Pine wood emits terpenes, among other substances, which are responsible for its characteristic smell. Standardised methods are used to check compliance with guidelines, but these are very time-consuming (28 days). They are not suitable for quality checks in production. In the TerpNIR project, researchers from the Thünen Institute of Wood Research, together with partners from industry, investigated whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), which is already established for other applications, is suitable. How can this method be applied? For which materials does this technique work and where are its limitations? Answers to these and other questions can be found in Thünen-Report 122.
