filed on the implementation of NIR instrument or its application on operating machines. In 2011, the research laboratory is included in the Department of Animal Medicine, Production and Health (MAPS) and provides wet chemistry, NIRS and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyses, also offering a commercial service to interested stakeholders (in particular to agriculture and livestock sectors). The laboratory purchases a Spectrastar 2500 (Unity Scientific, Milford, MA, USA) and a Nicolet Avatar 360 FT-IR (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Waltham, MA, USA), and as such equipped, it also responds to the growing demand for analytical service for products and byproducts destined for biogas production plants. In recent years, following the development of portable instruments, the laboratory provides a calibration rental service. In 2015 Antonella Dalle Zotte takes over the scientific direction of the laboratory. Sandro Tenti becomes part of the laboratory staff, and the laboratory is equipped with chromatographic analysis instrument
意大利近红外(NIR)光谱研究人员向国际社会展示了自己。以这些同事为例，我们介绍了nirsxrf湿化学实验室的活动和活跃的研究小组。该实验室的近红外光谱部分成立于1994年，根据Igino Andrighetto和Paolo Berzaghi的直觉，购买了一台NIRSystem 5000单色仪(FOSS, Hilleroed, DK)。该实验室立即在农业领域的应用研究中具有相关性，并吸引了私营公司和农民的兴趣，他们开始规定分析合同，甚至由于校准仪器用于快速分析湿样品(如饲料，食品，奶牛口粮等)的直觉。保罗·贝尔扎吉因与约翰·申克的密切接触而在国际近红外领域脱颖而出。1992年，Antonella Dalle Zotte也开始接触近红外技术，这得益于与意大利近红外技术先驱之一Giorgio Masoero的合作，首次将研究重点集中在用近红外仪器对肌肉食品的质量评估上。Massimo Mirisola和Lorenzo Serva在随后的几年中加入了实验室，并购买了新的仪器:第二个NIRSystem 5000(旋转杯模块)和CORONA 45(卡尔蔡司股份公司，耶拿，DE)。在21世纪初，兴趣领域扩展到人类食品质量和真实性。2004年至2010年间，研究小组将注意力转向便携式仪器，并与行业密切合作，研究其在农业机械上的应用，如联合收割机、搅拌车和葡萄收割机。新的承诺需要聘请两位年轻的毕业生，弗朗西斯科·贝诺佐和雅各布·费利托。随后，成立了Grainit Srl (Padova, IT)和ITPhotonics (Fara Vicentino, IT)两家初创公司，并就近红外仪器的实施或在操作机器上的应用申请了一些专利。2011年，该研究实验室被纳入动物医学、生产和卫生司(MAPS)，提供湿化学、近红外光谱和x射线荧光(XRF)分析，也向感兴趣的利益相关者(特别是农业和畜牧业)提供商业服务。该实验室购买了一台Spectrastar 2500 (united Scientific, Milford, MA, USA)和一台Nicolet Avatar 360 FT-IR (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Waltham, MA, USA)，作为这样的设备，它也响应了对用于沼气生产工厂的产品和副产品的分析服务日益增长的需求。近年来，随着便携式仪器的发展，实验室提供了校准租赁服务。2015年，Antonella Dalle Zotte接管了实验室的科学方向。Sandro Tenti成为实验室的一员，实验室配备了色谱分析仪器和工具，用于评估肉类和蛋类产品的质量和保质期。与国家(SIS-NIR)和国际社会合作，研究人员聘请了“NIR on the Go 2004”会议(2004年)和“NIR ITALIA 2012第五届意大利近红外光谱研讨会”(2010年)在Agripolis校区举行。

Following the example of these colleagues, we introduce the activity of the NIRSXRF-wet chemistry laboratory and the active research groups. The NIRS section of the laboratory was founded in 1994, from the intuition of Igino Andrighetto and Paolo Berzaghi, with the purchase of a NIRSystem 5000 monochromator instrument (FOSS, Hilleroed, DK). The laboratory immediately assumes relevance in applicative research in the agriculture field and attracts the interest of private companies and farmers who start stipulating contracts for analyses, even due to the intuition of calibrating the instrument for the rapid analysis of wet samples, such as fodder, food, rations for cows, etc. Paolo Berzaghi distinguishes himself in the international NIR community due to his close contact with John Shenk. In 1992, Antonella Dalle Zotte also began to approach NIR technology thanks to the collaboration with Giorgio Masoero, one of the Italian pioneers of NIR technology, focusing the first studies on the quality estimation of muscle foods with NIR instruments. Massimo Mirisola and Lorenzo Serva join the laboratory in subsequent years, and new instruments are purchased: a second NIRSystem 5000 (spinning cup module) and a CORONA 45 (CARL ZEISS AG, Jena, DE). In the early 2000s, the field of interest expands to human food quality and authenticity. Between 2004 and 2010, the research group turns its attention to portable instruments, and research is carried out for their application on agricultural machinery, such as combine harvesters, mixer wagons and grape harvesting machines, working in close collaboration with the industry. The new commitments require the hiring of two young graduates, Francesco Benozzo and Jacopo Ferlito. Subsequently, two startups are founded, Grainit Srl (Padova, IT) and ITPhotonics (Fara Vicentino, IT), and some patents are filed on the implementation of NIR instrument or its application on operating machines. In 2011, the research laboratory is included in the Department of Animal Medicine, Production and Health (MAPS) and provides wet chemistry, NIRS and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyses, also offering a commercial service to interested stakeholders (in particular to agriculture and livestock sectors). The laboratory purchases a Spectrastar 2500 (Unity Scientific, Milford, MA, USA) and a Nicolet Avatar 360 FT-IR (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Waltham, MA, USA), and as such equipped, it also responds to the growing demand for analytical service for products and byproducts destined for biogas production plants. In recent years, following the development of portable instruments, the laboratory provides a calibration rental service. In 2015 Antonella Dalle Zotte takes over the scientific direction of the laboratory.
