Analytical and Chemometric Tools: Tutorials with Practical Applications to Food Security and Safety

Analytical and Chemometric Tools: An up-to-date Tutorial with Practical Applications to Food Security and Safety provides a one-stop tutorial in understanding the tools required for applying chemometrics to food and forensic chemistry. With a generous compilation of practical examples, the book covers a theoretical discussion of chemometric methods, summarizes up-too-date targeted and untargeted analytical methods in the field of forensic science, and presents real-life case studies applied to methods of chemometrics for food and forensic chemistry. This book is a valuable resource for chemists, forensic scientists, food scientists, students, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.

• Provides an application based focus that bridges the gap between chemometrics and food and forensic chemistry
• Presents real-life case studies that demonstrate the methods of chemometrics used for food and forensic chemistry
• Includes broad coverage of all aspects of chemometrics, from analytical to theoretical methods

Dr. Alessandra Biancolillo attained her PhD Degree in Spectroscopy and Chemometrics by the University of Copenhagen (KU) working on a joint project between the Norwegian Institute for Food and Fishery (NOFIMA) and KU. After this, she has been a post-doc researcher at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart School of Medicine (Rome, Italy) and an ingénieurs de recherché (post-doc researcher) at the IRSTEA institute in Montpellier (France). Since 2019, she is researcher at the University of L’Aquila (Italy). Her main research topics are multi-block analysis, classification method development and feature selection.
