Spectroscopy September 2019 Applications of ICP & ICP-MS Techniques for Today's Spectroscopists

A recent study developed and tested a highly stable, nanozyme-based colorimetric sensor capable of rapidly and accurately detecting vitamin C in commercial beverages, offering a practical tool for real-time nutritional assessment.

In a 2025 study, Indian researchers demonstrated that combining near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with aquaphotomics enables rapid, non-destructive detection of adulterants in honey by analyzing changes in water’s spectral behavior. Using chemometric models, they accurately identified and quantified six common adulterants, offering a powerful tool for food authenticity and quality control.
