“…It is outside the scope of this review to describe the current technologies used for portable spectroscopy. Several recent reviews cover in detail the technological developments that have taken place in the last two decades in this area [29,[34][35][36][37]. However, in the present review, it is important to briefly mention the main characteristics of the portable spectrometers that have been scientifically evaluated in dairy products (Table 1).…”

Quality and safety monitoring in the dairy industry is required to ensure products meet a high-standard based on legislation and customer requirements. The need for non-destructive, low-cost and user-friendly process analytical technologies, targeted at operators (as the end-users) for routine product inspections is increasing. In recent years, the development and advances in sensing technologies have led to miniaturisation of near infrared (NIR) spectrometers to a new era. The new generation of miniaturised NIR analysers are designed as compact, small and lightweight devices with a low cost, providing a strong capability for on-site or on-farm product measurements. Applying portable and handheld NIR spectrometers in the dairy sector is increasing; however, little information is currently available on these applications and instrument performance. As a result, this review focuses on recent developments of handheld and portable NIR devices and its latest applications in the field of dairy, including chemical composition, on-site quality detection, and safety assurance (i.e., adulteration) in milk, cheese and dairy powders. Comparison of model performance between handheld and bench-top NIR spectrometers is also given. Lastly, challenges of current handheld/portable devices and future trends on implementing these devices in the dairy sector is discussed.

“…NIR spectroscopy has been extensively applied for rapid quality assessment in diverse food product chains. Recent comprehensive reviews report success of this technique in assessing quality parameters in meat (Berri et al, 2019;Dixit et al, 2017), fish (Cheng & Sun, 2017), and dairy (Pu et al, 2020) products. In the horticultural field, NIR spectral range is often associated with visible spectral region (i.e., VIS-NIR), leading to successful applications for the in-line inspection of agro-food products under semi-industrial conditions (Cortés et al, 2019).…”

Spectroscopic approaches for non-destructive shell egg quality and freshness evaluation: Opportunities and challenges

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Shell egg quality and freshness are traditionally assessed by destructive laboratorylevel methods, thus restricting the possibilities to be easily guaranteed in the industrial chain. Non-destructive techniques are therefore of paramount importance, giving accuracy, speed, and instantaneous results. Among these techniques, spectroscopy is promising because it would allow the development of on-line applications for shell egg grading, with clear benefits for both industries and consumers. However, there are still few works in the literature about this topic. Thus, this review presents recently published (years 2015-2020) applications of spectroscopy methods (i.e., VIS-NIR, NIR, Raman, microwaves, hyperspectral imaging, pulsed IR thermography) to the nondestructive assessment of shell egg quality and freshness, with the aim of boosting the research in this field giving some directions for the fulfilment of industrial needs. Indeed, spectroscopic techniques have been proven to be useful tools for the evaluation of shell egg quality and freshness. The advances in instrumentation and data analysis allow to predict shell egg quality by non-destructive, fast, and environmentally friendly approaches. However, the industrial implementation still requires robust calibration transfer to simplified hand-held systems for low-cost and easy use.

“…Advances and practical considerations for NIR spectroscopy as a tool for the real-time (on-line or in-line) monitoring of products in the dairy industry have been reviewed recently for progress made over the last decade [75]. Likewise, a performance comparison between ultraviolet, visible, and NIR spectroscopy for off-line compositional analysis of the principal components in raw cow's milk (fat, protein, lactose) and the rapid, online implementation thereof has been reviewed [76].…”

Quality checks, assessments, and the assurance of food products, raw materials, and food ingredients is critically important to ensure the safeguard of foods of high quality for safety and public health. Nevertheless, quality checks, assessments, and the assurance of food products along distribution and supply chains is impacted by various challenges. For instance, the development of portable, sensitive, low-cost, and robust instrumentation that is capable of real-time, accurate, and sensitive analysis, quality checks, assessments, and the assurance of food products in the field and/or in the production line in a food manufacturing industry is a major technological and analytical challenge. Other significant challenges include analytical method development, method validation strategies, and the non-availability of reference materials and/or standards for emerging food contaminants. The simplicity, portability, non-invasive, non-destructive properties, and low-cost of NIR spectrometers, make them appealing and desirable instruments of choice for rapid quality checks, assessments and assurances of food products, raw materials, and ingredients. This review article surveys literature and examines current challenges and breakthroughs in quality checks and the assessment of a variety of food products, raw materials, and ingredients. Specifically, recent technological innovations and notable advances in quartz crystal microbalances (QCM), electroanalytical techniques, and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic instrument development in the quality assessment of selected food products, and the analysis of food raw materials and ingredients for foodborne pathogen detection between January 2019 and July 2020 are highlighted. In addition, chemometric approaches and multivariate analyses of spectral data for NIR instrumental calibration and sample analyses for quality assessments and assurances of selected food products and electrochemical methods for foodborne pathogen detection are discussed. Moreover, this review provides insight into the future trajectory of innovative technological developments in QCM, electroanalytical techniques, NIR spectroscopy, and multivariate analyses relating to general applications for the quality assessment of food products.
