title: Photoacoustic characterization of different food samples.
abstract: Photoacoustic spectroscopy in the 350-700 nm range proved a useful tool for discriminating between a variety of opaque, light-scattering samples. Spectral features originating from powdered food specimens of different colour and grain size were observed. These results suggest the feasibility of photoacoustics for quality control in the food-processing industry.
