Agro-forestry products

In this system, trees and grasses are planted in areas along streams or rivers. These are designed in such a way that they can bind the excess nutrients and chemical pesticides that are lying on the land surface to the soil before their entry into the waterways [79]. 

In this system, natural forest area fulfills the requirements of wood products and other additional enterprises. Proper knowledge of thinning, praning, harvesting practices and market options for the products are given by qualified specialists to enhance the productivity [80].

The Role of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Verifying Label Information in Agro-Forestry Products... 

Presenting nearly 50% new and revised material, this thoroughly updated edition incorporates the latest advances in instrumentation, computerization, calibration, and method development in NIR spectroscopy. The book underscores current trends in sample preparation, calibration transfer, process control, data analysis, and commercial NIR instrumentation. New chapters highlight novel applications including the analysis of agro-forestry products, polymers, blood, and control serum. They also cover NIR spectra, process analytical technologies (PAT), quantitative and qualitative analyses for nutraceuticals, NIR photography uses in medicine, and counterfeit detection methods for various applications.

TRACEABILITY, LABELING, AND CERTIFICATION OF AGRO-FORESTRY SYSTEMS PRODUCTS WITH NIRS AND OTHER SENSORS THE DEHESA AGRO-FORESTRY SYSTEM AND THE TRACEABILITY OF THE IP PRODUCTS... 

The implementation of traceability, labeling, and certification systems is rather more complicated in agro-forestry systems than in industrial production processes. In fact, the understanding and definition of the scientific and technological basis for such control systems override individual capabilities of companies and suppliers that offer traceability systems. However, for theDehesa, and in particular for the IP production system, it is crucial to develop such systems to avoid frauds and to ensure consumer expectations after paying for such a luxurious and expensive product because not only does it taste delicious but also because of its contribution to the consumer s health and to the environment. 

Chapters 2 and 3 have been replaced (Basic Principles and Theories of Diffuse Reflection), several chapters (4,19,25,26,29, and 37) have been updated (Commercial Instrumentation, Analyses of Textiles and of Baked Products, Advances in the Petrochemical Industry, Polymers, Pharmaceutical Applications, and Process Analysis), and some new chapters (12,18,21,28,29,31,32,33,35, and 38) have been added (Process Sensors, Agro-Forestry Systems, Gas Analysis, Use of NIR at the Bowling Alley, PAT in the Pharmaceutical Industry, Nutraceuticals, Detection of Counterfeit Drugs (e.g., Viagra), NIR Photography in Medicine, Biomedical Components in Blood and Semm, and The Detection of Counterfeit Currency and Turquoise).
