Abstract
Food quality control is an important area to address, as it directly impacts the health of the whole population. To evaluate the food authenticity and quality, the organoleptic feature of the food aroma is very important, such that the composition of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is unique in each aroma, providing a basis to predict the food quality. Different types of analytical approaches have been used to assess the VOC biomarkers and other parameters in the food. The conventional approaches are based on targeted analyses using chromatography and spectroscopies coupled with chemometrics, which are highly sensitive, selective, and accurate to predict food authenticity, ageing, and geographical origin. However, these methods require passive sampling, are expensive, time-consuming, and lack real-time measurements. Alternately, gas sensor-based devices, such as the electronic nose (e-nose), bring a potential solution for the existing limitations of conventional methods, offering a real-time and cheaper point-of-care analysis of food quality assessment. Currently, research advancement in this field involves mainly metal oxide semiconductor-based chemiresistive gas sensors, which are highly sensitive, partially selective, have a short response time, and utilize diverse pattern recognition methods for the classification and identification of biomarkers. Further research interests are emerging in the use of organic nanomaterials in e-noses, which are cheaper and operable at room temperature.

Abstract
The quality of packaged fruit juices is affected during their processing, packaging and storage that might cause deteriorative biological, chemical and physical alterations. Consumption of spoiled juices, either from biological or non-biological sources can pose a potential health hazard for the consumers. Sensitive and reliable methods are required to ensure the quality of fruit juices. Standard analytical methods such as chromatography, spectrophotometry, electrophoresis and titration, that require sophisticated equipment and expertise, are traditionally used to assess the quality of fruit juices. Using biosensors, that are simple, portable and rapid presents a promising alternative to the tedious analytical methods for the detection of various degradation and spoilage indicators formed in the packaged fruit juices. Here, we review the challenges in maintaining the quality of fruit juices and the recent developments in techniques and biosensors for quick analysis of fruit juice components.

Abstract
The safety of plant-based food with an herbal origin is a priority for producers and final consumers these days. The interest in the high biological value of the final food products enriched with herbal ingredients is rising. We focused on the study of physico-chemical composition and antioxidant activity of two kinds of grape juice with medicinal plant addition in our study. We used 2 varieties of grapes - Welschriesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, six species of medicinal plants - Calendula officinalis L., Ginkgo biloba, Thymus serpyllum, Matricaria recutita, Salvia officinalis L., and Mentha aquatica var. citrata in our experiment. There were14 samples prepared, two of them were control samples and 12 samples were treated with medicinal plants. We tested each of the selected parameters triplicate with an interval of one week. We evaluated the results statistically in 4 levels of significance p <0,01, p <0,001, p <0,0001 and p <0,00001. The content of fructose, glucose, dry matter, density, malic acid, pH, potential alcohol, total acids, and total sugars in the treated samples was significantly lower compared to the control sample, which was probably due to the degree of dilution of grape juice with extracts gained from medicinal plants. The antioxidant effect was demonstrably higher in the samples enriched with medicinal plants than in the control samples. The highest antioxidant effect was measured in the second test in the samples with the addition of Thymus serpyllum (80.93 % - white grape must, 82.33 % - blue grape must), Calendula officinalis L. (79.29 % - white grape must, 80.49 % - blue grape must) and Ginkgo biloba (79.10 % - white grape must, 83.3 % - blue grape must). Generally, we found out that the selected medicinal plants increase the biological quality of grape juice.

Abstract
The implementation of integrated analytical techniques to meet stringent requirements in the life sciences requires a well-developed analytical capacity. New technology in analytical equipment for the analysis of large and small molecules is continuously being developed. However, developing countries frequently struggle to keep pace with technological advancements. Hence, it is of utmost importance to better invest in optimizing existing and proven methodologies to tackle life-saving challenges in developing countries. In this regard, capillary electrophoresis is a promising candidate for solving multiple analytical problems compared to its chromatographic and spectroscopic counterparts due to its fast analytical response time and notable cost efficiency. In the following, we summarize various issues and opportunities for capillary electrophoresis to be the technique of choice for the unresolved bottlenecks in analytical equipment in developing countries for drug quality control. This perspective demonstrates that the ongoing quest for the design of new, impactful analytical techniques is a dynamic and rapidly developing research area and mentions some directions and opportunities that have arisen during the recent pandemic.

