Resumen:
The use of chemical
fingerprints, namely: trace elements, isotopic patterns and secondary
metabolites is proposed as a way to verify both food provenance and risks
associated with food consumption. The presentation will address the use of chemical
fingerprints to assess food origin, either geographical or species, using
Argentinean foods (wheat, meat and wine) produced in different areas of the
country as examples. Additionally, the use of trace elements and isotopic
fingerprints is currently being developed to evaluate the association between
water pollution and edible fish. Results on this last topic include evaluation
of pollutants reaching water bodies from surrounding cities, industries, etc.,
which origin could be assessed using modern analytical tools: trace elements
and isotopic analysis. A discussion on the probable use of chemical
fingerprints to determine food safety, in relation to food production at either
clean or polluted areas will be presented.
