- Abstract:
- The stable isotope ratios of the five bio elements carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur have frequently been used in the last few decades to determine the authenticity and traceability of many food commodities. In this paper, issues regarding calibration, suitable reference materials and correct methods to obtain reliable results with this potentially powerful technique are critically discussed and commented.
