Variety identification by electrophoresis is not applicable to routine control in industry. In the present work, the feasibility of near infrared reflectance (n.i.r.) analysis was investigated. Two hundred and two wheat samples including 66 samples of six known varieties were collected and their n.i

✦ Synopsis
The potential of near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy for discriminating between coffee beverage prepared from pure Arabica, pure Robusta and blends of these two varieties was investigated. Dried beverages were produced by both lyophilisation and air-drying under vacuum on glass-fibre filter paper. Spectral collections were treated by principal component and factorial discriminant analyses. Using the wavelength range 1100-2498 nm, only three of 65 test samples were misclassified when the filter paper approach was used. When freeze-dried coffee beverages were analysed, nine of the 65 test samples were misclassified. The basis for this discrimination appears to involve caffeine and/or other alkaloids.
