tomato is a major fruit, as well as a major food science product. there is a need of determining the quality attributes of this fruit (nondestructively) due to the increasing demand of the in agro-industrially controlled areas. most of the commonly employed techniques are time consuming and involve a considerable degree of manual work. sample preparation, juice making, and laboratory tests ...

PURPOSE To qualify the FT-Raman spectral data of primary and metastatic cutaneous melanoma in order to obtain a differential diagnosis. METHODS Ten normal human skin samples without any clinical or histopathological alterations, ten cutaneous melanoma fragments, and nine lymph node metastasis samples were used; 105, 140 and 126 spectra were obtained respectively. Each sample was divided into ...

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect is currently exploited as the basis of a new type of optical labels for in vivo investigation of the tissues, especially for early medical diagnostic. Silver colloidal nanoparticles decorated with chemisorbed cresyl violet molecular species could act as hybrid SERS labels. Their Raman scattering properties have been characterized here using differ...

Objective This study evaluated the effect of different filling pastes and cleaning agents on the root dentin of primary teeth using Fourier-transformed Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman), micro energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (µ-EDXRF) and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. Material and Methods Eighty roots of primary teeth were endodontically prepared and distributed into 4 groups...

Raman and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used for assessment of structural differences of celluloses of various origins. Investigated celluloses were: bacterial celluloses cultured in presence of pectin and/or xyloglucan, as well as commercial celluloses and cellulose extracted from apple parenchyma. FT-IR spectra were used to estimate of the I(β) content, whereas Raman spe...

diagnosis of infected and affected dentine is an important factor in clininal restorative treatment of dentine. in this study, the ir and raman spectra of the sound dentine, infected dentine and affected dentine are reported. the structure of infected dentine and affected dentine has been compared with the sound dentine and hydroxyapatite. it is shown while the infected dentine has lost its str...
