DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS OF NMR AND INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIES IN THE ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

Abstract

Currently, with the increase in the world's population, changes in climate and increasingly rapid dispersion of pests and diseases, agricultural research must not only increasingly increase productivity, even in the presence of extreme climatic events, but also generate technologies so that production systems are increasingly less polluting. To achieve these objectives, research in the agricultural area has become increasingly multidisciplinary and multi-institutional involving knowledge of chemistry, physics and engineering. It is within this multidisciplinary scope and with multiple interinstitutional partnerships, focusing on "green" technologies, that the objective of this research project is to: Continue to develop instrumentation and methods for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in low and high fields and of spectroscopy in the infrared, near and medium infrared region, for non-destructive or non-invasive analysis, analyzes without or with minimal generation of toxic waste. These instruments and methods will be used to analyze both products originating from agricultural production and inputs used in the field such as pesticides, fertilizers, etc. and in agro-industrial processes. Furthermore, this project also aims, when possible, to transform this knowledge into green technologies that can be used to benefit not only rural producers and agribusinesses, but also the final consumer.
