Determination of the Mineral Composition (Ca, P, Mg, K, Na) in Cheeses (Cow's, Ewe's and Goat's) with Different Ripening Times using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRs) with a Fibre-Optic Probe

In the present work we study the use of NIRS technology together with the use of a remote reflectance fibre-optic probe (with a 5 cm × 5 cm quartz window) for the determination of mineral composition (Ca, P, Mg, K, Na) in 227 samples of cheeses elaborated with 16 varying mixtures of milk from cows, ewes and goats with different ripening times over 6 months. The NIR spectra were recorded in reflectance mode, applying the fibre-optic probe directly onto the cheese simple, with no simple preparation or manipulation.
