The large amount of publications about quality measurements of horticultural products with near-infrared (NIR) re#ectance spectroscopy demonstrates its usefulness for measuring their internal composition in a nondestructive way. Up to now, dispersive instruments have been used exclusively to yield s

β¦ Synopsis
The staling of bread has previously been studied by differential scanning calorimetry and by simple rheological measurements. In this collaborative study, two spectroscopic techniques (Fourier transform mid infrared spectroscopy and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy) have been used in addition to differential scanning calorimetry to follow the progress of bread staling. Using each technique, changes in measured properties were apparent which, when fitted by first order exponential equations, gave calculated rate constants of similar magnitude. It is postulated that each technique gives independent information about the crystallisation process in the amylopectin fraction of the bread crumb.

An attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared method has been developed that allows collection of spectra from proteins in solution. This method eliminates any structural perturbations induced by the internal reflection element (IRE), and thus the spectra reflect the solution conformati
Attenuated total reflection-infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy and wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) were used to determine the macromolecular orientation of a series of six uniaxially oriented polypropylene sheets with elongations of 0% to 500%. The orientation functions were expressed as fractions o
