Exploring portable NIR spectroscopy in transmittance and reflectance modes for the authentication of Brazilian coffees with geographical indications

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Geographical indications (GIs) certify the link between coffee origin and quality, enabling premium pricing and protecting producers. However, the high market value of GI coffees increases their vulnerability to fraud, underscoring the need for reliable and practical authentication methods.

Multi‐Solvent Suppression Ultrafast 2D COSY for High‐Throughput Wine Screening

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
An interleaved ultrafast COSY with multi‐solvent suppression was developed for wine analysis to overcome limitations often associated with 1D 1H NMR (signal overlap) and conventional 2D NMR (long acquisition times) methods. Within an acquisition time of ~20 min, it revealed hidden metabolite peaks and cross peaks for improved annotation and ...
