Concord grape juice is an especially valuable fruit juice due to its unique composition, sensory sttributes, and health benefits. Currently, methods of authentication are impractical at production scale. We propose Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy in combination with chemometric analysis as a rapid means of authenticating Concord grape juice. Authentic grape juice samples were used as training sets to create SIMCA and PLS models capable of qualitative and quantiavie analysis respectively. The SIMCA model was effective at discriminating pure 100% juices on the basis of variety and capable of predicting the varieties of unknown samples. The PLS model was capable of predicting the content of Concord grape juice in a grape juice blend with an associated error of 8.4%. These simple models show the feasibility of FT-IR coupled with chemometrics as production scale tools for Concord grape juice authentication.
