Determination of the Mineral Composition and Toxic Element Contents of Propolis by Near Infrared Spectroscopy

The potential of near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) with remote reflectance fiber-optic probes for determining the mineral composition of propolis was evaluated. This technology allows direct measurements without prior sample treatment. Ninety one samples of propolis were collected in Chile (Bio-Bio...
