Abstract

The strong absorption of water in the mid-infrared (MIR) causes difficulties in performing combined near-infrared (NIR) and MIR spectroscopy on aqueous samples using a single instrument. Combining spectra from different instruments can result in unwanted spectral variations, which can influence the prediction models and mitigate the advantages of the combination approaches. In this work, absorption spectra were collected in the NIR (1300nm-2500nm) and MIR (2500nm-3800nm) region by combining a single high-brightness broadband supercontinuum (SC) laser spanning from ~1-4.0 μm with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) and a transmission cuvette in a single-path configuration to provide a uniform spectral response across the NIR and MIR regions. The measured NIR- and MIR- spectra were assessed based on their ability to predict varying concentrations of ethanol, sucrose, and L-proline in aqueous solutions. The NIR-based partial least square regression (PLSR) model gave higher prediction accuracy for sucrose (R² = 0.95) as compared to both ethanol and L-proline (R² = 0.75 and R² = 0.57 respectively). On the other hand, the MIR-based model enhances the prediction accuracy of ethanol (R² = 1.00) and L-proline (R² = 0.62) while demonstrating no significant change in prediction accuracy for sucrose (R² = 0.96). The prediction models based on the combined NIR-MIR spectra performed similar but slightly worse than the MIR-only models for ethanol and L-proline (R² = 0.97 and R² = 0.54 respectively), while for sucrose, it was slightly improved (R² = 0.99).
