Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) spectroscopy is a promising non-invasive and non-destructive analytical technique in food science, since it offers the opportunity of studying vegetables and fruits in their wholeness without any manipulation. The aim of this preliminary study was to demonstrate the possibility of assessing unambiguously the place of origin of fresh cherry tomatoes by means of MRI experiments. The innovative approach has been successfully used to distinguish PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) cherry tomatoes from non-PGI ones, as well as cv. Naomi from cv. Shiren samples. The method determines informative physical and morphological parameters, transverse relaxation times and thicknesses, respectively, which can be combined into four empirical equations; two of them are used to determine the cultivated variety and the other two to assess the place of origin. This approach has successfully recognize the cultivated variety of c. 90% of the analyzed samples and the geographical origin of c. 80% of the investigated cherry tomatoes.
