Citrus fruits contain small pockets of liquid which burst upon contact releasing a jet of strong smelling oil into the air. The strong smell is designed to attract animals to the site to help to spread the seeds of the fruit as far as possible. Andrew Dickerson at the University of Central Florida has recorded the squirting motion using high speed cameras to try to understand the exact process of these 'micro-jets' of citrus oil.

In this e-learning series you will get an introduction to Isotope Fingerprints and will learn more about: What are Isotope Fingerprints? How can we detect an Isotope Fingerprint? Where can Isotope Fingerprints be applied? What are examples of applications of Isotope Fingerprints for food integrity, environmental forensics, criminal forensics, doping control etc.
