“…More recent attention has focused on the development of novel methodologies for tracking the spices/herbs supply chain. In particular, the last five years, ICP-MS has a dynamic appearance in the field of geographical origin authentication of spices and herbs [ 200 , 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 , 207 , 208 , 209 , 210 , 211 ]. Special attention has been paid to saffron due to its relatively high value.…”

“…Geographical discrimination was achieved based on the analysis of the most efficient variables which were: Li, B, Na, Ga, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Cs, Ba, Sm, and Hf. Perini and co-workers [ 206 ] worked on similar project by combining stable isotope ratio and multi-elemental analysis. The authors analyzed 67 saffron samples from Italy, Iran and Morocco succeeded the geographical discrimination based on the elements δ 13 C, δ 34 S, δ 15 N, δ 18 O, δ 2 H, K, Cr, Mn, Ni, Zn, Rb, Sr, Mo, Cs, Nd, Eu, Pb, and Ni.…”

Fraudulent practices are the first and foremost concern of food industry, with significant consequences in economy and human’s health. The increasing demand for food has led to food fraud by replacing, mixing, blending, and mislabeling products attempting to increase the profits of producers and companies. Consequently, there was the rise of a multidisciplinary field which encompasses a large number of analytical techniques aiming to trace and authenticate the origins of agricultural products, food and beverages. Among the analytical strategies have been developed for the authentication of geographical origin of foodstuff, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) increasingly dominates the field as a robust, accurate, and highly sensitive technique for determining the inorganic elements in food substances. Inorganic elements are well known for evaluating the nutritional composition of food products while it has been shown that they are considered as possible tracers for authenticating the geographical origin. This is based on the fact that the inorganic component of identical food type originating from different territories varies due to the diversity of matrix composition. The present systematic literature review focusing on gathering the research has been done up-to-date on authenticating the geographical origin of agricultural products and foods by utilizing the ICP-MS technique. The first part of the article is a tutorial about food safety/control and the fundaments of ICP-MS technique, while in the second part the total research review is discussed.

“…For a sample type not previously covered by these ASUs, Perini et al 185 measured 42 elements by ICP-MS and stable isotope analysis (δ 13 C, δ 15 N, δ 34 S, δ 2 H and δ 18 O) in 76 saffron samples from Morocco, Iran and Italy , produced between 2016 and 2019. Saffron has historically been a highly prized spice and, as such, production has expanded to many countries across the planet, away from the traditional growing areas of Turkey, Greece, Iran and Italy.…”

“…Stable isotope ratio analysis of light elements (C, N, S, O and H) has been widely used to investigate food authenticity. Examples are reported for wine (Dordevic et al, 2013), vinegar (Camin et al, 2013;Perini et al, 2014), orange juice (Simpkins et al, 1999), coffee (Santato et al, 2012), olive oil (Camin et al, 2010), cheese (Camin et al, 2012;Pianezze et al, 2020), saffron (Perini et al, 2020), tomatoes (Bontempo et al, 2020;Bontempo et al, 2011), honey (Bontempo et al, 2017), cereals (Asfaha et al, 2011) and also food supplements (Perini et al, 2017). It has also been recognised, since the 90s by several standardisation organizations (CEN, AOAC, OIV, EU Reg.)…”

Entomophagy, or the act of eating insects, has been practiced since ancient times, but it started to gain more popularity, especially in Western countries, only recently. As sustainability is one of the current emerging themes, the inclusion of insects in our diet is a valid alternative that might help reduce the amount of water and land used for livestock and the associated emissions of greenhouse gasses. Moreover, insects are a source of protein, fibres, vitamins, minerals and fats. Edible insects are considered a novel food, for which no isotopic reference values are yet available. In the present work, samples of farmed edible insects (n=40) belonging to different orders (namely, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata and Orthoptera) and insect-based food items (n=4) for human consumption were analysed. The following isotopes, δ13C, δ15N, δ34S, δ18O and δ2H of the defatted samples, together with the δ13C of the fat, were investigated. The aim of the work was to provide the first reference isotopic ratios that can be used for future investigations in the food quality field. The variability of these parameters was dependent on the life stage and diet of insects, their geographical origin, and the addition of ingredients as seasoning.
