“…The fingerprinting methods based on mineral element composition of food stuff have been largely adopted in the last years to trace the geographical origin of wine, olive oil, honey, cheese, coffee, vegetable, fruits, and spices (Danezis et al, 2016). One of the most popular techniques adopted for these analyses is the inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), which can be used for the determination of both the ionomic profile and the isotope ratios (Baxter et al, 1997; Rebolo et al, 2000; Wieser et al, 2001; Castiñeira et al, 2004; Coetzee et al, 2005; Šelih et al, 2014; Capici et al, 2015; Mimmo et al, 2015; Popescu et al, 2015; Scampicchio et al, 2016). …”

The determination of food geographical origin has been an important subject of study over the past decade, with an increasing number of analytical techniques being developed to determine the provenance of agricultural products. Agricultural soils can differ for the composition and the relative quantities of mineral nutrients and trace elements whose bioavailability depends on soil properties. Therefore, the ionome of fruits, vegetables and derived products can reflect the mineral composition of the growth substrate. Multi-elemental analysis has been successfully applied to trace the provenance of wines from different countries or different wine-producing regions. However, winemaking process and environmental and cultural conditions may affect a geographical fingerprint. In this article, we discuss the possibility of applying ionomics in wines classification on a local scale and also by exploiting grape berry analyses. In this regard, we present the ionomic profile of grapevine berries grown within an area of approximately 300 km2 and the subsequent application of chemometric methods for the assignment of their geographical origin. The best discrimination was obtained by using a dataset composed only of rare earth elements. Considering the experiences reported in the literature and our results, we concluded that sample representativeness and the application of a preliminary Principal Component Analysis, as pattern recognition techniques, might represent two necessary starting points for the geographical determination of the geographical origin of grape berries; therefore, on the basis of these observations we also include some recommendations to be considered for future application of these techniques for grape and wines classification.

“…Hence, the determination of δ 15 N-NO 3 and δ 18 O-NO 3 in water samples can provide meaningful insight for the identification of nitrate origins into water resources (Chang et al, 2002;Deutsch et al, 2006;Kaown et al, 2009;Kaushal et al, 2006;Mayer et al, 2002;Palau et al, 2010;Popescu et al, 2015;Urresti-Estala et al, 2015;Wankel et al, 2009;Wassenaar, 1995;Widory et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2014) and the assessment of beneficial biogeochemical processes undergoing in the subsurface (Aravena and Robertson, 1998;Battaglin et al, 2001;Baulch et al, 2011;Böttcher et al, 1990;Clague et al, 2015;Fukada et al, 2003;Itoh et al, 2011;Lehmann et al, 2004;Zhi et al, 2015).…”

The stable isotopes tracing technique provides an effective and unintrusive way to assess plant root water uptake patterns (Ehleringer and Dawson, 1992).…”
