The aim of this study was to investigate convenient spectroscopic evaluation method of Para rubber quality. Ultra violet–near infrared (UV–NIR 370–1085 nm) spectra of latex were measured in transmittance mode. Calibrations for total solid content (TSC) and dry rubber content (DRC) were developed using spectral data set with aid of partial least square regression analysis using 57 samples. UV–NIR spectra of latex provided good regression models between measured and predicted values of TSC and DRC with determination coefficient for cross-validation of 0.96 and 0.97, respectively. The ranks were 2 and 1, respectively. This study suggests high accuracy in-line quality control of latex using UV–NIR spectroscopy. The long wavelength NIR spectra of bark were scanned to check the feasibility of on-site evaluation of latex quality by measuring the NIR spectra of standing tree. From the observation of near infrared spectra, it was shown that there was more latex signal in outer part of wood bark than in inner part of wood bark. This result suggests that the focal point should be on the outer part of bark to get the signal of latex when we measure the spectra of standing tree.
