Special issue information:

Over the years, diverse analytical techniques and pillars of quality assurance with their unique advantages have been developed to ensure the food authenticity. In particular, isotopic methods have shown to be an effective tool to fight against misleading geographical origin, targeted and untargeted omics can acquire the chemical profile of the whole foodstuff sample in a really short time, PCR-powered bioassays have become the benchmark in species identification, spectral analyses are outstanding non-destructive methods in distinguishing adulterated foods. Besides, real-time rapid detection methods like electronic sensors (e-nose, e-tongue) and immunoassays and so on have been widely used to deal with adulteration in a cheap yet robust manner. Recently, substantial progress in the miniaturization of spectrometers and other sensing devices shed bright lights on point-of-need food analysis. Pillars of quality assurance against food fraud is also rapidly proceed. All of these advances should be collected timely and integrated to be a special issue. By sharing these novelties with industry risk-management systems, legislators, scholars and other potential readers, the development of accurate and powerful analysis, quality assurance against food fraud can be improved.

This special issue encourages the submissions under but not limited to the following potential topics about food authentication methods and quality assurance against food fraud: stable isotopic ratios/elements methods, targeted and untargeted omics (LC-MS, GC-MS, etc.), spectroscopic techniques (NIR, MIR, hyperspectral imaging, etc.), chem- and bio-sensors (e-nose, e-tongue, biosensor, etc.), PCR-powered bioassays, immunoassays, chemometrics/statistic methods and hand-held devices, and other related novel analytic methods and techniques for food authentication against food fraud.
