“…Concern is driven by public interest in food quality and safety (Danezis, Tsagkaris, Camin, Brusic, & Georgiou, ). The use of chemometrics with appropriate analytical techniques can identify adulteration of wines (Alañón, Pérez‐Coello, & Marina, ), honey (Wu et al., ), essential oils (Do, Hadji‐Minaglou, Antoniotti, & Fernandez, ), and many other high‐value products. Aside from food adulterations, chemometrics can be used to analyze data on soil toxicity (Peng et al., ), influences of climate on the nutritional value of foods (Obranović et al., ), and changes in functional properties as a consequence of processing (Bursać Kovačević et al., ; Herceg et al., ), just to mention few practical examples that will be discussed later.…”
