Food traceability is a growing consumer concern worldwide.
Traceability is undertaken primarily at the administrative level,
where the use of advanced analytical tools is not available.
Nevertheless, the determination of geographical origin is a
requirement of the traceability system for the import and export of
foodstuffs (EU regulation 178/2002). The topics covered in this
book include the history of traceability; legislations and rules;
the actual traceability techniques and the potential analytical
techniques for food traceability such as molecular methods (e.g.
DGGE, SSCP), next generation sequencers (NGS), bio-captors,
chromatographic techniques, isotopic analysis that are used for
discrimination of organic food, fish, oils. The chromatographic
techniques help in the use of volatile compounds analysis. The
isotope analysis helps in distinguishing between chicken meat and
vegetable oils. Ambient mass spectrometry is used for studying
mycotoxines and alkaloids in foodstuffs and their management, food
and feed authentication in olive and other plant oils, and wine.
Vibrational methods (e.g. NMR and NIRS) are used to trace food by
global spectrum. The book reviews the current and future techniques
including metabolomic techniques.
