This book presents an overview of chemometric assessments of analytical dataset in order to determine the authenticity/adulteration of food, animal and plant origin, including meat, fish, seafood, milk and dairy products, honey, cereals and grains, olive oils and oilseeds, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, tea, coffee, cocoa, sugar, mineral and drinking water, and wines and other alcoholic beverages. The text uses modern analytical methods/techniques coupled with appropriate chemometric tools to demonstrate that chemometrics is a necessary and powerful tool for food analysis and its control. Another main concern is traceability, i.e. the possibility of verifying the geographical, animal/botanical and/or productive origin of a foodstuff; hence the use of chemometric techniques is not only recommended but essential. Since the food is characterized by a complex matrix, the strategy to study its elemental profile should be multivariate. The reported data are extensively tabulated and graphically presented. This book is useful for food chemists, quality control professionals, nutrition and public health educators, analytical chemists, food manufacturers, environmental scientists and students, and practicing professions in food chemistry and food safety.

He was awarded Full Professorship in January 2000. His research is focused on analytical chemistry, environmental analytics, trace analysis, food and marine chemistry and bioanalytics. During 1996-2002, he was Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, MUG. He was the head of the Department of Food Sciences, MUG. He has published 5 books with Elsevier Science B.V., CRC Press – Taylor & Francis, Marine Board, European Science Foundation, and Maralte BV.

He has published ca. 50 book chapters including 20 international ones (published by e.g. Springer, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis and Nova Science Publishers, Inc.), 370 papers and more than 300 symposia abstracts. He has been a member of more than 30 international and national research consortiums, expert panels, working groups as well as scientific associations and organizations (e.g. WG MB-ESF, SCOR, WGMS-ICES) as well as a member of 20 editorial boards of international journals (published by e.g. Elsevier, Springer-Versita, Taylor & Francis, Bentham). He has reviewed more than 2000 manuscripts for ca. 120 different journals, mainly with an international reputation.
