Abstract:
This study aimed to improve the traceability of rice-producing areas to address the increasing demand for accurate methods to confirm food quality and safety. Compound-specific δ13C of fatty acids, δ13C of starch and bulk of rice were measured. PCA, PLS-DA and VIP value analysis of the obtained data were performed to track the source of rice from the six regions. The PLS-DA model established with bulk δ13C, starch δ13C, and fatty acid δ13C, which clearly separated the rice from six regions. The VIP graph showed the value of starch, C18:0 and C18:2 δ13C values (VIP > 1) were important to distinguish the origin of rice. Also, according to loading plots the contribution of starch δ13C was the largest. The findings indicate that the introduction of starch δ13C improves the precision of rice traceability and provides an effective method for identifying rice origin.
