“…Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a potent and valued physicochemical technique of analysis [1][2][3]. This technique is primarily recognized in the applications to analytical chemistry [4] as a rapid, cost-efficient, simple, and non-destructive technique with nearly no sample preparation required, which appears to be a very attractive and useful alternative tool for qualitative and quantitative analyses in the agriculture [5,6], food [7,8], chemical [9,10], and pharmaceutical industries [11]. However, it is also met with an increasing importance in bioscience [12,13], medicine [14,15], and various applications related to hyperspectral imaging as well [16].…”
