DNA-based methods for Seafood Authentication – Seminar A SEATRACES-Workshop 11th July 2023 Hamburg/Germany The control of seafood authenticity is an important prerequisite to combat illegal fishing, consumer deception and food fraud. In order to examine the correctness of seafood labels and test their accordance with the European regulations, DNA-based methods are commonly applied by control…
SEATRACES PUBLICATION Bárbara Teixeira, Helena Vieira, Sandra Marins and Rogério Mendes IPMA researchers, Bárbara Teixeira, Helena Vieira, Sandra Martins and Rogério Mendes, recently published an article in the scientific journal Foods addressing the development of a rapid and nondestructive method for the detection of water addition in two octopus species (Octopus vulgaris and Eledone cirrhosa)…
SEATRACES PUBLICATION S. Nieto-Ortega, Á. Melado-Herreros, I. Olabarrieta, G. Foti, G. Ramilo-Fernández, C. G. Sotelo, B. Teixeira, A. Velasco, and R. Mendes Abstract: A handheld near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy device, with a wavelength range from 900 nm to 1650 nm and coupled with two Partial Least-Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) models, has been used to demonstrate…
SEATRACES PUBLICATION Ane del Rio-Lavín, Jan Weber, Joachim Molkentin, Elisa Jiménez, Iraide Artetxe-Arrate, Miguel Ángel Pardo Abstract: Determining the geographical origin of seafood is crucial for regulators and fishing industries who seek to prevent commercial fraud, enforce food safety regulations and ensure high standards in sustainable fisheries management. Hence, we have investigated the potential of…
SEATRACES PUBLICATION Bárbara Teixeira, Helena Vieira, Sandra Martins and Rogério Mendes Bárbara Teixeira, Helena Vieira, Sandra Martins and Rogério Mendes, IPMA researchers, recently published a paper in Foods on the Quantitation of Water Addition in Octopus Using Time Domain Reflectometry. This study aimed to develop a rapid and non-destructive method to control abusive water addition…
SEATRACES PUBLICATION Ángela Melado-Herreros, Sonia Nieto-Ortega, Idoia Olabarrieta, Graciela Ramilo-Fernández, Carmen G. Sotelo, Bárbara Teixeira, Amaya Velasco, Rogério Mendes Abstract: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and time domain reflectometry (TDR) were compared as non-destructive techniques, coupled with a classifier based on partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), to assess added water detection in…
Technology centre AZTI has participated in the development of a new genetic method to guarantee the origin of mussels. The study aims to fight fraud and raise consumer awareness of the importance of labelling and traceability of fish products. The techniques developed have been carried out within the framework of the European project SEATRACES, financed…
