00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Carrillo Pérez, Celia author Tomasevic, Igor B. author Barba, Francisco J. author Kamiloglu, Senem author 2023-09 The health-related properties attributed to berries and the subsequent interest awakened within the market of functional foods mean that these small fruits may be potential targets for food fraud. In this review, studies on berry authentication through modern analytical techniques are discussed in detail. Most of the studies reported to date are related to chemical approaches, mainly chromatographic techniques. Other chemical (NMR, NIR, and Raman spectroscopy), biomolecular, and isotopic methods have also delivered promising results in the field of berry authentication, although there is still limited information available in this respect. Despite the potential of the methods described in the present review, to date, there is no universal one. Therefore, combinations of different approaches in order to complement each other are increasingly used (e.g., HPTLC and mass spectrometry; Raman and IR spectroscopies; biomolecular and analytical techniques…). Considering that adulteration practices are increasingly evolving, continuous research in the field of food authentication is needed, especially in the case of berries, since there are still some berry species that have not yet been included in any authentication study. https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11291 10.3390/chemosensors11090500 2227-9040 Berries Authenticity Geographical origin Fingerprinting Chemometrics Modern Analytical Techniques for Berry Authentication
