“…A technique that offers several advantages for food authentication is high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR, which can be used for solid or semisolid food samples without using any solvent extractions and thus allows the analysis of samples in its natural state (Righi, Schenetti, & Mucci, 2008;Santos et al, 2015;Valentini et al, 2011). HR-MAS has been already used for the analysis of several food products such as cheese (Mazzei & Piccolo, 2012;Shintu & Caldarelli, 2006), meat (Ritota et al, 2012b), fish (Nestor et al, 2010;Villa, Castejón, Herraiz, & Herrera, 2013), and vegetables (Choze et al, 2013;Iglesias et al, 2014;Ritota, Marini, Sequi, & Valentini, 2010); however, it is still not a popular technique among food scientists, including those who work with NMR. This is mainly due to the challenges in obtaining high resolution spectra comparable to liquid state NMR and in limitations regarding high throughput analysis with HR-MAS.…”
