Food Authentication and Traceability

Food Authenticity and Traceability covers the most recent trends and important topics in food authentication, with an emphasis on the components of a food traceability systems. The book discusses techniques such as omics-based technologies, chromatographic methods, mass spectrometry, hyperspectral and chemical imaging, molecular and DNA-based techniques, chemometrics and data mining algorithms, high-throughput sequencing, and non-targeted fingerprinting approaches and proteomics.

Includes information on blockchain for food traceability analysisDiscusses consumer preferences and perceptions regarding food traceability drivers and food fraudPresents approaches of authentication for food of animal origin and omics-based technologies
