Detecting Adulterated Meat with LIBS
Economically motivated food adulteration is a problem around the world. The 2013 horsemeat scandal in Europe, in which horsemeat was substituted for beef and pork, did not cause serious health problems, but certainly upset many consumers and led to a desire for increased quality control over meat products. İsmail Hakkı Boyaci of the Food Research Center at Hacettepe University, in Ankara, Turkey, has developed a method using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to detect meat adulteration. He recently spoke to us about this work. |

VT-DRIFTS Investigations of Interactions Between Benzoic Acid and Montmorillonite Clay
This variable-temperature diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (VTDRIFTS) sample perturbation method is capable of providing detailed functional group–specific information regarding temperature-dependent sample composition changes. The technique is generally applicable for soil adsorbate characterization studies and, therefore, should be useful for elucidating soil transport mechanisms for selected contaminants. |

Applying LIBS to Metals Processing
The application of LIBS to two industrial projects illustrates how the composition of metallic alloys can be measured at a distance and on moving conveyor belts—even when the geometry of the objects is varied and surface coatings are present. |
