SusanEbelerWebSusan Ebeler
Professor of Viticulture and Enology, UC Davis
Prof. Ebeler's research focuses on development and application of analytical chemistry techniques to study wine flavor chemistry; understanding physico-chemical interactions of flavors with nonvolatile wine components; and elucidation of the chemical mechanisms for observed health effects of wine and wine components.

Apple_TransparentThe food and beverage industries have been threatened by fraudulent activities including mislabelling, counterfeiting, substitution, and adulteration. Most of this fraud is committed to gain an economic advantage. 

Elemental profiling using ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and MP-AES has been proposed as an approach for geographic authentication of various foods and beverages. Using these approaches, we have demonstrated that the elemental profiles of coffee beans, wine, and whiskeys vary across a range of geographic scales (i.e., across different countries, and different regions within a country or state).

By attending this on-demand webinar you will learn:

  • how to use elemental profiles obtained using an ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and MP-AES coupled with statistical software like Mass Profiler Professional (MPP)
  • how to determine if the variance between samples is adequate to distinguish growing origin.
  • how to gain insights into how statistical profiling can provide insights into food authenticity or consistency.

This presentation is suitable for...

Lab managers and lab personnel interested in elemental analysis and using statistical tools to get more out of your elemental data.
