This webinar, sponsored by Agilent Technologies, explores how integrating diverse data sources including elemental and molecular spectroscopic fingerprints through to organic mass spectrometry profiles enhances food authenticity testing. It explains how different fusion strategies, from low- to high-level integration, are applied in real-world case studies, including determining the geographic origin of salmon and soy, and identifying varieties of premium teas. The session concludes with some thoughts about how the data fusion approach could overcome some of the very big authenticity challenges such as olive oil and honey analysis. The speaker is Prof Chris Elliot, of the Institute of Global Food Security, Belfast, UK
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the financial, political, and legal impacts of global food fraud on producers and consumers.
- Understand the strengths and limitations of molecular spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques in detecting food fraud.
- Learn how combining data from multiple techniques can push analytical certainty toward 100%.
