“…Recently, FTIR has been applied to study saliva from diabetic patients [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ] and patients with oral pathologies [ 22 , 23 ] and to identify cancer biomarkers [ 4 , 24 , 25 ] and COVID-19-related biomarkers [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Recently, ATR-FTIR spectra in tandem with chemometric have been employed to analyze the spectral changes in semen, saliva, and urine in violent crimes during dry out, allowing to estimate their time since deposition [ 30 ].…”
