Introduction
Spectroscopic methods have gained significant attention in recent years for their ability to provide rapid, accurate, and non-destructive analysis of food products. These methods utilize the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter to provide valuable information about the chemical composition and structural properties of food samples. In the context of food authenticity, spectroscopic techniques offer a powerful tool for detecting adulteration, mislabeling, and other forms of food fraud.
This project aims to explore the application of spectroscopic methods for food authenticity assessment. By leveraging the unique capabilities of these techniques, we seek to address the growing concerns surrounding the integrity and quality of food products in the market. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, a detailed research methodology, and an in-depth analysis of findings, this project aims to contribute to the body of knowledge on spectroscopic methods for food authenticity.
