Abstract

Recently, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy have received keen interest as powerful techniques for nondestructive analysis of biological materials. The purpose of this review paper is to compare the advantages of NIR and Raman spectroscopy in the nondestructive analysis. Both methods are quite unique and often complementary. For example. NIR spectroscopy is very useful in monitoring in situ the content of components inside biological materials while Raman spectroscopy is very suitable for identifying micro-components on the surface of biological materials. In this article specific characters of the two spectroscopic methods are discussed first and then several examples of applications of NIR and Raman spectroscopy to the biological nondestructive analysis are introduced.
