Abstract
This work was conducted to assess the use of Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) as a technique to analyze nutritional constituents of Distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) and corn quickly and accurately, and to apply an NIRS-based indium gallium arsenide array detector, rather than a NIRS-based scanning system, to collect spectra and induce and analyze calibration equations using equipment which is better suited to field application. As a technique to induce calibration equations, Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used, and for better accuracy, various mathematical transformations were applied. A multivariate outlier detection method was applied to induce calibration equations, and, as a result, the way of structuring a calibration set significantly affected prediction accuracy. The prediction of nutritional constituents of distillers dried grains with solubles resulted in the following: moisture (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.80), crude protein (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.71), crude fat (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.80), crude fiber (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.32), and crude ash (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.72). All constituents except crude fiber showed good results. The prediction of nutritional constituents of corn resulted in the following: moisture (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.79), crude protein (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.61), crude fat (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.79), crude fiber (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.63), and crude ash (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>=0.75). Therefore, all constituents except for crude fat and crude fiber were predicted for their chemical composition of DDGS and corn through Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy.
