标明“英国”出产的优质牛排其实产自澳大利亚,高价人手的“法国”佳酿实则源于美国加州某个无名葡萄园……通过隐瞒或假报产品信息等方式,无良食品商以次充好,抬高产品价格,欺骗消费者。为了对付黑心商贩,打击食品造假,英国、新西兰等国的科学家运用基因鉴定、分子生物学、核磁共振等技术,像法医协助破案一样,鉴别食品真伪。食品侦探彼得·贝里·奥塔韦是英国食品科学技术研究所一名专家。为了鉴定一种售价昂贵的鲟鱼肝油是否纯正,他按照商品标签上所写产地,前往北极。他要寻获这种鲟鱼以及它们赖以为生的浮游生物,完成一系列鉴定试验。 In fact, the “French” wines produced in Australia, which were produced in Australia, were labeled as “unnamed vineyards” in California. By unscrupulously or falsely reporting product information, unscrupulous food merchants Shoddy, raise product prices, deceive consumers. In order to deal with black-hearted traders and crack down on counterfeiting food, scientists in Britain, New Zealand and other countries use such techniques as gene identification, molecular biology and nuclear magnetic resonance to identify the authenticity of food, just as the forensic doctors helped to solve the case. Food Detective Peter Berry Otaway is an expert at the British Institute of Food Science and Technology. In order to identify whether or not an expensive sturgeon liver oil is pure, he goes to the North Pole according to the place of origin on the label. He wants to find such sturgeons and the plankton they live on, completing a series of qualification tests.
