Item Cuantificación y cualificación de café por espectroscopia infrarrojo cercano (NIRS)(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Reina Villegas, Danna Gabriela; Castro Narváez, Sandra Patricia (Directora)Coffee is a food product of high consumption, which leads to the assurance of its quality and authentication. This paper includes the literature review of studies between 2017-2024 of the applications, advantages and limitations of NIRS in the coffee industry. The results establish that NIRS can identify and quantify compounds such as caffeine, trigonelline, chlorogenic acids, potassium leaching, humidity, conductivity, among others, which establish sensory properties of coffee. In addition, its usefulness has been demonstrated in the detection of adulterants and defective beans, which contributes to assuring the quality of the final product. The results indicate that this technique not only improves operational efficiency, but also allows a more rigorous quality control, facilitating the differentiation between varieties of coffee, such as Arabica and Robusta, assuring the authenticity of the product.
