Assessing the Carasau Bread Doughs Microwave Spectra by Elisabetta Orrù, Matteo B. Lodi, Luca Lodi

“…Dielectric spectroscopy (DS), particularly in the microwave (MW) range, has emerged as a non-destructive, cost-effective tool for food characterization, providing insights into microstructure and composition. MW DS has been applied to assess fermentation dynamics and ingredient influence in CB doughs, with previous studies modeling dielectric properties using a third-order Cole–Cole model up to 8.5 GHz and later extending to 20 GHz. …”

Blood parameters predicted from milk spectra are candidate indicator traits of hyperketonemia—A retrospective study in the Italian Holstein population by S. Magro, M. De Marchi, M. Cassandro, R. Finocchiaro, A. Fabris, M. Marusi, A. Costa

“…Milk mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy has been successfully used for the prediction of several health traits in the last years, including blood metabolite concentrations, even though the model accuracy is moderate. In fact, MIR-predicted blood parameters are useful for population screening and may be used for selective breeding if they are heritable and genetically variable within a population. …”
