Inhaltsangabe

Problem-Oriented Analytical Chemistry Driven by Chemometrics covers challenges that are relevant to many fields using analytical techniques, including food quality and safety, environmental studies, product authentication, and petrochemistry using an analytical data science approach. The book's novel approach starts from case studies, allowing analytical chemists to understand how seemingly impenetrable chemometrics techniques can be applied to solve problems. It is written primarily to assist graduate and postdoc analytical chemists and early researchers, but has applicability to industry, too.

Many analytical chemists dealing with complex, real-world problems face significant difficulties extracting information from their data. In many cases, solutions are available in the chemometrics arena but relevant books are usually too technical and do not always focus on the 'general perspective' needed by the analyst when facing those complex tools.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Luis Cuadros-Rodríguez is tenured full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Granada, Spain. He has worked in the field of Chemometrics, Chemical Metrology and Qualimetrics for many years. His focus is on developing protocols to optimize and validate analytical processes and methods. The authentication of olive oil was the main matter of his research, looking for analytical methods which can detect frauds in this 'gold' liquid. As a result, many innovative methodologies were published, most of them combining chemometrics and chromatography to get highly reliable results. In particular, he has contributed to lay down the basis of chromatographic fingerprinting methodology as a tool of major relevance in the field of food authentication. In addition, his research team has recently proposed a strategy to make chromatographic signals independent of the instrument itself or its state of maintenance, which has been termed 'instrument-agnostization'.

Ana María Jiménez-Carvelo is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Granada, Spain since 2018. Her research is focused on the application of chemometrics to the chemical authentication of food, using the fingerprinting methodology applying chromatographic (GC and LC) and spectrometric (IR, Raman) techniques. Her current research aims at i) improving and developing innovative fast-analytical methods to quality control of food, as well as to minimize the use of solvents using the fingerprinting methodology, and (ii) exploring the application of chemometric/data mining algorithms on data obtained by advanced analytical techniques in order to assess the authenticity of food products without the need to identify any specific compound.
In these lines she has played an important role in developing new multivariate analytical methods of classification and quantification in analytical food chemistry, especially in the olive oil field.

Jose M. Andrade-Garda is a full professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of A Coruña, Spain since 2011. During his Ph.D. he worked in a refinery as a quality control technician. Currently his main interests are on multivariate data analysis in the environmental and petrochemical fields, mainly IR applications to speed quality control procedures in several manufacturing environments. He has also contributed to novel applications of multivariate modelling (in particular, PLS) to atomic spectrometry. At present, he is focused on microplastics analysis in several environmental matrices and their subsequent spectral identification.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Many analytical chemists dealing with complex, real-world problems face significant difficulties extracting information from their data. Problem-Oriented Analytical Chemistry Driven by Chemometrics provides a novel approach starting from case studies and allowing the analytical chemist to understand how sometimes seemingly impenetrable chemometrics techniques can be applied to the problems they want to solve.

In many cases, solutions are available in the chemometrics arena but relevant books in that field are usually too technical and do not always focus on the 'general perspective' needed by the analyst when facing those complex tools. The contributions will focus on actual case studies of applications with examples of the results to be obtained and a clear description of which conditions need to be met for a given chemometric technique to be applicable with those different conditions/instruments. The first part of the book focuses on the optimization, acquisition, and processing of analytics. The second then looks at the qualitative and quantitative characterization of analytical instruments and material systems, before the final part displays how chemometric support can be provided for special analytical matters.

Problem-Oriented Analytical Chemistry Driven by Chemometrics is written primarily to assist graduate and postdoc analytical chemists and early researchers, with applicability to industry too. The challenges addressed in this book are also highly relevant to adjacent fields using analytical techniques including food quality and safety, environmental studies, product authentication, and petrochemistry.
