FT-IR & FT-NIR analysis of milk and liquid dairy products

This whitepaper provides a comparative overview of FT-IR and FT-NIR spectroscopy for the analysis of milk and liquid dairy products. It explains the fundamental principles of infrared spectroscopy and demonstrates how both techniques are applied for accurate quality control in dairy production. The paper highlights the advantages of FT-NIR, including larger pathlength measurements, reduced need for homogenization, durable quartz flow cells, and the ability to analyze a wide range of dairy samples, from raw milk and cream to whey, yogurt, and infant formula.
