The invention provides a quick near-infrared measuring device and method for milk ingredients and relates to the technical field of near-infrared spectroscopic analysis. The device comprises a constant current driving unit, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) component unit, a sample pool unit, a photoelectric detection unit, a signal processing and control unit, a man-machine interface unit, and the like. A diffuse transmission measuring mode is adopted, sample absorbance values of sixteen short-wave near-infrared absorbing wavelengths are utilized and a prediction model in the device is used, thereby simultaneously measuring the indexes in the milk, such as fat, protein, milk sugar, non-fat milk solid, total milk solid, water, and the like. The quick near-infrared measuring device has the advantages that sixteen short-wave near-infrared absorbing wavelengths are used for quickly measuring the main ingredients of milk, thereby being small in data volume, high in measuring speed and suitable for on-site application. The device is small in volume, low in power consumption, light in weight and convenient in carrying, thereby being capable of meeting the requirement for quickly on-site analyzing the main ingredients of a milk sample.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for measuring the haze value of transmissive samples. The apparatus comprises a first light source selectively configurable to emit a first light beam, a second light source selectively configurable to emit a second light beam, an integrating sphere having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface configured to reflect light incident upon the inner surface, the inner surface further enclosing an interior volume. The integrating sphere is further equipped with an exit port configured to emit light from the interior volume of the integrating sphere. The exit port is positioned such that light from the first light source exits the integrating sphere without obstruction, and light from the second light source is diffused on the interior surface of the integrating sphere prior to exiting the exit port. A light detector is also included and is configured to generate a light-intensity signal when light exiting the integrating sphere has passed through a sample and is incident on the light detector. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to receive the light-intensity signal and generate an output signal to a user indicating the haze value. The present invention is also directed to a method of calculating the haze value of a sample using a stored calibration value, a diffuse transmission value (sample-absent diffuse light-intensity value), a direct transmission value (sample-absent direct light-intensity value), a measured diffuse transmission value (sample-present diffuse light-intensity value) and a measured direct transmission value (sample-present direct light-intensity value).
