open data (2)

FAN has a searchable index of where to find databases (either analytical signals or compositional parameters) of authentic food.  These are used as reference benchmarks for analytical authenticity tests.

31078941872?profile=RESIZE_400xWe are in the process of updating this list.  As well as reference data sets for untargeted testing, which are typically held in-house by laboratories, we now include public datasets of benchmarked food composition; genetic data, lipid profiles, sugar profiles, aroma profiles, metals and minerals, composition of branded foods and many more.  If you know of a dataset that should be listed then we would love to hear from you.  Please contact secretary@foodauthenticity.global

The Food Authenticity Network (FAN) is undertaking a project on ‘Open Data’ funded by its Government Partners, which seeks to collate of list of organisations that have food authenticity datasets i.e. assessed foods or beverages against a reference database of authentic samples. This could be any analytical, physical or sensory testing technique, or combination of techniques, that matches against patterns of multivariate data.

We are interested to know about both proprietary in-house reference databases and uses of shared data sets. We would like to include both laboratories offering a current testing service and research groups and others who hold data from previous projects.

If you have, or use, reference datasets for an “authentic” food or beverage and are willing for this to be signposted on the FAN website then please contact: OpenData@foodauthenticity.global

Thank you
