Abstract

Sample's moisture content and granularity would have an important influence on NIR veracity. Preprocesssing methods have been used for NIR analysis to achieve better NIR veracity. With Yunnan flue-cured tobacco as study materials, the authors innovatively applied microwave fast drying technology and home pulverizer to tobacco preprocessing, which could finish the preprocessing in 5 min, faster than the traditional methods such as oven drying and sifting. Results showed that: microwave fast drying technology could improve NIR analysis veracity when samples' moisture content had a wide range; influence of samples' granularity on NIR veracity could be eliminated after 25 s home pulverizer shatter. This study can offer a new method for NIR analysis workers to simplify NIR preprocessing.
