Distinguishing oil samples from each other is challenging but it is crucial for ensuring food quality, and for detecting and preventing the possible adulteration of these products. Lipidomic profiling is believed to provide sufficient information to get fit-to-purpose confidence of oil identification as well as to deliver oil-specific lipid features which could be used as targets for routine authenticity testing of camelina, flax, and hemp oil in food control laboratories. Conducted di- and triacylglycerol profiling by LC/Q-TOFMS yielded successful differentiation of the oils. A marker panel consisting of 27 lipids (both DAGs and TAGs) useful for quality verification and authenticity assurance of the oils was established. Moreover, sunflower, rapeseed, and soybean oils were analysed as potential adulterants. We identified 6 lipid markers (DAGs 34:6, 35:2, 40:1, 40:2, 42:2, and TAG 63:1) which can be used for revealing the adulteration of camelina, hemp, and flax seed oils with these oils.

This study presents a blockchain-based traceability system designed specifically for the olive oil supply chain, addressing key challenges in transparency, quality assurance, and fraud prevention. The system integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with a decentralized blockchain framework to provide real-time monitoring of critical quality metrics. A practical web application, linked to the Ethereum blockchain, enables stakeholders to track each stage of the supply chain via tamper-proof records.

This study tackled mislabeling fraud in vegetable oils, driven by price disparities and profit motives, by developing an approach combining desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) with a shallow convolutional neural network (SCNN). The method was designed to characterize lipids and distinguish between nine vegetable oils: corn, soybean, peanut, sesame, rice bran, sunflower, camellia, olive, and walnut oils. The optimized DESI-MS method enhanced the ionization of non-polar glycerides and detected ion adducts like [TG + Na], [TG + NH].

The authenticity of halal meat is a global issue because pork adulteration occurs. Certain religions, such as Islam and Judaism, prohibit the use of pork in food products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the volume of trypsin with 10, 50 and 100 μL (20 μg/100 μL) and the digestion time from overnight to 30-120 min to establish a fast and straightforward procedure on proteomic analysis for halal authentication of meat and meat products.

The widely used SPICES framework focused on curriculum development. The Assessment PROFILE serves a similar purpose for current trends in assessment. A school has to decide where it wishes to lie on each of the continua: a programme-focused approach with decisions based on evidence collected from a number of sources; authentic assessment based on assessment in the 'real world'; outcome-/competency-based assessment; assessment learning; assessment with an impact; learner engagement; and quality assurance and evaluation of the assessment.

- The World Health Assembly set six global nutrition targets (GNTs) in 2012 to improve maternal and child health, but there has been no comprehensive report detailing progress from 2012 to 2021.
- A study evaluated the prevalence and impact of these nutrition targets across 204 countries using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 and projected future trends up to 2050.
- By 2021, only a few countries met some GNTs; most showed increased child overweight and notable decreases in female anaemia, highlighting a connection between societal development status and nutritional challenges.