Abstract
A prototype dual-detection headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-MS-IMS) system was used for the analysis of the volatile profile of 47 Citrus juices including grapefruit, blood orange, and common sweet orange juices without requiring any sample pretreatment. Next to reduced measurement times, substance identification could be improved substantially in case of co-elution by considering the characteristic drift times and m/z ratios obtained by IMS and MS. To discriminate the volatile profiles of the different juice types, extensive data analysis was performed with both datasets, respectively. By principal component analysis (PCA), a distinct separation between grapefruit and orange juices was observed. While in the IMS data grapefruit juices not from fruit juice concentrate could be separated from grapefruit juices reconstituted from fruit juice concentrate, in the MS data, the blood orange juices could be differentiated from the orange juices. This observation leads to the assumption that the IMS and MS data contain different information about the composition of the volatile profile. Subsequently, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), support vector machines (SVM), and the k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) algorithm were applied to the PCA data as supervised classification methods. Best results were obtained by LDA after repeated cross-validation for both datasets, with an overall classification and prediction ability of 96.9 and 91.5% for the IMS data and 94.5 and 87.9% for the MS data, respectively, which confirms the results obtained by PCA. Additional data fusion could not generally improve the model prediction ability compared to the single data, but rather for certain juice classes. Consequently, depending on the juice class, the most suitable dataset should be considered for the prediction of the class membership. This volatilomic approach based on the dual detection by HS-GC-MS-IMS and machine learning tools represent a simple and promising alternative for future authenticity control of Citrus juices.

Profiles of Sugar and Organic Acid of Fruit Juices: A Comparative Study and Implication for Authentication. J FOOD QUALITY 2020.

Abstract
A comparison of sugar and organic acid profiles among different fruit juices (including apple, pear, peach, grape, sweet cherry, strawberry, and blueberry with various varieties) was performed to assess the possibility for authentication coupled with chemometrics. It was found that the distribution of each sugar and organic acid in juices showed some specific characteristics related to fruit species, despite the fact that great differences in the content existed among different varieties. Sucrose was the most abundant sugar in peach juice, accounting for 58.26–77.11% of the total sugar content. However, in grape, blueberry, and sweet cherry juice, glucose and fructose were the predominant sugars. Pear juice contained the highest level of sorbitol, which contributed to 15.02–43.07% of the total sugar content. Tartaric acid was detected only in grape juice among the seven species of fruit juice, with a proportion of 57.95–89.68% in the total acid content. Malic acid was the predominant organic acid in apple and sweet cherry juice, accounting for 69.92–88.30% and 97.51–98.73% of the total acid content of each species. Citric acid was the predominant organic acid in strawberry and blueberry juice, which contributed to 62.39–83.73% and 73.36–89.56% of the total acid content of each species. With the aid of principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), the juice samples could be successfully classified according to fruit species by using the sugar and/or organic acid composition as analytical data. Combination of sugar and organic acid composition gave the best differentiation of these seven species of juices, with a 100% correct classification rate for both the original and the cross-validation method in LDA. Adding malic/citric into the dataset of the organic acid content may also improve the differentiation effect. Furthermore, the adulteration of sweet cherry juice, blueberry juice, raspberry juice, and grape juice with apple juice, pear juice, or peach juice could also be distinguished from their corresponding pure juices based on sugar and organic acid composition by LDA.

Abstract
Food fraud, being the act of intentional adulteration of food for financial advantage, has vexed the consumers and the food industry throughout history. According to the European Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, fruit juices are included in the top 10 food products that are most at risk of food fraud. Therefore, reliable, efficient, sensitive and cost-effective analytical methodologies need to be developed continuously to guarantee fruit juice quality and safety. This review covers the latest advances in the past ten years concerning the targeted and non-targeted methodologies that have been developed to assure fruit juice authenticity and to preclude adulteration. Emphasis is placed on the use of hyphenated techniques and on the constantly-growing role of MS-based metabolomics in fruit juice quality control area.
