Growing concerns about the quality and safety of herbs and spices among consumers have led to an increased demand for technical testing. Non-destructive analysis techniques have been studied and applied to overcome the limitations of single technologies and fully describe the characteristics of complex products. This review focuses on the application of multi-source and non-destructive information in quality authentication of herbs and spices, highlighting the use of vibration spectroscopy and electronic sensor technologies. The investigation provides clear evidence for the superiority of authentication methods based on multi-source and non-destructive information.
The growing concerns about the quality and safety of herbs and spices among consumers have increased the demand for technical testing. Recently, non-destructive analysis techniques have been widely studied and applied. Generally, a single technology has certain limitations, which are not enough to fully describe the characteristics of complex products (dynamic or complex structure). Combining non-destructive analysis tech-nology (multi-source information) can overcome the above problems. The present review focused on applying multi-source and non-destructive information on herbs and spices quality authentication, including vibration spectroscopy and electronic sensor technologies. Then summarized and analyzed the authentication process for issues such as adulteration, contents prediction, geographical traceability, process and products analysis, and identification variety. Additionally, we presented trends in quality authentication, discussed the challenges and prospects, and made recommendations. This investigation provided clear evidence for the superiority of the quality authentication methods for herbs and spices based on multi-source and non-destructive information.
