Abstract:

  Background:Confirmation of olive oil authenticity and particularly virgin olive oil has a great importance. Several advanced chemical and genetic analyses have been used to monitor especial components; however each has its limitations especially when detecting hazelnut-adulterated olive oil. Objectives:The objective of this research is to assess the presence of trace amount of hazelnut oil in olive oil (less than 10%) by Single Base Extension (SBE) and Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy (FTIR). Materials and Methods:The study was based on the analysis of chloroplast DNA sequences using SBE to detect Single Base Polymorphism (SNPs) in highly preserved DNA regions among species to differentiate pure and adulterated olive oil by means of two parallel tools; ABI PRISM automatic sequencer and the SNaPshot lit (APPLERA). Fourier -Transform InfraRed technique has been used for FTIR spectrum comparisons of pure olive oil and hazelnut-adulterated one as well. Results:Total DNA was extracted successfully from pure and hazelnut-adulterated olive oil, and it provided properly acceptable amplification with the primers designed on chloroplast region of both species and admixture oil of them in different ratios; 50: 50, 70: 30, and vice versa. However, for lesser than 10% hazelnut oil in olive oil only SBE analysis provided recognizable results. FTIR spectra of oil samples were assessed at frequency regions of 4000 - 700 cm-1. Eight wave numbers (3007, 1373, 1237, 1120, 1098, 1032, 965, and 722 cm-1) out of eleven differentiating ones were selected as candidate wave-numbers to distinguish pure and adulterated olive oil. Conclusions:SBE technique proved to be an effective strategy to verify olive oil authenticity, especially from hazelnut-adulterated olive oil. However, FTIR technique provided trustable results only when higher than 10% hazelnut oil is present in olive oil.

Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopic Studies on Epilepsy, Migraine and Paralysis

In the present paper, we have studied immunglobulin (IgG) of epileptic children, migraineous and paralytic patients.  We have compared our results with normal healthy controls. We found that the bands ranges from 1151.94 to 1168.28 cm-1 due to phospholipids (P-O-C ) group appear in some of the migraineous and paralytic patients only. These bands are absent in normal and epileptic patients. The ...

Structural Analysis of Ciprofloxacin-Carbopol Polymeric Composites by X-Ray Diffraction and Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy

Purpose: To evaluate physicochemical changes in ciprofloxacin following incorporation in Carbopol polymeric composites. Methods: The ciprofloxacin and Carbopol were mixed in water in a drug:polymer ratio of 1:5 (w/w) and homogenized to produce uniform composites. X-ray powder diffraction analysis of the pure ciprofloxacin and the Carbopol polymeric composites of the drug were obtained using a p...

Biosensor immunoassay for traces of hazelnut protein in olive oil

The fraudulent addition of hazelnut oil to more expensive olive oil not only causes economical loss but may also result in problems for allergic individuals as they may inadvertently be exposed to potentially allergenic hazelnut proteins. To improve consumer safety, a rapid and sensitive direct biosensor immunoassay, based on a highly specific monoclonal antibody, was developed to detect the pr...
