Vol 12 No 4 Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry October 2014 Issue PDF

Top articles published this week include our ”Top 10” accessed technical articles for the month, a Q&A interview that discussed applying near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to monitor fatty acid profiles in black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), and an article about analyzing microplastics in U.S. seafood.

This excerpt from The Concise Handbook of Analytical Spectroscopy, which spans five volumes, serves as a comprehensive reference, detailing the theory, instrumentation, sampling methods, experimental design, and data analysis techniques for each spectroscopic region.

A recent study from researchers in Brazil examined a-pinene’s chemical composition using mid-infrared (MIR) Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.

A recent study published in Meat Science highlighted how visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR) spectroscopy, when combined with chemometrics, can differentiate lamb meat based on pasture-finishing durations.
