The role of vibrational spectroscopy as a tool to assess economically motivated fraud and counterfeit issues in agricultural products and foods

摘要: One of the main food risks gaining attention from industry, governments, and standards-setting organizations is fraud conducted for economic gain by producers, manufacturers, processors, distributors, or retailers. The infrared (IR) spectrum originates absorption different frequencies a sample positioned in path an IR beam (e.g. near mid beams) determining fingerprint given sample. This signal contains most relevant (chemical, physical, process) information related to allowing tracing its origin. aim this article highlight applications vibrational spectroscopy (near, Raman spectroscopy) techniques as tools assess counterfeit issues foods. Examples such include samples milk, fish, meat, olive oil well other agricultural products
