description

Abstract The state of the art analytical methodologies used to authenticate the origin and composition of foods will be presented in the frame of the protected designation of origin for European labels. The aforementioned labels guarantee the origin and good production practices in the elaboration of foods for human consumption. Target analytes and analytical procedures, together with the chemometric tools used to discriminate foods from different areas or production methods, will be presented and critically discussed. Examples of some of the most commonly evaluated foods in the scientific literature will be also included.
