SPECTRAFOOD: DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED PORTABLE DEVICE FOR NON-INVASIVE MULTIMODAL SPECTROSCOPIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF FOOD RAW MATERIALS (Apr 2021-Oct 2023)
Updtate: extended to December 15 2023
The final objective of the project is to produce a low-cost, easy-to-use, PORTABLE device for multi-mode spectroscopic analysis of
– presence of chlorinated pesticides such as penconazole and imidacloprid in leaves of selected plants. The detection of the presence of pesticides is based on the exploitation of the chemical and fluorescence properties of specially synthesised and functionally selected NANOPARTICLES (ZnO).
– protein and moisture (hydration) content in intact flours and grains with an accuracy of 0.5%.
– other food raw materials. During the project saffron has been identyfied as an interesting use case for food fraud (collaboration with Prof. S. Ordoudi, University of Tessaloniki).
