This work presents an overview of the applicability of PCR-based capillary electrophoresis (CE) in food authentication and traceability of foods from animal origin. Analytical approaches for authenticating and tracing meat and meat products and fish and seafood products are discussed. Particular emphasis will be given to the usefulness of genotyping in food tracing by using CE-based genetic analyzers.

Fruit and fruit-based products are a valuable source of essential nutrients, critical for food security, and drive economic productivity with minimal inputs. The significant rise in global demand for high-quality imported fruit and fruit-based products reflects a shift in consumer awareness and interest in the products origin and potential health-promoting bioactive compounds. Analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, inductively coupled plasma techniques, isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, visible near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging (HSI), mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy, electronic nose (e-nose), and electronic tongue (e-tongue) coupled with supervised and unsupervised chemometrics can be employed for traceability, authentication, and bioactive profiling of fruit and fruit-based products.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized food science, offering unprecedented insights into microbial communities, food safety, fermentation, and product authenticity. NGS techniques, including metagenetics, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics, enable culture-independent pathogen detection, antimicrobial resistance surveillance, and detailed microbial profiling, significantly improving food safety monitoring and outbreak prevention. In food fermentation, NGS has enhanced our understanding of microbial interactions, flavor formation, and metabolic pathways, contributing to optimized starter cultures and improved product quality.

Accurate olive cultivar identification is critical for ensuring quality control and traceability in the olive oil industry. The International Olive Council (IOC) and the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) have established standardized protocols for varietal characterization. Over the past two decades, two-dimensional image analysis techniques have been increasingly employed for olive variety identification, utilizing various morphological parameters and machine learning approaches.

Licorice (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) is renowned for its nutritional properties and exhibits quality variation due to environmental differences across geographical origins. Conventional analytical methodologies, such as various liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques, often provide limited information or are expensive and complex. To address these challenges, a cost-effective approach has been developed using deep learning-enhanced multidimensional fingerprinting in this study.
