Genetically modified (GM) technology is of great significance for increasing crop production, protecting biodiversity, and reducing environmental pollution. However, with the frequent occurrence of safety events regarding GM foods, more and more disputes have arisen over the potential safety of transgenic technology. It is particularly necessary to find a fast and accurate method for transgenic product identification. In this research, mid-infrared spectroscopy, coupled with chemometric methods, was applied to discriminate GM maize from its non-GM parent. A total of 120 GM maize and 120 non-GM...
