Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue follows on from the extraordinary success of Volume I (https://mdpi.longhoe.net/journal/foods/special_issues/food_authenticity).
With the development of a globalized food market, food fraud has become a crucial issue across the world. The adulteration, substitution, and deliberate incorrect labeling of species and geographical origins of food are considered the main cases of food fraud. Some unscrupulous traders replace special local products with inferior or counterfeit products, substitute labeled food species with others, or extend the shelf life of food by using banned chemicals for economic profit, which can pose a great threat to human health.
Therefore, advanced analytical tools are needed as a means of scientific support against food fraud. Food authentication involves procedures to determine whether the product complies with its labeling, and whether it conforms to the legal standards and regulations that govern its consumption. The combination of appropriate techniques and statistical methods are considered to be powerful tools for identifying cases of food fraud.
This Special Issue aims to bring together the most recent research advances associated with the latest techniques and methods for identifying food fraud. We encourage the submission of original research articles, perspectives, opinion articles, and reviews that focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics: food fraud, stable isotopic ratios/elements, targeted and untargeted omics (LC-MS, GC-MS, etc.), spectroscopy (NIR, MIR, etc.), genetic analyses, AI technologies, and chemometrics/statistic methods.
