“…NIRS was mainly controlled by some typical bands of water (5,100 and 7,000 cm −1 as first vibrations of OH; 8,100 and 10,000 cm −1 as second vibrations of OH) and hydrogen bonds, as they could give a strong overtone and combination (Davies, 2002; Ghosh & Jayas, 2009). The absorption bands from 5,000 to 4,000 cm −1 were attributed to amide (Bruun, Holm, Hansen, & Jacobsen, 2006) and NH combination bands, which was characteristic of proteins (Badaró, Morimitsu, Ferreira, Clerici, & Barbin, 2019). The aliphatic series of CH (5,560 and 8,300 cm −1 , respectively, as first and second vibration of bending) and amines (1,550 and 1,640 cm −1 as the bands of amine I; 3,300 cm −1 as the band of amine II) also played an important role (Workman & Workman, 2007).…”
