Several approaches to assess the authenticity of food products have been developed, given that fraudulent products may impact consumers' confidence, affect commercial trades and lead to health risks. This paper proposes an approach to identify the chemical elements that optimally discriminate rice samples according to their producing region in the South of Brazil, the largest rice producer outside Asia. A combinatorial procedure on the concentration of 26 elements determined using inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and liquid chromatography hyphenated with ICP-MS from 640 rice samples was coupled with Support Vector Machine. The assessed elements included nonmetal and metal elements of 3 types of rice collected from 5 rice-producing regions. The framework selected Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Mo, Cd, Cs, As, Rb, Se, and iAs as the most informative elements for tracking samples’ origin. The concentration of such elements is strongly affected by fertilization procedures and soil composition.
