Vibrational Spectroscopy Applications in Biomedical, Pharmaceutical and Food Sciences synthesizes the latest research on the applications of vibrational spectroscopy in biomedical, pharmaceutical and food analysis. Suitable for graduate-level students as well as experienced researchers in academia and industry, this book is organized into five distinct sections. The first deals with the fundamentals of vibrational spectroscopy, with the second presenting the most important sampling methodology used for infrared and Raman spectroscopy in various fields of interest. Since spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, this section deals with the characteristics, properties and absorption of electromagnetic radiation.
Final sections describe the analytical studies performed all over the world in biomedical, pharmaceutical and in the food sciences.
- Presents a critical discussion of many of the applications of vibrational spectroscopy
- Covers details of the analytical methodologies used in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications
- Discusses the latest developments in pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis of both small and large molecules
