Nutraceuticals and foods of interestDevelopment of optical methods for real-time monitoring of phytochemicals (carotenoids, polyphenols) of fruits and vegetables based on Raman scattering and portable or handheld devices. Antioxidant flavonoids such as rutin, quercetin, luteolin, carotenoids in vegetables and fruits. Novel methods based on Raman spectroscopy are currently being evaluated on spinach, olives, etc. Fields of application Identification of the nutraceutical and antioxidant content of fruit and vegetables directly in the field or in packaged products, monitoring of oxidative stress conditions Facilities and equipments The NanoBioSpectroscopy Lab at IFAC is equipped with Raman portable devices, benchtop Raman systems with microscopic resolution |
