Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been validated as a highly accurate and specific technique for the discrimination, identification, and potential quantification of different types of chemical compounds. However, its application for the detection of potential hazardous chemical targets in foods has not yet been well developed due to interferences from the complicated food matrices, which could lead to challenges in spectral deconvolution and interpretation. The accurate separation and enrichment of the analyte from food samples are major challenges for analytical chemists and food technologists. Ausführliche Beschreibung
