INTRODUCTION
Training Schools are one of the type of networking activities organised by a Cost Action to help the Action achieve their MoU Objectives and deliver impact with regard to Capacity Building and Research Coordination.
SENSORFINT Cost Action organises its Second Training School on Spectroscopy aims to deepen the trainee’s knowledge in the fundamentals, data processing and applications of different non-destructive spectral sensors. The training school will give an introduction to practical applied spectroscopy for assessment of food quality. Focus will be on near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy. There will be lectures, some practical experience with instrumentation, as well as exercises in analysis of spectral data.
The SENSORFINT Second Training School will be celebrated from 12 Sept -2023 (9.00 pm) to 14 Sept -2023 (16.00 pm) at the Food Research Institute Nofima, Campus Ås, Norway. Modality: face to face
SUMMARY OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM:
- Introduction to NIR, HSI and Raman spectroscopy.
- Key aspects in the development of applications.
- Representative sampling and its importance.
- Spectral data processing: calibration and validation.
- Applications of spectral sensors in food applications.
- Use of spectral sensors in process control.
- Visit to the spectral sensor lab of Nofima.
- Practical sessions for data processing.
