FTIR and moulds

Volha Shapaval has authored a paper on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for the prediction of fatty acid profiles in Mucor fungi together with Nils Kristian Afseth, Gjermund Vogt and Achim Kohler. Abstract Fungal production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is a highly potential approach in biotechnology. Currently the main focus is directed towards screening of hundreds strains…

NIR Imaging of Oats

The paper “Near-Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging of Fusarium-Damaged Oats (Avena sativa L.)” authored by Selamawit Tekle, Ingrid Måge, Vegard H. Segtnan, and Åsmund Bjørnstad, is published  in Cereal Chemistry. Fusarium infection of cereals leads to reduced grain yields, poor seed quality, and pathogen-produced toxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON). In this paper, we examine the use of hyperspectral…
