Description
Food Authenticity and Traceability covers the most recent trends and important topics in food authentication, with an emphasis on the components of a food traceability systems. The book discusses techniques such as omics-based technologies, chromatographic methods, mass spectrometry, hyperspectral and chemical imaging, molecular and DNA-based techniques, chemometrics and data mining algorithms, high-throughput sequencing, and non-targeted fingerprinting approaches and proteomics.- Includes information on blockchain for food traceability analysis- Discusses consumer preferences and perceptions regarding food traceability drivers and food fraud- Presents approaches of authentication for food of animal origin and omics-based technologies
