A closer look at of one of nature’s secret superfoods with FT-NIR analysis
19 Feb 2026Fourier transform near‑infrared spectroscopy (FT‑NIR) is a fast, reliable technique that delivers key nutritional insights from a single measurement in seconds, helping producers ensure both product quality and safety. Components such as protein, moisture, fat, and fiber play essential roles in determining the value, functionality, and stability of legume‑based foods and feeds, while crop‑level analysis can also support better decisions in agriculture.
Explore how ready‑to‑use calibrations enable efficient, accurate analysis of legume samples, with validation models for fat and protein that can be further refined for specific product types.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.
