This 30-minute webinar focuses on the use of FTIR spectroscopy for food and beverage analysis, addressing practical challenges from raw materials through processing, packaging, and quality control. It outlines why FTIR is widely used to assess product origin, authenticity, safety, and compliance, and where analytical testing is most effective within the farm-to-fork process.
Real application examples demonstrate how FTIR supports routine QC, R&D, and investigative analysis across food, beverage, and related pharmaceutical workflows.
What you will learn
The webinar explains how FTIR can be applied to:
- Verify product origin, traceability, and freshness
- Detect food fraud and adulteration in high-value products such as olive oil, alcohol, milk, and syrups
- Identify physical, biological, and chemical contamination during processing and packaging
- Perform quantitative measurements to support regulatory limits and labelling requirements
- Select appropriate FTIR sampling accessories for liquids, solids, viscous samples, and long-term reaction monitoring
It also highlights the role of transmission, ATR, consumable ATR, heated analysis, and microscopy in addressing real-world food safety and packaging challenges.
