Evaluating the Use of a Similarity Index (SI) Combined with near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy as Method in Meat Species Authenticity

Daniel Cozzolino et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of a hand-held near infrared spectrophotometer and a similarity index (SI) method to identify meat samples from different animal species. Lamb, emu, camel, and beef samples obtained from a commercial abattoir were analyzed using the spectrophotometer. The results indicated that the combination of SI and NIR spectroscopy can distinguish meat samples from different species. This method has potential for improvement in the meat and food industries due to its rapidity, portability, affordability, and user-friendly nature.

Saponification Value of Fats and Oils as Determined from 1H-NMR Data: The Case of Dairy Fats

Mihaela Ivanova et al.

Summary: The saponification value of fats and oils, reflecting the mean molecular weight of triacylglycerols, can be calculated using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1-NMR) spectra. Compared to conventional techniques, the H-1-NMR-based method is a convenient and rapid alternative for determining saponification values.

Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction Followed by HS-SPME for the Determination of Flavor Enhancers in Seafood Using GC-MS

Xiaolin Luo et al.

Summary: The determination of flavor compounds in food systems, especially solid samples, can be interfered with by complex food matrices. In this study, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) was applied prior to headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) to reduce the matrix effect in solid seafood samples. The developed method showed high sensitivity, excellent linear relationship, and good recovery rate, and was able to detect maltol and ethyl maltol in selected seafood samples. DLLME coupled with HS-SPME effectively removed the influence of sample matrix and improved the sensitivity of the method.

Predicting Satiety from the Analysis of Human Saliva Using Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy Combined with Chemometrics

Dongdong Ni et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the use of mid-infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics in analyzing unstimulated saliva to predict satiety in healthy participants, as well as explore the relationship between saliva features and individual perceptions of human-food interactions. Although the robustness of predicting satiety using unstimulated saliva was not strong, the study found differences in MIR spectra of saliva between low and high satiety groups and demonstrated the potential use of this method in identifying perception types and selecting participants for appetite studies. Furthermore, the study suggests that MIR spectroscopy could be a rapid and cost-effective tool for evaluating human-food interactions.

The Elemental Fingerprints of Different Types of Whisky as Determined by ICP-OES and ICP-MS Techniques in Relation to Their Type, Age, and Origin

Magdalena Gajek et al.

Summary: A total of 170 whisky samples from 11 countries were analyzed for their elemental profiles. Copper was found to be an element that distinguished single malt and blended types of whisky, with higher concentrations in single malt Scotch whisky. Samples from the same brands but different bottles showed common elemental profiles. Additionally, the content of copper and manganese increased with longer aging time of Scotch whisky.

Characterisation and Identification of Individual Intact Goat Muscle Samples (Capra sp.) Using a Portable Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Chemometrics

Louwrens C. Hoffman et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of using a portable NIR instrument and chemometrics to identify and classify individual goat muscle samples. The results showed that NIR spectroscopy, combined with linear discriminant analysis, could accurately classify different goat muscles based on differences in their NIR spectra at specific wavelengths.

Assessment of the Authenticity of Whisky Samples Based on the Multi-Elemental and Multivariate Analysis

Magdalena Gajek et al.

Summary: The study analyzed 205 samples of whisky to distinguish between authentic and fake products based on their elemental profiles. Elements such as Mn, K, P, and S were identified as key markers for detecting whisky adulteration related to the aging process. Fake samples showed significantly lower levels of manganese, potassium, and phosphorus, while sulfur levels were higher compared to authentic samples.
