Extract

The size of biological samples is often, by necessity, small and precludes a full and detailed chemical analysis of the material. Near infrared spectra are comprehensive records of the chemical structure and content of a substrate and are thus a rich source of information. To investigate diurnal changes in the chemical composition of duodenal digesta, NIR spectra and difference spectra were used to examine samples collected over a 24h period.
