Recent papers
Richard A. Crocombe and Ellen V. Miseo, “Portable Spectroscopy and the Fight Against Food Fraud”, Photonics Spectra, August 2017, pp. 30-37.
Food Fraud has been proven to be a danger to human health, and each year, lost sales, product recalls and loss of consumer confidence are estimated to cost legitimate retailers around $15 billion. Deaths have occurred in the Czech Republic and Italy due to contaminated wine, and in China due to contaminated milk products.
