Booklet on Food analysis by fingerprinting techniques
This booklet has been written within the TRACE project (FP6-2003-FOOD-2-A, contract number: 0060942). The aim of this project was the development of reliable traceability methods and systems to establish the origin or mode of production of food products. In particular, the workpackage 2 has developed fingerprinting and profiling methods to characterise a number of foodstuffs- chicken, honey, olive oil and beer. A brief description of the fingerprinting techniques together with the most interesting results for these foodstuffs are reported. The possibilities for their deployment to other authenticity issues in a wide-range of foods are discussed. This booklet is available in 3 languages:
