Therefore, there has been an increasing interest in simpler, faster, and reliable analytical methods for assessing food quality attributes. \u003cb\u003eSpectroscopic Methods in Food Analysis\u003c\/b\u003e presents the basic concepts of spectroscopic methods, together with a discussion on the most important applications in food analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe determination of product quality and authenticity and the detection of adulteration are major issues in the food industry, causing concern among consumers and special attention among food manufacturers. As such, this book explains why spectroscopic methods have been extensively employed to the analysis of food products as they often require minimal or no sample preparation, provide rapid and on-line analysis, and have the potential to run multiple tests on a single sample (i.e., non-destructive). This book consists of concepts related to food quality and authenticity, that are quite broad, given the different demands of the manufacturer, the consumer, the surveillance and the legislative bodies that ultimately provide healthy and safe products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adriana S.
