| Abstract: |
Pound for pound, truffles are one of the most expensive foods you will find in the food marketplace. Their distinctive aroma means that they are used in many different recipes as a flavouring additive. The Alba white truffle — Tuber magnatum Pico — is one of the most valuable types of truffle. As with many foods, the food adulterers are never far away when there is a quick buck to be made. Analytical chemistry is one of the approaches that food producers turn to when they need to combat food adulteration. |
