“…Rubber, resin content in the fresh and remaining bagasse (fibrous matter left after the branches were crushed) were measured by Automatic Solvent Extraction (ASE/Dionex) analysis at laboratory level (Suchat et al, 2013). Latex content was controlled using an aqueous process on fresh harvested biomass stored less than a week, and at pilot scale (100 kg day −1 dry biomass) to set a pilot extraction processes model by Cirad laboratory in Montpellier (France).…”

a b s t r a c t Natural rubber demand was 11 million tons in 2014 and is expected to reach 16 million tons by 2025 according to the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG). The expected limitation of natural rubber from Hevea induced an interest for the development of alternative sources of natural rubber. Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray L.), being native to the Mexican Chihuahua desert, is a perennial crop of semi-arid area, with the potential of growing in the Mediterranean area. To assess the potential of guayule cultivation, CIRAD (France) and Wageningen University (The Netherlands) have conducted some on-farm guayule trials in southern Europe in partnership within the European based production and exploitation of alternative rubber and latex sources project (EU-PEARLS). Promising agronomic results have led to assess the profitability of a guayule commodity chain in the Mediterranean Europe area. Data on farming practices, biorefinery, costs of inputs were collected from the trials conducted in Spain and France, and from farmers and farmers' organizations in both countries. At farm level, different cost scenarios were tested, with guayule biomass being the sole output, with annual or biennial harvests. Our results showed that, based on a nine-year field cultivation, the farmer's breakeven point can be reached at a sale price of D 147 ton −1 of dry biomass (at 12 ton ha −1 ). At factory level, the biorefiner needs to sell water-extracted rubber as latex. By adding solvent extraction, it is possible to extract the remaining percentage of total rubber and the resin. In such case, the biorefiner's profits rises to D 691 ton −1 of extracted rubber, making guayule cultivation profitable. Bagasse sale for electricity production or wood pellets is a bonus to be considered too. Our results showed that, in these conditions, a guayule value chain in Europe could be profitable.We extrapolated the results from our experiments to other Mediterranean countrie's culture conditions. Our results showed that guayule cultivation would probably be more beneficial in the Southern Mediterranean countries, including Spain, than in the Northern countries (South of France). Introduction of guayule production in the Mediterranean region could contribute to improved sustainability in rural development projects, allow a new economic development of the regions, and contribute to provide a new sustainable crop alternative against the impacts of climate change such as longer and more severe drought stress.

“…Near infrared spectrometry is based on the vibrations of molecular chemical bonds, and their interactions with infrared radiation (Suehara et al, 1999;Zhou et al, 2004;Zheng et al, 2008;Suchat et al, 2013). The NIR absorption spectrum therefore reflects the chemical structure and composition of a sample (Pasquini, 2003).…”

“…Subsequently, these factors are correlated to the independent target values for calibration samples, i.e., the moisture content to be predicted from the spectra. These two steps are repeated several times in an iterative process, so that the factors are slowly modified and there by optimized for the strongest correlation to the reference values from chemical laboratory data (Black et al, 1985;Suchat et al, 2013).…”

“…Black et al (1985) showed the potential of NIRS to quantify rubber/water blends. Kleine and Foster (1992) and Suchat et al (2013) performed efficient calibration for rubber and moisture contents in guayule using NIRS. Cornish et al (2004) compared dry and wet guayule homogenates, and demonstrated successful NIRS based quantification of rubber not only in guayule.…”

“…For rubber, also called polyisoprene, NIR spectroscopy was used as tool to detect many parameters in rubber-producing plants such as moisture in raw rubber sheet, 3 natural polyisoprene in Eucommia ulmoides leaves, 4 resin content and rubber content in Parthenium Argentatum biomass. 5 In Para rubber latex, Sirisomboon et al 6 studied NIR spectroscopy on evaluation of apparent viscosity and dry rubber content (DRC). 7 The results show that this technique is an accurate and rapid method that can be used to predict apparent viscosity and DRC with correlation coe±-cient of 0.974 and 0.9995, respectively.…”

Volatile Fatty Acid number (VFA no.) is one of the parameters indicating the state of quality of Para rubber latex at that particular time. Most factories analyze this parameter using standard analytical method as in ISO 506:1992(E). Nevertheless, this procedure is complicated, chemical and time consuming, as well as skilled analyst required. Therefore, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy which is rapid, accurate and nonchemicals method was applied to determine the VFA no. in¯eld latex and concentrated latex based on quanti¯cation and discriminant model. The best calibration equation was obtained from standard normal variate (SNV) spectra in the region of 6109.7-5770.3, 4613.1-4242.9 cm À1 with R ¼ 0:832, SECV ¼ 0:036 and no bias. From the performance check, statistically it was found that SECV and bias were low enough for practical acceptance and the predicted VFA no. was not di®erent signi¯cantly from actual VFA no. at 95% con¯dence intervals. In addition, discriminant model was developed to separate good quality latex from the deteriorated latex using VFA no. at 0.06 as standard as in ISO 2004ISO :2010. The discriminant model can be used to screen the latex with overall accuracy of 91.86% in validation set.
