NEAR INFRARED AND UV-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY COUPLED WITH CHEMOMETRICS FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF FLOURS FROM DIFFERENT STARCH ORIGINS

Near Infrared and UV-Visible Spectroscopy Coupled with Chemometrics for the Characterization of Flours from Different Starch Origins

This work tested near-infrared (NIR) and UV-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics to characterize flours from different starch origins.In particular, eighteen starch-containing pure 27 flours (e.g., type 00 flour, rye, barley, soybean, chestnut, potato, spelt, buckwheat, oat, millet, rice, durum wheat, amaranth, chickpea, sesame,
