Raman technology offers a cutting-edge approach to measuring glucose solutions, providing precise and non-invasive analysis. By probing the vibrational energy levels of molecular bonds, Raman technology generates a unique spectral fingerprint that allows for the accurate determination of glucose concentrations. This study proposes the use of Raman spectroscopy to identify different glucose concentrations through the detection of Raman fingerprints. As expected, higher concentrations of glucose in the solution conducted to higher peak bands, indicating more glucose molecules interacting with light and consequently increasing the magnitude of inelastic scattering. This non-destructive approach preserves sample integrity and facilitates rapid analysis, making it suitable for various applications in biomedical research, pharmaceutical development, and food science.
