Development of near infrared spectroscopy models for the quantitative prediction of the lignocellulosic components of wet Miscanthus samples

▸ Models developed for lignocellulosic/elemental constituents based on NIR spectra. ▸ Different models covered wet and dry samples, different particle sizes. ▸ Models on dry, ground and sieved samples were the most accurate. ▸ Wet models suitable for quantification: total sugars, glucose, xylose, Klason lignin. ▸ Other wet models suitable for classification or sample screening.
