NutriScan uses attenuated total reflectance (ATR) near-infrared spectroscopy to analyze characteristic absorption patterns from chemical bond vibrations. Starches absorb at 800-1200 nm, proteins at 1200-1800 nm, and lipids at 1800-3000 nm, allowing us to estimate macronutrient composition with lab-grade accuracy in a portable device.
