Near infrared reflectance (NIR), introduced in 1964, is based on the absorbance of light energy at a given frequency by molecules (or radicals) having a permanent dipole vibrating at the same frequency. Since its first application for determination of moisture in grains and seed, this technique has developed as an analytical method finding application in feed, food, petrochemical, pharmaceutical industries as well as in many other fields also (Panford and de Man, 1990). In oilseeds research laboratories, this technique has been extensively used as a nondestructive technique for rapid estimation of moisture, oil, protein, and fatty acid and anti-nutritional compounds (Kumar et al., 2010).
