“…The larger number of SPs ( n = 9; 39.1%) was published in the journal “Food Control.” All except one (95.7%) were published in journals with IF ranging from 2.340 to 6.652, the last observed in “Food Control” 2022 (Table 2). The weight of this journal in the dissemination of scientific contributions dealing with food authentication using molecular tools was already highlighted (Giusti et al., 2023; Luque & Donlan, 2019). Respect to the corresponding author/s affiliations, most of the SPs were produced in Italy ( n = 8; 34.8%), followed by China ( n = 5; 21.7%), and Germany ( n = 3; 13.0%).…”

“…The other countries (Austria, Brazil, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, and Switzerland) had one SP each (4.3%). Italy, already observed as the country producing most studies on DNA barcoding (Giusti et al, 2023), was also found to be the most interested in innovative sequencing techniques such as metabarcoding.

“…In this technique, after DNA extraction, specific DNA regions (barcodes) are amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with universal primers, sequenced and compared with a database of reference sequences for the taxonomic assignment. In food science, the DNA barcoding has been especially used for fish and seafood authentication (Fernandes et al., 2021; Giusti et al., 2023; Hellberg & Morrissey, 2011; Hellberg et al., 2016; Nehal et al., 2021) and, albeit in less extent, in meat (Galimberti et al., 2015; Hellberg et al., 2017; Nehal et al., 2021).…”

Food authentication using molecular techniques is of great importance to fight food fraud. Metabarcoding, based on the next‐generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, allowing large‐scale taxonomic identification of complex samples via massive parallel sequencing of fragments (called DNA barcodes) simultaneously, has become increasingly popular in many scientific fields. A systematic review to answer the question “Is the metabarcoding ripe enough to be applied to the authentication of foodstuff of animal origin?” is presented. The inclusion criteria were focused on the selection of scientific papers (SPs) only applying metabarcoding to foodstuff of animal origin collected on the market. The 23 included SPs were first analyzed with respect to the metabarcoding phases: library preparation (target genes, primer pairs, and fragment length), sequencing (NGS platforms), and final data analysis (bioinformatic pipelines). Given the importance of primer selection, the taxonomic coverage of the used primers was also evaluated. In addition, the SPs were scored based on the use of quality control measures (procedural blanks, positive controls, replicates, curated databases, and thresholds to filter the data). A lack of standardized protocols, especially with respect to the target barcode/s and the universal primer/s, and the infrequent application of the quality control measures, leads to answer that metabarcoding is not ripe enough for authenticating foodstuff of animal origin. However, the observed trend of the SP quality improvement over the years is encouraging. Concluding, a proper protocol standardization would allow a wider use of metabarcoding by both official and private laboratories, enabling this method to become the primary for the authentication of foodstuffs of animal origin.

“…A meta‐analysis can be defined as an approach that integrates data collected from individual studies to produce unique and credible results that enable highly informative and new conclusions to be drawn (Mousavi Khaneghah & Sant'Ana, 2020). Meta‐analysis is widely used in the medical field, but its application in food science is relatively recent; studies that were selected and published cover a wide range of topics as food safety (Nwaru et al ., 2014; Fakhri et al ., 2019; Machado Nardi et al ., 2020; Giusti et al ., 2023), food engineering (Blikra et al ., 2021; Lane et al ., 2021; Monteiro et al ., 2021; Abdelli et al ., 2022; Giusti et al ., 2023), and food microbiology (den Besten & Zwietering, 2012; Gomes et al ., 2021; Cavalcanti et al ., 2022; Zhang et al ., 2022).…”

SummaryHigh‐pressure processing (HPP) is a method of food preservation where food is processed under extremely high pressure, leading to the inhibition of bacteria and enzymes, and ensuring that food is safe for consumption. This meta‐analysis aims to assess the inactivation effects of HPP on the microbial counts in milk. Analyzes were performed using a comprehensive dataset containing 26 studies selected using specific criteria. Data were analyzed using a random effects model and results are presented as raw mean differences (RMD) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results showed that spore‐forming bacteria had the highest resistance to HPP, followed by Gram‐positive and then Gram‐negative bacteria. A temperature range of 25–55 °C for vegetative cells and 55–90 °C for spores, a pressure of 400–600 MPa, and increasing the treatment time further enhance the efficiency of microbial inactivation. The results showed that HPP has a significant impact on inactivation of microbial counts in milk.

Grouping groupers in the Mediterranean: Ecological baselines revealed by ancient proteins

Marine historical ecology provides a means to establish baselines to inform current fisheries management. Groupers (Epinephelidae) are key species for fisheries in the Mediterranean, which have been heavily overfished. Species abundance and distribution prior to the 20th century in the Mediterranean remains poorly known. To reconstruct the past biogeography of Mediterranean groupers, we investigated whether Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) can be used for identifying intra‐genus grouper bones to species level. We discovered 22 novel, species‐specific ZooMS biomarkers for groupers. Applying these biomarkers to Kinet Höyük, a Mediterranean archaeological site, demonstrated 4000 years of regional Epinephelus aeneus dominance and resiliency through millennia of fishing pressures, habitat degradation and climatic changes. Combining ZooMS identifications with catch size reconstructions revealed the Epinephelus aeneus capacity for growing 30 cm larger than hitherto documented, revising the maximum Total Length from 120 to 150 cm. Our results provide ecological baselines for a key Mediterranean fishery which could be leveraged to define and assess conservation targets.
