Abstract
Over the past years, infrared spectroscopy (IRS) has proved to be one of the most efficient and advanced tools for food analysis. IRS is a rapid, easy-to-operate, high-throughput, and nondestructive analytic technique, which can also be implemented on-line for the continuous monitoring and controlling of process and product quality in the food-processing industry. Applications of IRS in the food domain range from the qualitative and quantitative chemical characterization of food products to the identification of microorganism and quantification of food spoilage and from the assessment of sensorial and technological attributes to food authentication and detection of adulterations.
