Abstract
Because of the mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of impurities, controlling and monitoring them has become a very important process in drug development and production. This process, also called quality control, formed the basis of the pharmaceutical industry. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy have a wide range of applications, from the characterization of drug formulations to the explanation of kinetic processes and the determination of adulteration on many foods and food products with different properties. An ability to analyze with low cost and reliable results shows a great promise for using these methods in drug quality control. It is seen that choosing multivariate methods to be applied in the evaluation of FTIR and Raman spectra quickly and accurately in terms of quality and safety of foods increases the performance of identification. In this chapter, impurities in pharmacology are defined, and applications on the quality of drugs and adulteration of foods using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy are explained.
