  - Vaseline, also referred to as petrolatum, is a colloidal dispersion of liquid-crystalline
    structures of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. It has long been recognized
    for its versatile applications in the pharmaceutical industry, with its use in
    the formulation of various topical medications, wound care products, and drug
    delivery systems. For pharmaceutical use, petrolatum has to meet the quality standards
    described in its Pharmacopoeia monograph. The comprised test ranges allow for
    a broad range of Vaseline qualities on the market, while the tests themselves
    only poorly discriminate between grades. The only differentiating properties are
    related to the melting behavior, which is tested via drop point analysis, and
    the consistency, addressed in the functionality-related characteristics section.
    In this study, we propose the hypothesis that Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
    could be a comparably simple method to evaluate the crystalline behavior of Vaseline
    qualities. We expect such information to provide additional details for Vaseline
    quality discrimination. This discrimination would allow the most suitable petroleum
    jelly to be selected for an existing formulation when the previous one needs to
    be replaced; for example, due to a manufacturer change. We demonstrate that NIRS
    in transmission and reflectance mode obtained by traditional continuous spectra
    acquisition and fragmented NIR spectra acquisition through multi-optical, multi-modal
    excitation, respectively, can both serve as a basis for detecting Vaseline quality
    differences, which we have further proven by thermal analysis and tests with semisolid
    formulations. Additionally, we demonstrate that a lower-cost multi-optical spectrometer
    in reflectance mode can detect Vaseline quality differences in rotated samples.@eng
