A comprehensive review of analytical techniques for spice quality and safety assessment in the modern food industry.
The rapid evolution of analytical techniques has revolutionized spice quality assessment, offering unprecedented opportunities for ensuring the safety, authenticity, and desirable characteristics of these valuable commodities. This review explores the innovative integration of advanced chromatographic, spectroscopic, sensory and molecular methods, combined with chemometrics and machine learning, to provide a comprehensive and standardized approach to spice analysis. The development of portable, rapid screening devices and the application of cutting-edge technologies, such as hyperspectral imaging, molecular and electronic sensory technologies, and their combined applications with other technologies are discussed in the review. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the importance of global collaboration and the shift toward non-targeted approaches to detect novel adulterants and contaminants. By adopting these innovative strategies, the modern food industry can effectively address the challenges of spice quality control, safeguarding consumer health and maintaining the integrity of these essential ingredients in the global culinary landscape.
期刊介绍：
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition serves as an authoritative outlet for critical perspectives on contemporary technology, food science, and human nutrition.
With a specific focus on issues of national significance, particularly for food scientists, nutritionists, and health professionals, the journal delves into nutrition, functional foods, food safety, and food science and technology. Research areas span diverse topics such as diet and disease, antioxidants, allergenicity, microbiological concerns, flavor chemistry, nutrient roles and bioavailability, pesticides, toxic chemicals and regulation, risk assessment, food safety, and emerging food products, ingredients, and technologies.
