Comparison of milk analysis performance between NIR laboratory analyser and miniaturised NIR MEMS sensors

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

The dairy farms have a need for on-site milk analysis to determine the fat and protein content of the milk in real-time manner during milking. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has shown promise as an on-farm tool for fat and protein content determination of raw milk. However, for a successful implementation, on-site analysis requires affordable and small NIR sensors for the milk analysis. This study demonstrates the potential of using Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) based NIR sensors for on-farm and at-line measuring the milk fat and protein content and compares the results to golden standard analysis and commercial cooled Photo Diode Array (PDA) NIR sensor
