Abstract
In this contribution, the state of the art of NMR studies aiming to identify food adulterations and contaminations is reported. NMR spectroscopic techniques, from high resolution NMR coupled with chemometrics to low resolution and low field NMR techniques, have been widely applied to study food safety, traceability and authenticity. In this chapter, a brief overview of NMR methodologies, explicative examples and several applications concerning the detection of specific frauds in food and agricultural products is provided.
