TLDR
In this article, an extensive overview on the authenticity assessment of oils and fats for food products and summarizes the principal techniques useful for this assessment are discussed. And the scope and limits of different analytical tools are discussed and compared.Abstract:
Authenticity is an important issue for the food industry due to legal compliance, economic reasons (right goods for the right price), guarantee of a constant well-defined quality, use of safe ingredients (no hazardous substitutes), and religious reasons (halal, kosher). This report gives an extensive overview on the authenticity assessment of oils and fats for food products and summarizes the principal techniques useful for this assessment. Scope and limits of different analytical tools are discussed.read more
