Edible Oils Analysis: Trends In Infrared Spectroscopy and Other Analytical Methods provides the fundamentals of infrared spectroscopy and the latest research on its applications in edible oils and honey analysis.
The book is organized into two distinct sections, Infrared Spectroscopy in Edible Oils and Honey Analysis. The introductory part encourages readers with basic knowledge by bringing a theoretical background. Then the book introduces the most important sampling methodology used for infrared spectroscopy, such as chemometrics methods, and machine learning in infrared spectroscopy analysis. And finally, this title provides descriptions of analytical studies of the presented applications.
Food adulteration and consequently the determination of authenticity represent subjects of high importance in food industry, generating major concerns among food manufacturers. Thus, this is an excellent resource for food scientists, analytical chemists, quality control laboratories dealing with food and drug administration, besides governmental agencies responsible for food quality and safety.
