At the Recent Advances in Food Analysis (RAFA 2024) symposium, held in Prague from November 5–8, 2024, the TrΑΜS group earned the Best Poster Award among 430 entries.
Dimitrios A. Papelis, a PhD candidate at TrΑMS group, presented the award-winning poster titled:
“Confronting Food Fraud in a “Green” way: Development and Optimization of a Chromatography-free Methodology utilizing DART-HRMS for the Detection of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Adulteration” (Authors: Dimitrios A. Papelis, Sofia K. Drakopoulou, Eleni S. Nastou, Evagelos E. Gikas, Ilona Nordhorn, Carsten Baessmann, Nikolaos S. Thomaidis)
The poster showcased a cutting-edge methodology utilizing Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) coupled with Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (QTOF-MS) to assess the authenticity of extra virgin olive oil and detect adulteration. This innovative, chromatography-free approach aligns with the growing demand for reliable, versatile, and eco-friendly analytical solutions in food analysis.
