Human health is seriously endangered by economically motivated adulterations of food stuffs, in general, and fruit juices, in particular. Additional advances are needed in trustworthy techniques for the fast recognition of fraudulent ingredients in the supply chain.

Juice adulteration was used as a case study to evaluate its performances. Chemometrics tools demonstrated that the instrument was able to sense in a few minutes two adulterated juices.
