Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is used to evaluate quality traits of cereal grains. The efficacy of an adaptive handheld instrument (MicroNIR) for protein content evaluation of sorghum grains was tested against an established benchtop instrument (DA-7250). The performance of DA-7250 was better than MicroNIR, but MicroNIR showed acceptable performance for screening sorghum grain protein levels, making it a potential tool for field screening or as a less expensive option compared to benchtop instruments.
Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is widely used for evaluating quality traits of cereal grains. For evaluating protein content of intact sorghum grains, parallel NIR calibrations were developed using an established benchtop instrumentation (Perten DA-7250) as a baseline to test the efficacy of an adaptive handheld instrument (VIAVI MicroNIR OnSite-W). Spectra were collected from 59 grain samples using both instruments at the same time. Cross-validated calibration models were validated with 33 test samples. The selected calibration model for DA-7250 with a coefficient of determination (R-2) = 0.98 and a root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) = 0.41% predicted the protein content of a test set with R-2 = 0.94, root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) = 0.52% with a ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) of 4.13. The selected model for the MicroNIR with R-2 = 0.95 and RMSECV = 0.62% predicted the protein content of the test set with R-2 = 0.87, RMSEP = 0.76% with an RPD of 2.74. In comparison, the performance of the DA-7250 was better than the MicroNIR, however, the performance of the MicroNIR was also acceptable for screening intact sorghum grain protein levels. Therefore, the MicroNIR instrument may be used as a potential tool for screening sorghum samples where benchtop instruments are not appropriate such as for screening samples in the field or as a less expensive option compared with benchtop instruments.
