“…For sake of completeness, a brief note about certain other fields of application of NIR spectroscopy in which samples of biological origin are typically examined. This technique has become well recognized in ecology and environmental studies [127]. NIR spectroscopy is easily applicable and delivers highly useful information on a remarkably wide variety of sample types in the scope of ecology.…”

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Bio-Applications

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy occupies a specific spot across the field of bioscience and related disciplines. Its characteristics and application potential differs from infrared (IR) or Raman spectroscopy. This vibrational spectroscopy technique elucidates molecular information from the examined sample by measuring absorption bands resulting from overtones and combination excitations. Recent decades brought significant progress in the instrumentation (e.g., miniaturized spectrometers) and spectral analysis methods (e.g., spectral image processing and analysis, quantum chemical calculation of NIR spectra), which made notable impact on its applicability. This review aims to present NIR spectroscopy as a matured technique, yet with great potential for further advances in several directions throughout broadly understood bio-applications. Its practical value is critically assessed and compared with competing techniques. Attention is given to link the bio-application potential of NIR spectroscopy with its fundamental characteristics and principal features of NIR spectra.

“…All the aforesaid advantages of IR (especially NIR) spectroscopy, as well as the availability of relatively inexpensive and cheap equipment, make it possible to perform environmental studies using IR spectroscopy (reviewed in [ 6 ]). Since IR and especially NIR spectroscopy provide the possibility of working with aqueous solutions, this method allows for the in vivo qualitative and quantitative assessment of the composition of animals and plants and the evaluation of changes occurring in them.…”

“…Various types of vibrational spectroscopy (generally, it includes various variants of Raman and infrared spectroscopy) have been used for a long time to evaluate a variety of biological objects (see, for example, reviews [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]). Moreover, using vibrational spectroscopy, it is possible to evaluate individual compounds, cells, tissues, multicellular organisms (both living and fixed), and the products of their vital activity.…”

The review briefly describes various types of infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy methods. At the beginning of the review, the basic concepts of biological methods of environmental monitoring, namely bioanalytical and biomonitoring methods, are briefly considered. The main part of the review describes the basic principles and concepts of vibration spectroscopy and microspectrophotometry, in particular IR spectroscopy, mid- and near-IR spectroscopy, IR microspectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, resonance Raman spectroscopy, Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and Raman microscopy. Examples of the use of various methods of vibration spectroscopy for the study of biological samples, especially in the context of environmental monitoring, are given. Based on the described results, the authors conclude that the near-IR spectroscopy-based methods are the most convenient for environmental studies, and the relevance of the use of IR and Raman spectroscopy in environmental monitoring will increase with time.

“…The method has been successfully used for chemical evaluation in nutritional studies of many animal species (ruminants [4], marine mammals [5], koalas [6], giant pandas [7] etc.). The NIRS method can be used to determine the content of basic nutrients (nitrogenous substances, fiber, and water content) [2], to determine the presence or proportion of a particular food [8], as well as to detect changes in the content of substances represented in minimal concentrations (e.g., the level of hormones [9,10] or fatty acids in milk [11]). For almost half a century, the method has been increasingly used, especially in agriculture and pharmacy (typically, where large quantities of very similar samples are routinely processed) [12].…”

Use of NIRS in Wild Rodents’ Research: A Review of Timid Beginnings

The article summarizes the previous experience and results from the study of wild rodents using the NIRS method. The importance and role of rodents in ecosystems and the specifics associated with their research using the NIRS method are briefly mentioned. The results of previous partial studies are mentioned and discussed. The NIRS method proved to be a useful tool to determine the amount of a particular food ingredient in the diet from faeces or chyme and to estimate the food quality (i.e., diversity of nitrogenous substances in chyme). On this basis, other possible directions of research using the NIRS method in wild rodents are proposed. These could help to better understand both the relationship between rodents and their environment and practical management in sectors where rodents interfere with human interests, especially in agriculture and forestry.
