Analytical and Chemometric Tools

Analytical and Chemometric Tools, 1st Edition, edited by Alessandra Biancolillo, offers a practical tutorial on chemometrics applied to food and forensic chemistry. Subtitled Tutorials with Practical Applications to Food Security and Safety, the work details analytical methods designed to support quantitative evaluation, data processing, and matrix characterization across food security and safety settings.

The main text follows an organizing logic that moves systematically from preliminary data treatment to higher-level analytical modeling. Initial chapters address spectral data pre-processing methods as well as chromatographic data alignment and pre-treatment. Later sections explore unsupervised exploratory analysis, classical and cutting-edge regression methods, and multivariate classification techniques.

By linking mathematical procedures with concrete laboratory challenges, the text demonstrates practical implementations including food fraud detection and quality control operations. This structured tutorial design provides intended instructional support and analytical utility for MSc Chemistry students, university academics, scientific researchers, and analytical chemistry practitioners.
