Advantages of Adulterant Screen for Detection of Olive Oil Adulteration by Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) FT-Ir
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is a premium product that can command a higher price than “standard” olive oils. This makes it highly susceptible to fraudulent activity. A report by the E.U. Committee on the Environment, Public Health, and Food Safety says olive oil is among the products most prone to food fraud. There were 267 oil adulteration incidents reported to the U.S. Pharmaceutical Food Fraud Database, with the vast majority occurring over the past three years.

Prediction of oil content in olive fruit using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy FT-IR coupled with partial least squares regression
A rapid Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopic is applied to predict the quantity of oil in fresh olive in tree. The analytical method is evaluated by use of validation samples with nearly quantitative oil. 80 samples of olives in oil content, which varies between 8 and 21%, picked up in the Moroccan region, were subjected to infrared analysis. Ana...
متن کاملATR-IR fingerprinting as a powerful method for identification of traditional medicine samples: a report of 20 herbal patterns
Background and objectives: Attenuated total reflectance-inferared (ATR-IR) spectra can be used as a non-invasive fingerprinting approach in quality control of herbal samples. Methods: Twenty versatile herbal samples were subjected to attenuated total reflectance-inferared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy followed by different clustering methods in order to determine by which method more reasonable classif...
متن کاملComparison of diffuse-reflectance absorbance and attenuated total reflectance FT-IR for the discrimination of bacteria.
A collection of bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus were analysed by diffuse reflectance absorbance and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy in the mid-infrared. The diffuse reflectance absorbance method is a rapid whole organism fingerprinting method, which generates a biochemical profile of the bacteria, where samples are presented to the FT-IR spe...
متن کاملCharacterization and quantitation of aprepitant drug substance polymorphs by attenuated total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
In this study, we report the use of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR) for the identification and quantitation of two polymorphs of Aprepitant, a substance P antagonist for chemotherapy-induced emesis. Mixtures of the polymorph pair were prepared by weight and ATR-FT-IR spectra of the powdered samples were obtained over the wavelength range of 700-1...
متن کاملAuthentication of Olive Oil: Detection of Adulteration with Hazelnut Oil by Direct Coupling of Headspace and Mass Spectrometry
Due to its higher price, compared to other edible oils, control of adulteration of the olive oil is one of the main aspects to be evaluated in its quality control. Adulteration with hazelnut oil is one of the most difficult to be detected due to the great similarity existing in the composition of hazelnut and olive oils; both virgin olive oil and olive oil are subjected to that kind of adultera...
