Classification

An important issue to the food and beverage industry is product origin. Is the product really what the label says it is or is a disreputable supplier trying to pass off inferior produce as something with a higher margin?

The ingredients, their origin and how they are processed, instil a product with a unique set of properties which can often be characterised using spectroscopic techniques. Using multivariate data analysis, a model can then be built to classify samples as either authentic or fake.
