Article Abstract
Raman spectroscopy (RS) has for decades been considered a promising tool for food analysis, but widespread adoption has been held back by, e.g., high instrument costs and sampling limitations regarding heterogeneous samples. The aim of the present study was to use wide area RS in conjunction with surface scanning to overcome the obstacle of heterogeneity. Four different food matrices were scanned (intact and homogenized pork and by-products from salmon and poultry processing) and the bulk chemical parameters such as fat and protein content were estimated using partial least squares regression (PLSR). The performance of PLSR models from RS was compared with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Good to excellent results were obtained with PLSR models from RS for estimation of fat content in all food matrices (coefficient of determination for cross-validation (R) from 0.73 to 0.96 and root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) from 0.43% to 2.06%). Poor to very good PLSR models were obtained for estimation of protein content in salmon and poultry by-product using RS (R from 0.56 to 0.92 and RMSECV from 0.85% to 0.94%). The performance of RS was similar to NIRS for all analyses. This work demonstrates the applicability of RS to analyze bulk composition in heterogeneous food matrices and paves way for future applications of RS in routine food analyses.

Background: Avenanthramides (AVAs) and Avenacosides (AVEs) are unique to oats (Avena Sativa) and may serve as biomarkers of oat intake. However, information regarding their validity as food intake biomarkers is missing. We aimed to investigate critical validation parameters such as half-lives, dose-response, matrix effects, relative bioavailability under single dose, and in relation to the abundance of Feacalibacterium prausnitzii, and under repeated dosing, to understand the potential applications of AVAs and AVEs as biomarkers of oat intake.

Sepiolite (SP) is a naturally occurring sedimentary silicate clay mineral known for its unique structure, high surface area, and rich surface chemistry, particularly silanol groups (Si-OH), which facilitate strong interfacial interactions in polymer matrices. Its ability to act as a nanofiller has gained attention in the development of advanced biopolymer nanocomposites, especially for food packaging applications where material performance, sustainability, and safety are critical. SP enhances the thermal stability, barrier properties, and mechanical strength of starch and other biopolymer matrices, key factors in extending shelf life.

The contamination of agricultural soils with military-grade explosives such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazaccyclohexane (RDX) and 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclohexane (HMX) is an emerging concern in post-conflict regions, where food crops may take up these compounds. This study presents a novel analytical approach for detecting explosive residues in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown on contaminated substrates.

Food allergies pose a significant global health challenge, underscoring the need for effective detection and suppression methods. Conventional detection methods, such as ELISA and PCR, are often limited by challenges related to sensitivity and specificity, particularly when applied to complex food matrices. This review presents an overview of recent advancements in aptamer-based technologies, which present a promising approach for food allergen detection due to their high specificity and affinity for target molecules.

Turmeric-derived curcumin offers various health benefits but has poor bioavailability due to low water solubility and rapid gastrointestinal degradation. A recently proposed raw-to-nano strategy enables the direct formulation of turmeric nanoparticles from raw turmeric, using inherent biopolymers to encapsulate and protect curcumin. However, it remains unclear how these nanoparticles enhance gastrointestinal bioavailability and how food matrices influence this process.
