FOURIER TRANSFORMED INFRA RED SPECTROSCOPY IN BEEPRODUCTS ANALYSIS
Keywords:
FTIR spectroscopy, Beeproducts, qualitative analysis, authenticityAbstract
FTIR spectroscopy is a very recent technique mainly used so far for classification of
honeys of different geographical and botanical origin, on identification of honey
and other food products adulteration. Some of the advantages of FTIR methodology
are described in this article.
