The authentication and quality assessment of virgin olive oil were performed using high-resolution 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. An overview of the various determinations currently assessed is presented with emphasis on the detection of adulteration with foreign (seed) oils and esteriΓed or reΓned ol

β¦ Synopsis
High-resolution 13C NMR spectroscopy was used to study the potential of the method for the quantitative analysis of the most abundant fatty acids in the triacylglycerols of virgin olive oil samples harvested at di β erent geographic areas of Greece. The analysis of the results was compared with data obtained with gas chromatography. Both methods showed results that di β ered only by 1-2 mol% of the fatty acids. NMR data provided the a/b ratio of oleic and linoleic acids. The results showed a preference for the b-position in these unsaturated acids.
