DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Karthik Gopi (UNSW)\nFood provenance is a global con
 cern due to rising instances of food fraud\, costing the global food indus
 try over 50 billion USD per annum and leading to consumers getting lower q
 uality produce. Seafood is a high value food product\, and the Australian 
 seafood industry is worth 4 billion AUD by 2023. Most Australian seafood i
 s exported\, and complex supply chains can leave it susceptible to seafood
  fraud. Accurate and reliable methods of determining seafood provenance is
  necessary to deter fraud in the supply chain. While conventional techniqu
 es can be used for determining seafood provenance\, there is no single met
 hod that accurately determines both the geographic and production origin o
 f seafood.\n\nThis is where nuclear techniques can play a vital role\, the
  ANSTO led seafood provenance consortium has partnered with university\, i
 ndustry\, and government agencies to develop a method for determining seaf
 ood provenance using iso-elemental fingerprinting. This work also highligh
 ts the utilisation of ANSTO’s multi-platform analysis capabilities inclu
 ding x-ray fluorescence through Itrax\, accelerator-based ion beam analysi
 s and stable isotope analysis that allow provenance to be determined with 
 >80% accuracy when combined with machine learning based models.\n\nThis re
 search is expected to provide the industry and regulatory bodies with an e
 ffective way of determining seafood provenance. Furthermore\, the iso-elem
 ents fingerprints are unique to each grower and has the potential to be us
 ed as a tool to protect their brands. It also ensures that the Australian 
 export industry is protected and allow consumers to make informed decision
 s when purchasing seafood.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/14
