Data of: Analysis of flour-insect powder mixtures based on their near infrared spectra
Description
Near Infrared spectroscopy data of insect powders obtained from seven species, wheat flour, and the mixtures of wheat flour and the different insect powders (5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25 %, 30 %, 35 %, 40 %, 45 % and 50 % of insect powder content.

The spectra were obtained using a Bruker MPATM Multipurpose FT-NIR analyser (Bruker, Ettlingen, Germany) in five replicates, over the spectral range of 12500-3800 cm-1. The spectrometer was equipped with an interferometer and a gold-coated integrating sphere. The samples were presented in a rotating cuvette (Ø 85 mm) and were measured in diffuse reflectance mode with OPUS 7.2 (Bruker, Ettlingen, Germany) software using a lead sulphide (PbS) detector. Each spectrum was recorded as the average of 32 scans with a spectral resolution of 16 cm-1 (scanning speed 10 kHz). Sample Names: AD – Acheta domestica, BM – Bombyx mori, BP – Brachytrupes portentosus, GA – Gryllus assimilis, GB – Gryllus bimaculatus, LM – Locusta migratoria, TM – Tenebrio molitor, FLOUR: wheat flour
