The growing concern over food safety, driven by threats such as food contaminations and adulterations has prompted the adoption of advanced technologies like electronic nose (e-nose) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI), which are increasingly enhanced by...
Food fraud raises significant concerns to consumer health and economic integrity, with the adulteration of honey by sugary syrups representing one of the most prevalent forms of economically motivated adulteration. This study presents a novel framewo...
This paper investigates the use of machine learning techniques on hyperspectral images of pistachios to detect and classify different levels of aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxins are toxic compounds produced by moulds, posing health risks to consume...

In recent years, food fraud issues related to whey protein supplements have disrupted the market and caused significant concern among consumers. Conventional analytical methods such as HPLC and ion exchange chromatography are commonly used to detect ...
The accurate determination of mycotoxins in food samples is crucial to guarantee food safety and minimize their toxic effects on human and animal health. This study proposed the use of a support vector regression (SVR) predictive model improved by tw...
The chromite-asbestos mining leaves behind tonnes of toxic waste, contaminating nearby agricultural fields with potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Over time, wind and water erosion spread these pollutants, severely impacting the ecosystem, food chain...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Food safety is a fundamental challenge in public health and sustainable development, facing threats from microbial, chemical, and physical contamination. Innovative technologies improve our capacity to detect contamination early an...
