NIR spectroscopy for rapid analysis of food (example on wine)

Non-destructive analysis in less than a minute

NIR spectroscopy is a rapid and cheap technique for the analysis of food samples, which do not have to be "prepared", but can be analyzed as they are. In this context, the CHIMSLAB research group of BIOGEST-SITEIA has already successfully implemented...

Analysis of hyperspectral images

Hyperspectral imaging: what? how much? where?

The hyperspectral images acquired in the near infrared (NIR) range combine the advantages of spectroscopy and imaging, enabling to obtain a sort of "chemical photography" of the sample in which the sample aspects hardly visible or not visible to the...

Analysis of color images for the characterization of food products

A photo to analyze the sample

The common digital color photographs or the RGB images acquired by a desktop scanner can be processed in order to extract "information" on the characteristics of the sample. Such characteristics may concern the chemical composition of the sample, if...

Methods for allergenic species detection

Platform for detection of allergens in complex food matrices

The method developed allows for the detection of allergenic ingredients in food, through an indirect DNA-based analysis. In particular, we refer to the ingredients listed in Annex III of the EU Directive 1169/2011. The method is based on the...
