NMR metabolomics in food authentication

Consonni R., Cagliani L. R.

Abstract

NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) represents the elective technique for structure elucidation of molecules and is particularly suited to analyze complex mixtures like foods. NMR provides the identification of a wide range of chemical compounds simultaneously, revealing potential markers or disclosing sophisticated frauds. The great economic values of high quality or guaranteed foods demands highly refined characterization tools. In this context metabolomics represents a privileged approach for modern analytical studies in the next decades.
