This review analyzes analytical techniques for food characterization and adulteration detection, focusing on methods like HPLC, GC-MS, and spectroscopy. It highlights chemometrics for data analysis and emerging analytical systems.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Food Science

Background:

  • The field of food analysis has seen a significant increase in publications, with approximately 150 reviews published between 1998-2000.
  • Numerous analytical techniques, food matrices, and chemical components are discussed in existing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a technique-by-technique overview of analytical methods used for food characterization.
  • To detail methods for detecting food adulteration using various analytical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Microscopic analysis
  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
  • Gas Chromatography (GC) coupled with Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
  • UV-visible spectrophotometry

  • Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) and its GC couplings
  • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
  • Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy (mid-IR)
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy

    • Main Results:

    • The review systematically presents the application of eight key analytical technique categories for food analysis.
    • Emphasis is placed on the chemometrical treatment of analytical data for effective food characterization and adulteration detection.
    • A brief overview of next-generation analytical systems integrating advanced techniques and software is provided.

    Conclusions:

    • The reviewed techniques offer robust capabilities for both characterizing food products and identifying adulterants.
