Cover Story: This study employed NIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy to characterize various starch-containing flours. Eighteen flours were analysed, aiming to chemically characterize them and develop a rapid method for identifying starch sources in food. This work followed an untargeted approach where all the acquired spectra were used as fingerprints of the investigated samples. UV-Vis spectra (225–800 nm) were acquired post starch extraction, while NIR spectra (900–1700 nm) were obtained without pretreatments using a portable poliSPEC NIRe instrument. Principal component and cluster analyses revealed patterns among flours. The UV-Vis model successfully differentiated most of the samples. PCA results from NIR spectra also highlighted differences in accordance with UV-vis, making this a valuable alternative for a fast and non-destructive analysis. View this paper
