Transmittance near infra red (NIR) spectra (500-1500 nm) of individual peanuts was measured to detect the internally mouldy nuts. The mouldy nuts, which usually showed little difference from the sound nuts by visual observations, could be distinguished from each other by comparing the transmittance ratio of 700 nm to 1100 nm. The fungal hydrolysis of the triglycerides that were contained in the nut seemed to account for these differences on the NIR spectra.
