Quality control of eggs using multivariate analysis of micro-Raman spectroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Considering the pivotal role of eggs in the food industry and their nutritional significance, this study employed micro-Raman spectroscopy of eggs, examining both shells and yolks to assess the quality and freshness of eggs. Raman spectra were collected at different temperatures and time intervals to investigate temperature and time effects ...

Simulations of coherent nonlinear optical response of molecular vibronic dimers [PDF]
, 2016 We have implemented vibronic dynamics for simulations of the third order coherent response of electronic dimers. In the present communication we provide the full and detailed description of the dynamical model, recently used for simulations of chlorophyll-carotenoid dyads, terylene dimers, or hypericin.

Modified atmosphere packaging and dark/light refrigerated storage in green leafy vegetables have impact on nutritional value [PDF]
, 2019 The consumption of zeaxanthin (Z) through a vegetable-rich diet is recommended to reduce the progression of age-related macular degeneration. Due to Z’s intrinsic dynamic character that results from its participation in the photoprotective xanthophyll ...
