Chemometrics in Food Research
Cosponsored by the Computers in Chemistry Division
21-22 August 2002 - Boston, MA - Marriott Copley Place - Salon H/I
Concept | It is common in
food research to make several or many measurements on a set of samples
(e.g. multiple peaks in chromatography, measurements at numerous
wavelengths in spectroscopy or multiple laboratory analyses). This
approach is needed because food chemical, physical, and sensory
properties and their perceptions are clearly multivariate in nature.
Chemometrics is the application of statistical experiment design and
good measurement principles to acquire data that is analyzed by
empirical multivariate mathematical and statistical methods. This
approach focuses on the most useful and meaningful information. It is
particularly applicable to analysis of large data sets (exploratory data
analysis); for identifying unknown samples, detecting adulteration or
performing multivariate QA/QC (pattern recognition); or for constructing
mathematical models that describe the behavior of a system (which may be
a unit operation, an entire process, properties of a food product, or an
analytical method). Such models can be used to improve understanding and
to optimize performance. The purpose of this symposium is to bring
together scientists to discuss applications of chemometrics in food
research including examples from chemical, microbiological and sensory
observations.
