QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF MILK COMPONENTS

Abstract

A milk analyzer for conducting quantitative analysis of milk components of test milk sample, for which the quantities of component parts of the test milk sample are unknown. The milk analyzer (100) includes a fiber-optic probe (102) implemented in a diffuse reflectance mode and a near-infrared spectrometer (108). The fiber-optic probe (102) transmits a light in a preselected wavelength range between 600 nanometers (nm) and 1100 into the test milk sample and receives a reflected light from the test milk sample. The received reflected light is provided to the NIR spectrometer (108) to perform spectral analysis of the reflected light for determining reflectance spectra of the test milk sample. The milk analyzer (100) further includes a controller (110) for conducting quantitative analysis of the test milk samples based on the determined reflectance spectra and a predetermined single reference model to determine quantities of milk components of the test milk sample.
