Abstract
Interest in the origin and traceability of agri-food products has led to an increasing number of publications using strontium isotope ratios as a geographic tracer. We used 87Sr/86Sr isotope systematics to authenticate the provenance of wine from different volcanic districts of Italy. Samples of soil, grapes, leaves and bottled wines from 6 different wineries were analysed. A detailed study of the different soil horizons from the Somma-Vesuvio area demonstrates the relationship between the 87Sr/86Sr of the soils and the different parts of the grapevine (root, steam, grape, grape pulp, grape seed, grape skin), and the soil characteristics (soil type, granulometry, root density) that control the 87Sr/86Sr of the end-products. Results showed that the geological characteristics of volcanic terranes of Italy, and in particular the northwest to southeast 87Sr/86Sr gradient, are inherited by the wines of each region, such that the wines can be discriminated and authenticated by their isotope ratios.
期刊介绍:
Food Control is an international journal that provides essential information for those involved in food safety and process control.
Food Control covers the below areas that relate to food process control or to food safety of human foods:
• Microbial food safety and antimicrobial systems
• Mycotoxins
• Hazard analysis, HACCP and food safety objectives
• Risk assessment, including microbial and chemical hazards
• Quality assurance
• Good manufacturing practices
• Food process systems design and control
• Food Packaging technology and materials in contact with foods
• Rapid methods of analysis and detection, including sensor technology
• Codes of practice, legislation and international harmonization
• Consumer issues
• Education, training and research needs.
The scope of Food Control is comprehensive and includes original research papers, authoritative reviews, short communications, comment articles that report on new developments in food control, and position papers.
