31th May – Assoc. Professor Dr. Nazmi Mat Nawi, Head of Laboratory of Plantation System Technology and Mechanization was invited by CRAUN Research Sdn. Bhd. to deliver online short-course on how to apply spectroscopic measurement method for quality measurement of sago. The training was attended by nine researchers from the company. The training took four hours, covering four modules namely; 1. Introduction to spectroscopic technologies, 2. Measurement methods, 3. Spectral data analysis, and 4. Chemometrics Analysis.   

From the training, the potential use of the spectroscopic technology as a non-destructive measurement method for measuring quality level of sago was revealed. The training also created a new platform for a research collaboration between IKP and the company. A proper workshop on handling the technology will be organized at IKP once the Movement Control Order (MCO) is terminated.
