The adulteration of different food products has become an issue recently in the more opened food market. The detection of the adulterants in different food products is not always an easy task as in many cases it is difficult to find specific markers of the adulterant or to simultaneously monitor many of those. However, in case of food products having well characterised constant quality the deviation in their chemical characteristic can be a good indicator of the adulteration. A relatively new analytical approach employing cross selective sensors simultaneously, known as electronic tongue can provide important information of the general chemical composition of food products by defining their fingerprint. The applicability of electronic tongue to detect different type of adulteration in various food product lines has to be further studied, which gives rise to new research.
