The globalisation of food markets and the relative ease with which food commodities are
transported through and between countries and continents, means that consumers are …

The relative potential of various technologies for the confirmation of food authenticity and
quality are discussed. Techniques that have found new applications in the field of quality …

Carbon stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C), measured in human bone collagen (δ 13 C collagen)
and bioapatite (δ 13 C bioapatite), are commonly used indicators in ancient human diet …

The main elemental constituents (H, C, N, O, and S) of bio‐organic material have different
stable isotopes (2H, 1H; 13C, 12C; 15N, 14N; 18O, 17O, 16O; 36S, 34S, 33S, and 32S) …

We review the literature on authentication of foods with Protected Designation of Origin
(PDO) from their trace-element composition or stable-isotope ratios in order to evaluate the …

Organic fertilizers have the capacity to alter the nitrogen isotopic composition of plants.
Camelid dung and seabird guano are two potentially important fertilizers in the agricultural …

The aim of this study as a part of the food traceability project “TRACE” funded by the EU was
to investigate if honeys produced in regions with different climatic and geological …

Organic beef coming principally from Germany was analysed for the hydrogen, carbon,
oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur stable isotopic composition to test the possibility of tracing back …

Beef samples originating from the major cattle producing regions of the world (Europe, USA,
South America, Australia and New Zealand) have been analysed using IRMS and ICP-MS …

The geographical origin of beef is of increasing interest to consumers and producers due to
“mad cow” disease and the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). In this study …
