The rising demand for plant-based foods, driven by environmental concerns and dietary shifts, has intensified research into plant protein sources. Accurate determination of protein content and structure is essential for ensuring the nutritional quality, optimizing functionality, and maintaining product consistency. Traditional protein analysis methods, while effective, often require extensive sample preparation and time-consuming procedures. Vibrational spectroscopy, including Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR), Near-Infrared (NIR), and Raman spectroscopy, offers a rapid, non-destructive, and efficient alternative for protein characterization in complex food matrices. Scope and approach: This review explores the application of vibrational spectroscopy in evaluating plant-based protein content and their secondary structure. It outlines the fundamental principles of FTIR, NIR, and Raman spectroscopy, emphasizing their advantages over conventional techniques. Key challenges, such as spectral overlap, water interference, and calibration requirements, are discussed alongside emerging solutions involving chemometric approaches, artificial intelligence, and hybrid analytical techniques. Key findings and conclusions: Vibrational spectroscopy provides precise protein quantification and structural analysis with minimal sample preparation. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy complement each other in protein conformation analysis, while NIR facilitates rapid bulk protein assessment. Advances in computational methods are enhancing spectral interpretation and accuracy. Integrating vibrational spectroscopy with complementary techniques can further improve protein characterization, supporting the development of high-quality, sustainable plant-based protein sources for food and biotechnology applications.Book Part High-Performance Materials and Engineered Chemistry(CRC Press, 2018) Türk, Merve; Gümüş, Barış; Ustun, Fatma; Balköse, DevrimNano-sized nickel borate hydrate were precipitated from equimolar mixtures of dilute nickel nitrate and borax solutions at 25°C. Produced nickel borate samples were characterized by TGA, DSC, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, SEM, Elemental Analysis (EDX), Titration (nickel determination by EDTA, B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> determination by NaOH), Particle Size Distribution, and Dehydration. The particles with 55 nm, 80 nm and 70 nm sizes were obtained for the cases without template, with span 60 and PEG 4000 in the reaction mixture respectively. The empirical formula of the vacuum dried precipitates were NiO.1.3B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.6 H<inf>2</inf>O, NiO.1.2B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.6 H<inf>2</inf>O and NiO.1.0B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.4 H<inf>2</inf>O for the cases without template, with span 60 and PEG 4000. The density of the nickel borate hydrates was around 2 g/ml and they had a color described by 157, 199 and 158 in RGB color scale. The nickel borate hydrates were amorphous in structure and no sharp peaks related to a crystal structure was present in their x-ray diffraction diagram. The effect of presence of span 60 and PEG 4000 were not significant on the particle size and chemical composition of the nanoparticles. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
