“…An "Editorial" published by Iyengar in 2007 addressed differing perceptions of metrology in physics, chemistry, and biology [37]. Interesting results are also reported in a "Note" of Iyengar [33], previously described, and a "Note" by Koch et al [38] on measurement science for food and drug monographs in the perspective of a global system. Among the "Article" category, the paper of Koch and Ma [39] on the approach of interfacing chemical metrology with pharmaceutical and compendial science adopted by United States Pharmacopeia indicates another relevant area of interest for the metrological approach.…”

Great attention has been given in recent years to the relationships between metrology, agriculture, and food. This study aims at providing an analysis of the literature regarding the relationships between metrology, agriculture, and food. The Scopus online database has been used to extract bibliometric data throughout the search string: TITLE-ABS-KEY (Metrology* AND Agriculture* OR Food*), and the VOSviewer bibliometric software was used to visualize results as bubble maps. The novelty character of this perspective paper is to indicate and point out the main research themes/lines addressing the relationships between metrology, agriculture, and food by analyzing: (i) the authors of the published papers; (ii) the type of paper; (iii) the countries and institutions where the research is developed. Bibliometrics allows one to holistically examine entire scientific areas or sub-fields to get new qualitative and quantitative insights. These results represent a useful tool for identifying emerging research directions, collaboration networks, and suggestions for more in-depth literature searches.

“…Therefore, to ensure food safety through reliable measurements along the food chain it is necessary to use suitable metrological tools [92]. Metrology is a specialized discipline that deals with measurement science by improving the reliability and comparability of analytical results including also the definition of internationally accepted units of measurement and the metrological traceability [18,93]. Recently, Brown outlined the importance of updating the concept of metrology and proposed a new feature 'measuring measurement' emphasizing the characteristic and distinctive metathought associated with it [94].…”

“…The three main pillars on which metrology is based are validation of methods, estimation of measurement uncertainty and determination of metrological traceability [95]. Quality reference standards, validated methods, standardized sampling practices, proven calibration methods and reference materials are the tools used to achieve comparability of analytical results, allow metrological traceability and proficiency testing [93].…”

Food Safety Assessment: Overview of Metrological Issues and Regulatory Aspects in the European Union

The safety of the food we consume has a direct impact on individual and population health and affects the economic growth of the region where food security is practised and enhanced. The central goal of the European Commission’s Food Safety policy is to ensure a high level of protection of human health covering the whole supply chain. In recent years, great attention has been paid to food testing and the application of metrological tools to support food safety. The global food market and national and international food safety regulations have created a huge demand for the measurement traceability and comparability of analytical results that are independent of time or space boundaries. This review provides an overview of the European food safety policy and regulation, with a focus on the measurement-related elements of the European Union (EU) food law. It also highlights how the application of analytical techniques, with particular reference to separation approaches, and metrological tools can ensure the control of certain contaminants that nowadays represent the main challenges for food safety (e.g., mycotoxins, nanoparticles, emerging and process contaminants). METROFOOD-RI-Infrastructure for promoting metrology in food and nutrition is therefore described in this context. This European research infrastructure has been developed and is being implemented in the frame of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) to support metrology in food and nutrition and establish a strategy allowing reliable and comparable analytical measurements in food across the entire process line, from primary producers to consumers, and making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR).

Single point calibration for quantitative speciation of selenomethionine in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by HPLC-ICP-MS: using reliable, traceable and comparable measurements

et al. 2018

<p>The production of selenium and selenomethionine certified reference material in yeast (<em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>) and certification studies for its homogeneity, stability and characterization, have been accomplished before in our laboratory. Based on such results and experience of our laboratory in Metrology and according to literature, we discuss here the advantages and limitations of the calibration by “single point” as an alternative method to the classical calibration curve. The method traceability to the SI is checked in order to secure a robust determination. As the model analyte the mass fraction of the Se species selenomethionine is measured and compared in yeast samples. Results showed that a good agreement was obtained by both methods (the reference one of the calibration curve and “single point calibration”). This simple approach can be used for routine control of selenomethionine in commercial supplements of yeast samples, but the work carried out demonstrated its potential for the general routine quantitative analysis of the possible and important selenium species in other Se-enriched supplements commercialised in Latin America (i.e. mushrooms, garlic etc).</p>
