Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance technique has been applied for the origin assignment and to verify the geographical origin and cultivation agriculture regime of vegetables that are today important parameters for consumers when selecting the foodstuff. 1H- and 13C-NMR profiling to differentiate vegetables in terms of origin, vintage and declared organic practices is discussed in this work. Data interpretation demonstrated the efficacy of 1H/13C-NMR together with chemometrics in achieving reliable information for traceability of origin. Important peaks from the 1H-NMR profile for differentiation (p-value
