The use of mass spectrometry within foodomics has recently been reviewed, including applications such as safety evaluation of GM foods, traceability and origin of foods [ 5].
In particular, new technologies for the biomolecular appraisal of quality and origin (traceability) of food products will be welcomed by this journal.
The conducted research involves the development of a rapid headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME gas cHS-SPME gasy–time-of-flight mass spechromatography time-of-flighthat is utilized for the verifichromatography time-of-flight trachromatography time-of-flight
2D barcode not only can be used for the origin traceability of food and herbal medicine, but also can be used in tracking entire production progress.
In the second round, the experts discussed the necessity of traceability certificate to support origin declaration and the control of origin declaration in customs procedure.
In more recent works, the relation between origin and traceability emerges quite strongly (Leonetti et al., 2009; Chan-Halbrendt et al. 2010; Mane-Kapaj et al. 2010; Gázquez‐Abad and Sánchez‐Pérez 2009; Cicia et al. 2005; Menapace et al. 2008; Deselnicu et al. 2013; Gambaro et al. 2013).
The availability of a high number of genetic markers to guarantee adequate genetic support to releasing activities, through parental allocation and traceability of the hatchery of origin, become important in this context.
Since 2008, mussel products from that area have had a Protected Designation of Origin certifying quality and traceability within the standards of the EU seafood policy.
The labelling of the origin of meat and the traceability of the products will be high on the agenda at the EU ministers' meeting.
The coupling of three technologies, namely global positioning, bar coding, and hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) offer safety and protection of products in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries from acts of terrorism through the synchrony of traceability, commencing with ingredient products from their origin, through processing and delivery to the consumer.
