A Review of Recent Studies Employing Hyperspectral Imaging for the Determination of Food Adulteration

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

Applications of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) methods in food adulteration detection have been surveyed in this study. Subsequent to the research on existing literature, studies were evaluated based on different food categories. Tea, coffee, and cocoa; nuts and seeds; herbs and spices; honey and oil; milk and milk products; meat and meat products; cereal and cereal products; and fish and fishery products are the eight different categories investigated within the context of the present study. A summary of studies on these topics was made, and articles reported in 2019 and 2020 were explained in detail. Research objectives, data acquisition systems, and algorithms for data analysis have been introduced briefly with a particular focus on feature wavelength selection methods. In light of the information extracted from the related literature, methods and alternative approaches to increasing the success of HSI based methods are presented. Furthermore, challenges and future perspectives are discussed.
