B＆W Tek拉曼系统以检测姜饼饼干中的香料

Since the 1930s, one long-standing Chrsitmas tradition remains a common practice in the United States - putting out a plate of cookies and a glass of milk for Santa Claus.¹

Now the season is over and the New Year resolutions take hold, Santa Claus is having a hard time reducing his waist size as he eats over 300 million cookies in a single night, thanks to the generosity of many homes in the United States.²

The gingerbread man is the iconic cookie that stands out among the millions of cookies eaten during the season.Gingerbread从糖蜜（深棕色糖）和姜饼香料的混合物中获得独特的风味 - 姜，豆蔻，肉桂，丁香，肉豆蔻和五香粉的混合物。

Each of these spices offers a range of health benefits. For example, ginger soothes the symptoms of nausea and vomiting and alleviates types of inflammation and pain;³and cinnamon helps regulate blood glucose as a consequence of type 2 diabetes and obesity.⁴

使用B＆W Tek的Portal Raman和BWID软件，可以轻松组装Raman Spectral Spectral Spectral库。另外，使用手持式拉曼的库功能还可以帮助识别您在厨房中可能拥有的未知或未标记的香料袋或希望在市场上购买的香料。

B＆W Tek Raman系统are equipped with either 532-nm, 785-nm or 1064-nm lasers. To generate the optimal Raman spectra from spices, portable Raman 1064-nm systems like i-Raman EX, i-Raman Prime-1064, STRam-1064, or handheld Raman 1064-nm systems like TacticID-Mobile, TacticID-1064 or NanoRam-1064, are advised.

使用具有此波长的光源可显着降低黑暗和天然样品发出的强大荧光。使用Stram-1064从9种不同的香料中获取的拉曼光谱显示在图1A中，而图1B则展示了使用Spectral库的BWID软件的肉桂搜索结果。

Correspondingly, a spice library can be generated in the TacticID-1064 and employed to determine containers of unknown spices (Figure 2). It is vital to use low laser power as spices can burn under an intense laser.

TheB＆W Tek拉曼系统激光功率can be adjusted at increments of 1%, making them ideal for acquiring Raman spectra from flammable samples.
