Abstract
This paper reports the utilization of short-wave near-infrared (SW-NIR) transmission spectroscopy for rapid and conclusive analysis of alcoholic content (% v/v) in beverages. This spectral region is interesting because common visible diode array spectrometers can be utilized, reducing time and costs in comparison with traditional near-infrared or mid-infrared instruments. A correction of external temperature influence is necessary, and for this purposes two calibration transfer procedures were compared: piecewise direct standardization (PDS) and orthogonal signal correction (OSC). The RMSEP found for the alcoholic content model at 20 degrees C was 0.13% v/v and, after application of transfer calibration procedures at other temperatures (15, 25, 30 and 35 degrees C) using the model built at 20 degrees C, errors of the same order of magnitude were obtained.
