“…They comprise chemical and chromatographic methods as well as spectroscopic techniques, such as mass spectrometry (MS), ultraviolet-visible (UVVis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. In combination with chemometrics, they became powerful tools for quality control or determination of authenticity of food (Chou et al 2007;Coppa et al 2012;Cozzolino and Murray 2004;Kamal and Karoui 2015;Krist et al 2006;Lohumi et al 2015;López-Díez et al 2003;Lv et al 2014;Meza-Marquez et al 2010;Mohammed et al 2013;Poulli et al 2007;Rohman et al 2011;Salguero-Chaparro et al 2013;Šmejkalová and Piccolo 2010;Stanimirova et al 2010;Tu et al 2014;Zhang et al 2008; reviewed also in e.g. Reid et al 2006).…”

Electronic Nose as a Tool for Monitoring the Authenticity of Food. A Review

Counterfeiting of food is recently one of the risks relevant for producers, distributors, retailers, consumers, and national governments from economic (price), health (allergens), and religious reasons. Flavour of several food products is one of the key attributes of their quality and authenticity. In the case of some foods, the aroma of a product is specific enough to discriminate an original product from its fraud or adulterated counterpart. Electronic nose (e-nose) is a rapid and powerful technique, which requires no special sample preparation to determine the aroma of a product. In the present review, the applications of different e-noses and chemometrics for determination of food authenticity including adulteration and confirmation of origin are discussed. E-noses of various configurations are a very promising tool for testing the authenticity of food products.

“…In this study, three instrument settings were modified from a standard method in order to obtain a lower detection limit for K compared to other measurements from the literature [9,10]. The settings modified were: the sheath gas setting (G3), the entrance/exit slit openings, and the mode of signal integration.…”

A new method improving the detection limit for potassium in plutonium oxide samples in a high acid matrix was developed. Ultratrace detection limits (sub parts per million) for potassium in plutonium oxide digestate were achieved by optimizing several instrument parameters. Using the Horiba Jobin-Yvon Ultima 2 ICP-AES spectrometer different settings and conditions were examined to improve the detection limit for potassium. The optimized parameters of 0.875 L min -1 sheath gas flow, 20/80 lm entrance/exit slit, 8 s MAX mode signal integration, and blank subtraction were able to lower the potassium reporting limit to 10 ng mL -1 .

“…[10] They are complex groups of plant components that mainly consist of four or five condensed cyclohexane rings containing 27-30 carbon atoms. [34] Study [35] on the influence of the argan oil obtain method on the content of metals, such as copper, iron, chromium, and lead, revealed that the oil obtained by traditional methods contain the largest amounts of these metals. A few identified structures in crude argan oil include lupane, ursane and oleanane derivatives which include β-amyrin, butyrospermol, and tirucallol as major triterpenic alcohols and represent 27.3%, 18.1%, and 27.9% of the triterpenic fraction, respectively.…”

For the last few years there has been observed an interest and growing awareness of consumers regarding healthy diet, way of life, and body care. This leads to the design and creation of new products and cosmetic formulations with appropriate sensory characteristics and rheological properties, attractive in terms of nutritional values, and body care. Argan oil contains a high level of both oleic acid and linoleic acid, making it an excellent source of basic polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also, it is particularly rich in polyphenols and tocopherols that exhibit significant antioxidant activity. This paper presents a literature review of the properties of argan oil and their application. Argan oil is used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries and supports the treatment of many diseases. Practical Applications: This work presents a wide review and discussion of the literature on the issues related to the use of argan oil in cosmetology and cosmetics industry based on its properties. This review work can be helpful for the cosmetics and food industry in creating new cosmetic recipes and food products (e.g., special‐purpose products) using argan oil as a base raw material.
