Spectroscopic Methods in Food Analysis

Adriana S. Franca, PhD, received her BSc in chemical engineering in 1988 and MSc in mechanical engineering in 1991 from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. She completed her PhD in agricultural and biological engineering from Purdue University in 1995. She is currently a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and also teaches a grad-uate course on food sciences. She has published 94 articles in international journals, 21 book chapters, and has presented more than 200 research papers at various interna-tional conferences. Her research areas include food science, sustainable uses of agricul-tural residues, coffee chemistry, heat transfer, microwaves, and spectroscopic methods.
