DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Armand J. Atanacio (ANSTO)\, Patricia  Gadd (ANSTO)\
 , Karthik Gopi (UNSW)\, Jagoda Crawford (ANSTO)\, Jesmond Sammut (UNSW)\, 
 Debashish Mazumder (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
 )\, Neil  Saintilan (Macquarie University)\n\nFood provenance is a global 
 concern due to rising instances of food fraud\, costing the global food in
 dustry over 50 billion USD per annum and leading to consumers getting lowe
 r quality produce. Seafood is a high value food product\, and the Australi
 an seafood industry is worth 4 billion AUD by 2023. Most Australian seafoo
 d is exported\, and complex supply chains can leave it susceptible to seaf
 ood fraud. Accurate and reliable methods of determining seafood provenance
  is necessary to deter fraud in the supply chain. While conventional techn
 iques can be used for determining seafood provenance\, there is no single 
 method that accurately determines both the geographic and production origi
 n of seafood.\n\nThis is where nuclear techniques can play a vital role\, 
 the ANSTO led seafood provenance consortium has partnered with university\
 , industry\, and government agencies to develop a method for determining s
 eafood provenance using iso-elemental fingerprinting. This work also highl
 ights the utilisation of ANSTO’s multi-platform analysis capabilities in
 cluding x-ray fluorescence through Itrax\, accelerator-based ion beam anal
 ysis and stable isotope analysis that allow provenance to be determined wi
 th >80% accuracy when combined with machine learning based models.\n\nThis
  research is expected to provide the industry and regulatory bodies with a
 n effective way of determining seafood provenance. Furthermore\, the iso-e
 lements fingerprints are unique to each grower and has the potential to be
  used as a tool to protect their brands. It also ensures that the Australi
 an export industry is protected and allow consumers to make informed decis
 ions when purchasing seafood.\n\nhttps://events.synchrotron.org.au/event/1
