In recent 30 years,near-infrared spectroscopy analysis,which is a kind of high-efficient and low-cost technology widely used for control of food quality,has been improved rapidly.Combining with novel chemometrics methods,it could be used for the analysis of food component,food classification and adulteration detection and so on. In this paper,the application of near infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics methods in food analysis in recent years are reviewed.
