Summary: This study investigates the presence of hazardous, nutritional, and taste-contributing compounds in bay scallops with different shell colors during their growth. The findings show that changes in nutritional and taste-contributing compounds were more pronounced between months rather than shell color. Bay scallops had better taste in August and higher nutritional value in September and October. The golden shell color strain had higher nutritional value in October, while the purple shell color strain had better commercial value and taste.

Summary: In this study, authentication models for Changshan camellia oil were developed using fatty acid profiles and one-class classification methods. The results showed that the one-class classification models were more effective in differentiating Changshan from non-Changshan camellia oils and provided a reference strategy for the geographical origin identification of other high-value oils or foods.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the quality of extra-virgin olive oils imported from different countries into China. The results showed that approximately 71.8% of the oils did not meet the current standards. The main quality problems include oxidation, counterfeiting, and origin fraud. The study suggests that using chemometrics combined with critical quality attributes is an ideal way to control the quality of EVOO and protect consumers from fraud.

Summary: This paper reviews the methods to trace the geographical origin of cocoa beans and classify cocoa or chocolate based on specific quality attributes. The integration of instrumental and sensory attributes is important to establish robust geographical indications. There is a need for a more rapid and non-destructive analytical approach to modernize traditional traceability methods.

Summary: Hyperspectral imaging was used to determine the origin of chia seeds grown in Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia, with multiplicative scatter correction being the most effective data preprocessing method. Discriminative wavelengths associated with O-H bonds in water and C-H bonds of fat and fatty acids were identified. Differences in crude lipid content and fatty acid composition were found based on origin, with prediction accuracies for specific fatty acids.

Summary: This study explored the characteristic aroma flavor and its formation mechanism of old ducks. Significant differences in aroma flavor were found between young ducks and old ducks of different ages. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis identified characteristic flavor compounds in old ducks, and correlation analysis revealed the importance of unsaturated free fatty acids in the formation of the duck's flavor.

Summary: The research explored the effectiveness of different technologies in distinguishing the origin of milk from different geographical distances, and found that the combination of fatty acid and fatty acid-binding isotopes analysis was more advantageous in inter-provincial samples. Additionally, the discriminant distance was successfully reduced to 0.7 km.

Summary: This study compared the cormosphere microbiome of saffron in different geographical locations, identifying unique bacterial genera that can be used as markers for specific regions. The research suggests that location-specific bacterial communities can be used to develop microbial barcodes, but further study with data from other saffron-growing regions is needed for comprehensive understanding.

Summary: Tomatoes are an important source of health-promoting antioxidants, with seasonal consumption showing potential to improve or maintain antioxidant biomarkers and reduce oxidative stress. The protective effect of tomatoes against oxidative stress depends on their geographical origin, suggesting that in-season consumption may have health benefits by preventing oxidative stress.
