Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A new technology employing Raman spectroscopy is attracting attention as a powerful biochemical technique for the detection of beneficial and functional food nutrients, such as proteins, fats and carotenoids. This technique allows for the dynamic characterization of food nutrient substances for the rapid determination of food quality. In this study, using Raman technology, we attempt to detect and measure astaxanthin from salmon fillets, taurine from squid, and unsaturated fatty acids from Bluefin tuna. The results showed that these functional food nutrients were successfully detected and measured using Raman spectroscopy.
