Book excerpt: Food-scanners are novel, portable and miniaturized devices, which operate on the principle of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). According to the manufacturers, these devices are suitable for measuring a wide range of important quality parameters on fresh produce. This research evaluated the suitability of food-scanners for determining fruit quality along the supply chain of fruit and vegetables. Using the qualitative research approach, the first step of this research comprised interviews of experts at different positions along the fresh produce value chain in Germany. Thereby, preferences and concerns regarding the utilization and implementation of this technology for fresh produce were investigated. Based on these findings, non-destructive prediction models for various important quality characteristics and secondary plant constituents were developed using the model fruit tomato. In addition, food-scanner predictions of relevant quality traits on a wide range of produce from the fruit and vegetable assortment were examined. The evaluations showed a high degree of conformity between the results of non-destructive food-scanner predictions and conventional destructive measurement methods. The results illustrate the great potential of these novel devices for the application in everyday practice of fruit quality control along the fresh produce supply chain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the major viruses affecting three cultivars in Colombia and how experimental approaches in serology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics can be adapted to create a protocol that could be applied for physalis, passionfruit, ornamental rose, and eventually other crops. Selection of farms was carried out based on size and economic importance. Initial visual plant symptom appraisal led collection of 370 samples from 20 farms. Literature review guided the selection of antibodies of known viruses for initial ELISA testing. Thereafter NGS was carried out to discover further known and novel viruses in the cultivars. Various experiments were carried out on different samples including biotest inoculation, ELISA, RT-PCR, and NGS. Reliable and practical diagnostic tools like these could be developed for the most important viruses leading to a national agricultural certification program that could be established in a common project between German and Colombian universities, the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), the Colombian Corporation of Agricultural Investigation (AGROSAVIA), and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). In dieser Arbeit werden die wichtigsten Viren vorgestellt, die drei Sorten in Kolumbien betreffen, und wie experimentelle Ansätze in den Bereichen Serologie, Molekularbiologie und Bioinformatik angepasst werden können, um ein Protokoll zu erstellen, das für Physalis, Passionsfrucht, Zierrose und eventuell andere Kulturen angewendet werden kann. Die Auswahl der Betriebe erfolgte nach Größe und wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Die erste visuelle Beurteilung der Pflanzensymptome führte zur Entnahme von 370 Proben aus 20 Betrieben. Die Literaturrecherche leitete die Auswahl von Antikörpern bekannter Viren für erste ELISA-Tests. Danach wurde NGS durchgeführt, um weitere bekannte und neuartige Viren in den Sorten zu entdecken. Verschiedene Experimente wurden an verschiedenen Proben durchgeführt, einschließlich Biotest-Inokulation, ELISA, RT-PCR und NGS. Solche zuverlässigen und praktischen Diagnosewerkzeuge könnten für die wichtigsten Viren entwickelt werden, die zu einem nationalen Agrarzertifizierungsprogramm führen, das in einem gemeinsamen Projekt zwischen deutschen und kolumbianischen Universitäten, dem Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) und der Colombian Corporation of Agricultural Investigation (AGROSAVIA), und das Internationale Zentrum für tropische Landwirtschaft (CIAT) eingerichtet werden könnte.

Book excerpt: Written by an international panel of professional and academic peers, the book provides the engineer and technologist working in research, development and operations in the food industry with critical and readily accessible information on the art and science of infrared spectroscopy technology. The book should also serve as an essential reference source to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in universities and research institutions. Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy deals with the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It measure the absorption of different IR frequencies by a sample positioned in the path of an IR beam. Currently, infrared spectroscopy is one of the most common spectroscopic techniques used in the food industry. With the rapid development in infrared spectroscopic instrumentation software and hardware, the application of this technique has expanded into many areas of food research. It has become a powerful, fast, and non-destructive tool for food quality analysis and control. Infrared Spectroscopy for Food Quality Analysis and Control reflects this rapid technology development. The book is divided into two parts. Part I addresses principles and instruments, including theory, data treatment techniques, and infrared spectroscopy instruments. Part II covers the application of IRS in quality analysis and control for various foods including meat and meat products, fish and related products, and others. Explores this rapidly developing, powerful and fast non-destructive tool for food quality analysis and control Presented in two Parts -- Principles and Instruments, including theory, data treatment techniques, and instruments, and Application in Quality Analysis and Control for various foods making it valuable for understanding and application Fills a need for a comprehensive resource on this area that includes coverage of NIR and MVA

Book excerpt: In the last few decades, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has distinguished itself as one of the most rapidly advancing spectroscopic techniques. Mainly known as an analytical tool useful for sample characterization and content quantification, NIR spectroscopy is essential in various other fields, e.g. NIR imaging techniques in biophotonics, medical applications or used for characterization of food products. Its contribution in basic science and physical chemistry should be noted as well, e.g. in exploration of the nature of molecular vibrations or intermolecular interactions. One of the current development trends involves the miniaturization and simplification of instrumentation, creating prospects for the spread of NIR spectrometers at a consumer level in the form of smartphone attachments—a breakthrough not yet accomplished by any other analytical technique. A growing diversity in the related methods and applications has led to a dispersion of these contributions among disparate scientific communities. The aim of this Special Issue was to bring together the communities that may perceive NIR spectroscopy from different perspectives. It resulted in 30 contributions presenting the latest advances in the methodologies essential in near-infrared spectroscopy in a variety of applications.
