Rapid and non-destructive determination of protein and starch content in agricultural powders using near-infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy, and data fusion

Triboelectrostatic separation is a promising technology for the fractionation of agricultural flours to produce protein- and starch-enriched fractions. Rapid determination of the protein and starch content of these powder fractions is required for process development, optimization and ultimately control. The suitability of near-infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy along with data fusion for the rapid determination of protein and starch …
