“…A descriptive summary of the most essential NMR concepts that may not be widely recognized by the majority of food scientists, will be provided as well. The most common categories of current NMR analyses of foods are relaxometry (Capitani et al, ; Tavares, ), where differences in the magnetic relaxation of food components are investigated; diffusometry (Mariette, ), where the translational diffusion of molecules is measured; imaging (Ablett, ; Hills, ); and high‐resolution NMR spectroscopy (Belton et al., ; Laghi, Picone, & Capozzi, ; Mannina, Sobolev, & Viel, ; Spyros & Dais, ). In this article, we will focus on high‐resolution NMR applications, although selected application examples from other categories, such as diffusion, will be mentioned as modern high‐resolution NMR instruments are capable of running such experiments if equipped with the appropriate hardware.…”
