ABSTRACT
The applicability of diffuse reflectance spectroscopic techniques to the studies of photochemical degradation of foodstuffs is discussed. Experimental methods and the theoretical base for their quantitative usage are explored. Some examples of practical application of the techniques for photochemical studies in heterogeneous opaque systems are presented. The methods discussed provide essential parameters of the foodstuffs, that cannot be assessed otherwise.
