Each situation may be unique and requires a careful balancing of all factors. Continued research will be necessary to more fully understand the many factors affecting the composition of citrus products. One single, simple, inexpensive adulteration test may never be available. The current technology for adulteration detection can be applied, keeping in mind the statistical limitations of the selected parameters. With the current trends towards multiconstituent analyses and an increasing awareness of statistical interpretations, detection of adulteration should become more sensitive and accurate in the future.

It might be worth mentioning the importance of e-noses in wine analysis, as it shares common aspects with perfume analysis quality analysis by oenologists and panelhsts, degradation assays, adulteration detection, the common presence of relatively high percentages of ethanol, etc. However, this topic falls outside the scope of this book, which deals with cosmetic products.
