ABSTRACT Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time RT-PCR assays have been used to detect and quantify actin mRNA from yeasts and molds. Universal primers were designed based on the available fungal actin sequences, and by RT-PCR they amplified a specific 353-bp fragment from fungal species involved in food spoilage. From experiments on heat-treated cells, actin mRNA was a good indicator of cell viability: viable cells and cells in a nonculturable state were detected, while no signal was observed from dead cells. The optimized RT-PCR assay was able to detect 10 CFU of fungi ml−1 in pure culture and 103 and 102 CFU ml−1 in artificially contaminated yogurts and pasteurized fruit-derived products, respectively. Real-time RT-PCR, performed on a range of spoiled commercial food products, validated the suitability of actin mRNA detection for the quantification of naturally contaminating fungi. The specificity and sensitivity of the procedure, combined with its speed, its reliability, and the potential automation of the technique, offer several advantages to routine analysis programs that assess the presence and viability of fungi in food commodities.

  The main current strategies (IPM, HACCP) to control pests in stored food products are based on critical thresholds derived from pest population density. These thresholds usually do not consider cumulative effects of earlier pest infestation although injuries caused by biotic pest organisms to stored food commodities are irreversible. We present conceptual and illustrative models showing that population size indices, in contrast to cumulative (population history) indices, could (i) underestimate critical thresholds if pest population can grow exponentially and (ii) provide incorrect information about the level of stored food damage if pest population density can fluctuate. The importance of entomological food microanalysis and continual “cumulative monitoring” based on trapping is discussed with respect to HACCP and IPM programmes in stored food products.

Intended Use

In the current conditions of the Ukrainian economy, the greatest attention should be paid to consumer protection, as consumers are the main participants in market relations. Thus, in accordance with the regulatory legal acts that contain provisions on the consumer rights protection and regulate trade activity in Ukraine, a list of proper quality commodities that are not subject to exchange (return) is approved. The legal acts regulating the relations between consumers of goods, works and services and producers and sellers of goods, work performers and service providers of various forms of ownership, as well as contain provisions on the protection of consumer rights and regulate trade activity in Ukraine were analyzed in this research paper. The problem that is dealt in this research paper is not covered enough because the greatest attention in the field of commodity examination is paid to the examination of the quality of goods and their compliance with regulatory acts, therefore, it requires more thorough research. The importance of introducing homogeneous approaches and conditions under which some categories of proper quality commodities, after their purchase by consumers for private use, lose investment attractiveness in the course of conducting forensic commodity examination. This research paper deals with the problems which forensic experts face when judicial authorities appoint commodity examination, in which it is necessary to establish the market value of such categories of goods as food products, medicines and hygiene products, as well as some non-food products of the proper quality which were purchased by consumers for private use. As a rule, at the time of examination, the above groups of goods are in a used condition. On the basis of the conducted research it is possible to summarize that non-exchangeable (returnable) goods of proper quality, after purchase by end users, have value only for the consumer of such products. Accordingly, these products lose market value due to the influence of subjective judgments of the consumer of goods of this category in the secondary market, even if the product has a short operation life in connection with the loss of some or all of the consumer properties as a result of its intended use. The solution to this situation is proposed through raising questions by investigating and judicial authorities to an expert in the course of conducting of a forensic commodity examination on determining the size of the material damage caused to the owner of the property as a result of the committed offense or damage to property.

One of the types ofgoods popular in recent years are the items products by means of which one decorates gardens, parks, buildings of public using, private territories, including houses both outside, and inside as sculptures, figurine, fountains, tile, balusters, fireplaces, landscape sculptures as elements of landscape design. Decorative stones - one of the materials from which these products are made. Unfortunately, in the reference and methodical literature which is used in the expert practice, there are no methodical recommendations on the determination of the cost of goods from a decorative stone. Therefore working out of an algorithm of determination of the cost of such goods for import on the customs territory of Ukraine and their market value will help objectively and reasonably to perform merchandising examinations. At the first stage of carrying out of such researches the expert should receive the certain list of the initial data about the goods. The basic commodity characteristics of the goods from a decorative stone are specified in the conclusion of State Gemmological Centre of Ukraine which should be requested by an expert from the body or the person which appointed examination. Market value of products from a decorative stone can be defined in several ways depending on the presence of the initial data, proposal in the market ofsimilar property, presence of the information on sale of similar products. Cost ofproducts is determined on the basis of the National standard № 1 provisions within the limits of the comparative approach taking into account replacement and supply and demand principles. If the expert doesn’t possess the data necessary for use of the comparative approach then the cost ofproducts can be determined by the calculation method. We offer to use the order of market value determination of the goods on the basis of certain components addition to the cost of the goods for import on the customs territory of Ukraine.

Execution of examinations to determine the market cost of the equipment that is used on Ukrainian nuclear power stations is quite complicated process, since this equipment is unique, manufactured to individual order. For today practical aspects of the specified property estimation, unfortunately, researchers were not properly shined. Considering expert practice at definition of market cost of the equipment used on Ukrainian atomic power stations, merchandising experts face the following problems as identification of research object, choice of research method, substantiation and choice of methodical approaches to an estimation of such property. Since the equipment is specific, its full-scale investigation should be carried out jointly with specialists of specialized enterprises for technical identification of the used property (description of the commodity nomenclature, packaging arrangement, real state). The methods used in performing this type of examination are both general and a separate method of commodity research. We recommended using the cost approach in calculating the market value, namely the application of the method of price actualization. The cost approach is mainly used at estimation if it is impossible to find object-analogue, there is no experience of realization of similar objects or the forecast of the future incomes not stable, the environment of estimated property realization very uncertain and success depends on a significant amount of factors. Therefore, in determining the market value of equipment used on Ukrainian atomic power stations, merchandising expert needs: conduct a full-scale investigation together with specialists from specialized enterprises for technical identification of the investigating property; use both general methods and a separate methods of commodity research; apply a cost approach to valuation, namely the method of price actualization and used price indices of industrial producers.

The authentication of food products is essential for food quality and safety. Authenticity assessments are important to ensure that the ingredients or contents of food products are legitimate and safe to consume. The metabolomics approach is an essential technique that can be utilized for authentication purposes. This study aimed to summarize food authentication through the metabolomics approach, to study the existing analytical methods, instruments, and statistical methods applied in food authentication, and to review some selected food commodities authenticated using metabolomics-based methods. Various databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, etc., were used to obtain previous research works relevant to the objectives. The review highlights the role of the metabolomics approach in food authenticity. The approach is technically implemented to ensure consumer protection through the strict inspection and enforcement of food labeling. Studies have shown that the study of metabolomics can ultimately detect adulterant(s) or ingredients that are added deliberately, thus compromising the authenticity or quality of food products. Overall, this review will provide information on the usefulness of metabolomics and the techniques associated with it in successful food authentication processes, which is currently a gap in research that can be further explored and improved.
