“…The ever-increasing food frauds and the sophisticated manipulation of food items have encouraged researchers to develop new and advanced analytical methods for food authenticity testing [58]. Nowadays, there is a demand for fast, accurate and easy-to-use approaches aimed at enriching the paucity of information derived from classical analytical methods and tracing new contaminants and adulterating substances added in food items.…”

Authenticity and traceability of food products are of primary importance at all levels of the production process, from raw materials to finished products. Authentication is also a key aspect for accurate labeling of food, which is required to help consumers in selecting appropriate types of food products. With the aim of guaranteeing the authenticity of foods, various methodological approaches have been devised over the past years, mainly based on either targeted or untargeted analyses. In this review, a brief overview of current analytical methods tailored to authenticity studies, with special regard to fishery products, is provided. Focus is placed on untargeted methods that are attracting the interest of the analytical community thanks to their rapidity and high throughput; such methods enable a fast collection of "fingerprinting signals" referred to each authentic food, subsequently stored into large database for the construction of specific information repositories. In the present case, methods capable of detecting fish adulteration/substitution and involving sensory, physicochemical, DNA-based, chromatographic, and spectroscopic measurements, combined with chemometric tools, are illustrated and commented on.

“…The market sectors for fruit juices have been rapidly growing. Therefore, highly priced fruit juices have been targets for food adulteration and fraud [24]. Since the most frequent profit-procedures are simple dilution with water, the addition of sugar or cheap alternatives, a host of nontargeted high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics fingerprinting techniques coupled with chemometric analysis have been developed for the juice-type food authenticity testing [24].…”

Berry fruits have attracted attention because of their purported benefits for aging, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Therefore, highly priced berry fruits might be targets for food adulteration and fraud. In this study, eight speciesspecific primer sets based on the single nucleotide polymorphism of the chloroplast genomes of four berry fruits (aronia, blackberry, cranberry, and strawberry) were developed for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis by SYBR Green staining with the aim of preventing berry fruit food fraud. The developed primer pairs exhibited high efficiencies ranging from 88 to 110% with strong correlation coefficients (R 2 > 0.99) for the amplification of each target species. However, no clear correlation coefficients were evident for non-target species. To evaluate the practicality of the developed primers, 18 commercial berry fruit products were verified by qPCR analysis. The developed primer pairs were amplified to a low C t value (range 16.1-23.3) for the target species and proved capable of detecting target species in berry fruit commercial foods. Therefore, the developed qPCR-based species-specific markers could be suitable for the prevention of berry fruit food fraud and to verify marker reliability. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made.

“…3 Furthermore, this activity involves the use of a lower valued ingredient at the place of a higher valued one, consisting as a potential disrupting agent of the economy that stimulates the unfair market competition at regional and global levels. 4 From the consumers' point-of-view, although it is usually not directly associated to health risks, this may pose a threat to allergic population, in addition to go against some religious, social and life-style aspects. 5 In the light of the criminal nature of fraud, one must takes in account the factors that leads a company to commit this act in order to preserve the consumer's rights.…”

Food fraud is a criminal act that has continuously increased in the recent years and represents an important issue to consumers' confidence, which encompass economic, social, health and religious aspects. Electrochemical sensors are a promising category of analytical techniques for food authenticity assessment due to their low cost, simplicity/ easiness-to-perform, sensitivity and sensibility in comparison to other consolidated assays. Herein, a background on the transduction mechanisms of potentiometric, amperometric and impedimetric sensors is provided in addition to some current applications on the authentication of food products.
