Data analysis on near infrared spectroscopy as a part of technology adoption for cocoa farmer in Aceh Province, Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: Presented manuscript described data analysis on near infrared spectroscopy used as adopted and portable technology for cocoa farmers in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) assisted farmers in post-harvest handling especially for cocoa quality evaluation. This technology was used to determine moisture content (MC) and fat content (FC) of intact cocoa bean samples rapidly and simultaneously. Near infrared spectra data were acquired as absorbance spectrum in wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm with co-added of 32 scans for a total of 72 intact bulk cocoa bean samples. Spectra data can be used to predict MC and FC of intact cocoa beans by establishing prediction models and validate with actual MC and FC measured by means of standard laboratory procedures. Predicti
