Raman Spectroscopic Detection of Olive Oil Adulteration
Olive oil is among the most commonly adulterated food products. Raman spectroscopy has the potential to be utilized in measurements of olive oil to establish purity from adulteration with other, less expensive, oils. This application note reviews some of the most compelling data present in recent scientific literature to support this claim.

Harvesting Better Reflectance Results: Dynamic Sampling for NIR Food Analysis
NIR reflectance spectroscopy provides a reliable method for measuring food quality. Monitoring parameters such as moisture, protein, and fat content is a critical part of managing quality throughout the supply chain. In this application note, we examine the impact of dynamic sampling on improving the repeatability of NIR reflectance measurements of corn kernels without increasing the total time or frequency of measurements.
