“…Regarding egg yolk, the 13 C isotopic fingerprints varied from −25.3 to −14.4‰ for samples obtained from rural regions, and between −23.7 and −15.9‰ for those from the industrial growing system. The obtained data showed that, in industrial farms, a combined diet, C3 and C4, was used, while hens from rural regions were fed by a higher proportion of corn in the central part of Romania, this feeding being a tradition not only for hens’ diet, but also for swine feeding regimes [ 8 ]. Two samples from the backyard rearing system, from the south-east part of Romania, proved a feeding regime exclusively based on C3 plants, having the most depleted 13 C values of yolk (−25.3‰).…”

“…The isotopic signature of animal products is influenced by the isotopic value of the water they drink and the plants they consume [ 6 ]. The corroboration of analytical results obtained by Isotope Ratios Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS), followed by statistical data treatment, could lead to precious data for tracing agricultural products’ geographical origin, and the relevant animal’s diet and growing regime [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

The present study investigated the isotopic and elemental profile (by IRMS and ICP–MS) of edible egg parts (29 egg whites and 29 yolks) mainly collected from Romania. In order to differentiate the egg white and yolk coming from different hen rearing systems (backyard and barn), Partial Least Square-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) models were developed. The models’ accuracies for the discrimination according to the hen growing system were 96% for egg white and 100% for egg yolk samples, respectively. Elements that proved to have the highest discrimination power for both egg white and yolk were the following: δ13C, Li, B, Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ba, La, Ce, and Pb. Nevertheless, the important compositional differentiation, in terms of essential mineral content, between the edible egg parts (egg white and egg yolk) were also pointed out. The estimated daily intake (EDI), the target hazard quotient (THQ) for Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Cd, Pb, and As, as well as the hazard index (HI) were used to assess non-carcinogenic human health risks from egg consumption. The obtained results showed no noticeable health risks related to egg consumption for humans from the point of view of the potentially toxic metals.

“…Due to their biological qualities, pigs represent one of the species majorly involved in meeting the population's meat needs, accounting for over 30% of world consumption. In Romania, pork is a traditional product, with a relatively constant consumption throughout the year, slightly higher during the Christmas period, with the annual mean consumption per capita being around 36 kg [2]. Pork represents about 45% of the total meat production in Romania, in 2022 reaching nearly 342,000 metric tons.…”

Pigs are a primary source of meat, accounting for over 30% of global consumption. Consumers’ preferences are determined by health considerations, paying more attention to foodstuffs quality, animal welfare, place of origin, and swine feeding regime, and being willing to pay a higher price for a product from a certain geographical region. In this study, the isotopic fingerprints (δ2H, δ18O, and δ13C) and 29 elements of loin pork meat samples were corroborated with chemometric methods to obtain the most important variables that could classify the samples’ geographical origin. δ2H and δ18O values ranged from −71.0 to −21.2‰, and from −9.3 to −2.8‰, respectively. The contents of macro- and micro-essential elements are presented in the following order: K > Na > Mg > Ca > Zn > Fe > Cu > Cr. The LDA model assigned in the initial classification showed 91.4% separation of samples, while for the cross-validation procedure, a percentage of 90% was obtained. δ2H, K, Rb, and Pd were identified as the most representative parameters to differentiate the pork meat samples coming from Romania vs. those from abroad. The mean values of metal concentrations were used to estimate the potential health risks associated with the consumption of pork meat The results showed that none of the analyzed metals (As, Cd, Sn, Pb, Cu, and Zn) pose a carcinogenic risk.

“…In terms of food supply chain traceability, current research studies mainly focus on solving the traceability problem in food trading; the role of physical technology, chemical technology, and biotechnology in food traceability was studied, including RFID technology, Internet tag traceability technology, isotope traceability technology, mineral element traceability technology. Some characteristics are discussed, including traceability, traceability in food manufacturing, advantages of chain traceability, and advantages and future trends of internal traceability in the production process, but the traceability process features of the complex supply chain of grain, oil, and food are still not yet solved [10][11][12][13]. Nowadays, the application of blockchain technology in the field of traceability of grain and oil quality and safety is increasing.…”

Gain and oil are important compounds in global food supplies, and ensuring the quality and safety of grains and oil is a critical issue in the food supply chain security. Data traceability is the key factor in quality and safety management. Currently, it is a big challenge to ensure the reliability of data and guarantee the efficient exchange of data in various highly heterogeneous systems. To address this challenge, we develop a reliable traceability model applied to the grain and oil industry. In this paper, we first analyze the characteristics of the whole chain traceability information flow, and then we propose the concept that the connector for blockchain and industrial internet is suitable for data traceability in the grain and oil industry. Based on this concept, a reliable traceability model of grain and oil quality and safety is constructed. Finally, a reliable traceability prototype system for wheat quality and safety was designed, and the system implementation of the model was validated. The overall advantage of the proposed model is that the traceability information is safe and credible, the interaction is concise and efficient, and the security and full-process traceability of cross-chain information interaction are guaranteed. This paper fills the gap in the application of research chain network in the field of grain and oil traceability. Reference to this model can also be used to implement and adjust the traceability system, which is adaptable to stakeholders in the grain and oil industry. The model and techniques in this paper not only demonstrate value in real-world applications but also inspire further research in the field.
