Luis Rodriguez-Saona's research focuses on using vibrational spectroscopy techniques—such as infrared (FT-IR, near-infrared) and Raman spectroscopy—combined with chemometrics and machine learning to rapidly assess quality, composition, and safety of foods. Recent work spans testing beverages (beer, orange juice, pisco), produce (tomatoes), dairy proteins, and insect-based proteins, often using portable or handheld devices for on-site or in-field analysis. The work has practical applications for detecting contaminants, pesticides, and mycotoxins in food, as well as monitoring quality traits during food processing.
