Real-Time Application of ATR-FTIR Spectroscopic Technique for the Green Authentication Analysis of Children’s Health Nutrition Powders

In today’s world, every product has become artificial and instantaneous due to rapid technological development. Consumers are shifting to healthier diets, and packaged food companies are introducing more functional food items with immunity claims and incorporating more nutritious ingredients into their products. Due to the increased production, the products that ordinary people receive have many flaws and defects. Spectroscopic approaches are unique probing techniques to characterize various compounds in a product and find and rectify molecular-level flaws and defects. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy is considered to be the most effective and simpler technique to identify unknown materials, verify the quality of materials, de-formulate polymers, rubbers, and other materials through the identification of pollutants, examine thin films and coatings, monitor vehicle and smokestack emissions, and conduct failure analysis through Thermos- Gravimetric Infrared (TGA-IR) and other methods. The present study mainly addresses the authentication analysis of children’s health nutrition powders using the ATR-FTIR technique to identify the elemental compounds and assess their benefits and drawbacks to human health.
