“…To differentiate milk samples according to species' origin, various chemical analytical techniques have been used from all the wellknown categories in food authentication (Medina, Perestrelo, Silva, Pereira, & Câmara, 2019), such as chromatographic, spectroscopic, mass spectrometry techniques, and electronic sensors. Moreover, chemometrics and spectroscopic techniques are widely used in food science nowadays (De Luca et al, 2019;Huang et al, 2020;Li, Li, Li, Liu, & Wang, 2019;Mabood et al, 2019;Sánchez-Rodríguez, Sánchez-López, Marinas, Urbano, & Caridad, 2019;Velázquez Ríos et al, 2019). A huge number of publications exists for discrimination of milk or cheese samples and they combine the spectroscopic technique FTIR (Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy) and chemometrics regarding species' origin (Cirak et al, 2018;Nicolaou et al, 2010;Pappas et al, 2008;Terouzi, Omari, Boutoial, & Oussama, 2016).…”
