Though fluorescence is a long-established analytical method, it has only recently gained prominence as a valuable tool in food technology. As a particularly sensitive analytical technique, fluorescence spectroscopy allows for the precise identification of various components (functional, compositional and nutritional) of food products, including contaminants and additives. The introduction of new commercially available instruments for fluorescence analysis, coupled with improvements in time resolution and in the instrumentation of both its hardware and software, have given risen to a sharp increase in the technique's popularity. Presently, it is a rapidly evolving analytical tool used in determining food product quality and authenticity across the industry. While typically discussed alongside other analytical techniques such as mid infrared, near infrared and Raman, the use of fluorescence spectroscopy in food quality control has not been covered in a dedicated, up-to-date volume in several decades.
