Determining sucrose and glucose levels in dual‐purpose sorghum stalks by Fourier transform near infrared (<scp>FT‐NIR</scp>) spectroscopy

Abstract

PLSR models were developed based on FT-NIR spectra coupled with multivariate data analysis to provide a quick and low-cost estimate of specific sugar contents in grain sorghum stalks. This sugar information helps decision making for sorghum-based biomass processing and storage strategies.
