Abstract

The growing problem of food products adulteration requires a rapid and simple method for adulteration detection. Adulterants, which can range from plant material to natural and synthetic colours and compounds have a severe influence on customer trust as well as public health risks. Food safety regulations are being tightened and expanded, requiring a more thorough examination of hazards and risk management solutions. Due to its advantages, near infrared spectroscopy has been recognised as an effective method for food adulteration detection. In this work, an overview of the basics of NIR spectroscopy, NIR data analysis and the use of NIR for food adulteration detection are discussed.

Keywords
