Abstract
This study is a systematic literature review of
geographical origin authentication by elemental analytical techniques. Authentication
and certification of geographic origin of agri-food products is a useful tool
toward the protection of the quality for products. The aim of this work was to
map the current state of research in the area of agricultural products and
food, identifying emerging fields to the geographical origin of products. The
article is divided in three parts. The first part of the article deals with the
analytical techniques applied in the food authentication. Special mention is
made to elemental analysis and multiple isotope ratio. The second section
focuses on statistically published data concerning published research for
geographical origin authentication for the period 2015–2019. Specific results
are presented inter alia: number of articles according to the type of product,
articles according to the type of the analytical techniques, and others. The
third part contains characteristic results from articles that were published in
the period 2015–2019, on certification of geographical origin on specific
agricultural products.

Abstract
The Court of Justice of the European Union
responded to a question referred by the Bundesgerichtshof
(Federal Court of Justice, Germany) declaring that the Article 1 of
Regulation No 583/2009 must be interpreted as meaning that the protection of
the name «Aceto Balsamico di Modena» does not extend to the use of the
individual non-geographical terms of that name.
