Abstract
This paper reports an application of qualitative analysis in the flour milling industry based on near infrared spectroscopy and a factorial discriminant procedure. Samples of different commercial flour types were collected from a number of mills and a discriminant model developed; evaluation of this model on a different set of 99 samples produced a correct classification rate of 97%.
