Raman Spectroscopy in the Food Industry [Hardcover]

Raman Spectroscopy and its modes have gained increasing attention in food processing. This book briefly introduces the fundamentals and modes of the technique. It then covers useful applications of Raman Spectroscopy in product quality and chemical analysis, foodborne pathogens and chemical contaminations, and detection of food adulteration.

Uur Tamer is a professor of Pharmacy Faculty at Gazi University in Turkey. He received Ph.D. degree in 2003 at Hacettepe University Department of Analytical chemistry. Under the mentorship of Professor Dr Kadir Pekmez and Professor Dr Attila Y1ld1z, his research focused on modified electrodes and conducting polymers. He was involved in Prof. Dr. Harry Marks electroanalytical research group as a visiting scholar in the department of chemistry at Cincinnati University in 2002 and He had worked a post-doctoral researcher, working with Professor Curtis Shannon, in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Auburn University in 2005. He was involved in Raman research group as a visiting professor, at Le Mans University, France. His research focuses on sensor applications in diagnostics, food safety, modified electrodes, electrochemical controlled micro-extraction, enantiomer separations, magnetic and anisotropic nanoparticles, surface modification and surface enhanced Raman scattering of biological interface. His research group also constructed a paper based microfluidic surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) device that uses nanostructure-embedded based microfluidic system to provide SERS-active sites or electrochemical measurements. He has published 160 peer-reviewed research papers and 6 book chapters. He is also on the editorial board of Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Biosensor and Bioelectronics X.
