The development of analytical strategies to fight against food fraud is currently one of the most developing fields in food science as the food value chain becomes increasingly complex and global. Food can be certified by clear labeling but also by objective analytical methods. As shown recently by several groups, the omics technologies such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and isotopolomics are suitable to prove the geographical origin, the production or cultivation process, and the biological and the overall chemical identity of food. This article describes different analytical approaches beginning with non-targeted strategies as well as the further developmental stages of transferring the methods to routine laboratories.

“…Advanced scientific methods continue to be developed to support this, e.g. ambient mass spectrometry offers new possibilities for fast and accurate tests to underpin more sophisticated monitoring systems (Black, Chevalier & Elliott, 2016). Moreover, advances in areas such as proteomics and genomics which contribute significantly to understanding the molecular or biological components of meat quality offer new opportunities for providing quality assurance (Mullen, Stapleton, Corcoran, Hamill & White, 2006).…”

Beef quality attributes: A systematic review of consumer perspectives

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Informed by quality theory, this systematic literature review seeks to determine the relative importance of beef quality attributes from a consumer perspective, considering search, experience and credence quality attributes. While little change is anticipated in consumer ranking of search and experience attributes in the future, movement is expected in terms of ranking within the credence category and also in terms of the ranking of credence attributes overall. This highlights an opportunity for quality assurance schemes (QAS) to become more consumer focused through including a wider range of credence attributes. To capitalise on this opportunity, the meat industry should actively anticipate new relevant credence attributes and researchers need to develop new or better methods to measure them. This review attempts to identify the most relevant quality attributes in beef that may be considered in future iterations of QAS, to increase consumer satisfaction and, potentially, to increase returns to industry.

“…are known for their accuracy, broad applicability, and court admissibility [8,11,12], throughput is hindered by the required preparative steps and overall duty cycle. Ambient MS techniques [13,14], which increase sample throughput by forgoing extensive sample preparations, have shown proficiency in forensic chemical analysis [15][16][17], with recent reports involving the analysis of biofluids [18,19], explosives [20], adulterated foodstuffs [21], mind-altering plant-based evidence [22], and simultaneous molecular/elemental composition [23]. Specific techniques like desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) [24], direct analysis in real time (DART) [25], and paper spray ionization (PSI) [26,27] have shown utility in both trace and bulk drug evidence analysis, particularly in combatting the rise of Bdesigner drugs^evidence and accommodating associated paraphernalia [28].…”

Abstract. Forensic evidentiary backlogs are indicative of the growing need for costeffective, high-throughput instrumental methods. One such emerging technology that shows high promise in meeting this demand while also allowing on-site forensic investigation is portable mass spectrometric (MS) instrumentation, particularly that which enables the coupling to ambient ionization techniques. While the benefits of rapid, on-site screening of contraband can be anticipated, the inherent legal implications of field-collected data necessitates that the analytical performance of technology employed be commensurate with accepted techniques. To this end, comprehensive analytical validation studies are required before broad incorporation by forensic practitioners can be considered, and are the focus of this work. Pertinent performance characteristics such as throughput, selectivity, accuracy/precision, method robustness, and ruggedness have been investigated. Reliability in the form of false positive/negative response rates is also assessed, examining the effect of variables such as user training and experience level. To provide flexibility toward broad chemical evidence analysis, a suite of rapidly-interchangeable ion sources has been developed and characterized through the analysis of common illicit chemicals and emerging threats like substituted phenethylamines.
