Vibrational Spectroscopic Analysis and Chemometrics

Catalog description

Infrared and particularly modern near-infrared spectroscopic analysis of foods, natural products, and synthetic substances is accomplished with direct sampling and the use of multivariate statistics. This course is intended to enable the student to understand the principles and successfully apply this technology to practical analytical problems with emphasis upon food. Method development will be taught using specific analytes in selected products. Theoretical background, working of modern instrumentation and associated software is presented in support of achieving practical competence.
