In this perspective paper we argue for the fact that near infrared (NIR) technology, due to its unique properties, will become an indispensable green sensor technology in the future digitalized and sustainable food production. The future of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in green analytics is bright. Ongoing advancements in NIR technology, coupled with increased accessibility and integration with advanced multivariate data analysis such as machine learning and artificial intelligence will further amplify the impact of NIRS across food, agricultural, environmental, and renewable energy domains. The miniaturization, increased portability, and enhanced affordability of NIR instruments, coupled with its integration into emerging technologies, will empower a diverse range of industries and researchers to address pressing global challenges with unprecedented precision and efficiency. The implementation of NIR technology in process analytical technology will enable the transition to future digitalized and sustainable food production. In a future circular economy, where waste streams, co-products and water are reclaimed and valorized, continuous measurements are necessary and in many cases, there are no sensor alternatives to NIR technology.
在本文中，我们认为近红外（NIR）技术由于其独特的特性，将成为未来数字化和可持续食品生产中不可或缺的绿色传感器技术。近红外光谱（NIRS）在绿色分析中的未来是光明的。NIR 技术的不断进步，加上与机器学习和人工智能等先进多元数据分析的可及性和集成度的提高，将进一步放大 NIRS 在食品、农业、环境和可再生能源领域的影响。NIR 仪器的小型化、便携性提高和成本降低，加上其与新兴技术的集成，将使各种行业和研究人员能够以前所未有的精度和效率应对紧迫的全球挑战。NIR 技术在过程分析技术中的实施将实现未来数字化和可持续食品生产的转型。在未来的循环经济中，废物流、副产物和水被回收和增值，连续测量是必要的，在许多情况下，没有传感器可以替代 NIR 技术。
