This presentation describes the use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) at American Crystal Sugar Company. It describes the use of on-line NIR in our Molasses Desugarization facility to determine sucrose, RDS, betaine, and solution absorbance. Our experience with implementation of AOTF technology is described. The development of calibrations for factory juices with both scanning and AOTF benchtop instruments is discussed. Experiences with transfer of the NIR technology to the factory laboratories are discussed.
