1. A method for quantifying one or more physical properties of fluff pulp or paper treated with paper chemicals, which method comprises(I) developing a calibration model by(I.a) registering absorption, reflectance or emission spectral raw data of reference samples of paper of known properties to develop a learning set;

  • (I.b) processing the spectral raw data to reduce noise and adjust for drift and diffuse light scatter;

    (I.c) performing a data analysis by applying chemometric techniques to the processed learning sets; and

    (II) registering absorption, reflectance or emission spectral raw data of a sample of paper or fluff pulp having unknown properties;

    processing the spectral raw data as according to (I.b); and

    applying the developed calibration model on the processed spectral data in order to determine the unknown properties.
