Quality control in the food industry is a key issue that requires rapid, efficient, and selective methods that could discriminate the products, detect fraudulent or accidental adulterations, and identify the content of some biomarkers within a particular process of storage conditions. Along these lines, Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with the optical properties of metallic nanostructures is a powerful technique that can be implemented in food analysis.

The Versatility of Portable Raman in Process DevelopmentAdvertisement
Related to this article
Atomic spectroscopy has quietly gone from counting elements in bulk to counting single nanoparticles, imaging tissue at the micrometer scale, and reading Martian rocks from several meters away. The instruments got smaller, the software got smarter, and the questions they can now answer got a lot more interesting.
The following articles are the most accessed digital object identifier (DOI) manuscripts for Spectroscopy and LCGC International during the month of September 2026. Nine articles are individually ranked here by DOI page views; the third-highest entry (186 views) was recorded against the bare journal-level DOI rather than an individual article and is therefore not attributable to a single manuscript.
Spectral Frontiers
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, built on the weak overtone and combination-band absorptions first exploited commercially in the 1970s, is now being reshaped by chip-scale MEMS sensors, rapid field calibration methods, and increasingly capable chemometric and machine-learning models.
