Ref: Chem. Soc. Rev., 2012, 41, 5706–5727

Sowoidnich New Food. 2013. p. 14.

• Raman is an optical technique to probe molecular

vibration states thus it can show the chemical

fingerprints of the foodstuffs, non-invasively

• Raman can be used for many food safety and quality

(FSQ) applications in food industry such as:

– pesticides residue on vegetables & fruits

– meat spoilage / freshness detection

– authentication for oil and may others

– Cheese protein quality

– Wine / beer fermentation

– adulterant in milk (Melamine)

– ... etc
