Foods, which have the highest physical and chemical complex structure have to be analyzed for a variety of reasons. Legal authorities carry out analyzes to check whether foods comply with the regulations in the codex. The aim is to prevent unfair economic gain and the possibility of damaging consumers. Besides food analysis are also important for food manufacturers. They carry out these analyzes to ensure that the raw materials and the foods they produce meet the desired quality characteristics during the storage, production and shipping stages. Academic studies on food are in the direction of developing new and more easily applicable analysis methods, preventing the above-mentioned unwanted situations, elaborating the compounds contained in food and producing new foods with high economic value. In recent years, consumers have also become more demanding for the analytical determination of the quality of food. The frequent occurrence of food scandals in the press might be the cause of this situation. So, the rapid analysis of foods has gained importance in recent years. There are two main approaches to rapid analysis of foods. The first is to use the physical properties of foods as a source of information, the other one is to automate chemical methods. Most of the rapid analysis methods based on physical properties of foods are based on spectroscopic methods. Infrared spectroscopy is one of those spectroscopic methods.
