Spectroscopic techniques that can be used in monitoring food quality and safety will be discussed within the scope of this course.

Spectroscopic techniques are beginning to be seen as promising analytical techniques for monitoring food processes, quality and safety. Instrumental developments and the development of appropriate chemometric procedures have found applications of spectroscopic techniques in the fields of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, agro-food industry, life sciences and environmental analysis. This course will cover the features, advantages, and potential of common spectroscopic techniques.
