Özet:

Traceability concept that is often discussed together with foodborne problem has been developed rapidly with technology and it is key position of safety and quality of food. As a result of globalization, food pro­duction and consumption locations become distant. Therefore, the importance of traceability work is increasing.  Origin of the food that the starting point of the food traceability is the first step of traceability. Determination of food origin are important in traceability as a key of food quality and safety. Food safety and traceability is impossible in food that could not be determined origin. The main aim of this study is investigate the method to determine the origin of the food. Origin detection means is considered as an important part of the food traceability. The methods used in order to determine the origin of the food is divided into as geographic-based and analytical methods. Geographic-based origin determination methods are evaluated in two subgroups as mineral isotope and GIS (Geographical Information System). Analytical and bio-based tools, DNA, enzymes, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and based on electrokinetic and separation were examined by making detailed literature search.
