Abstract
The European Commission has stablished standards to be applied to all the olive oils subject to international trade. The standards include what is called conformity checks to know the physico-chemical and organoleptic properties, for labelling and category requirements (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104). However, most of those methods are inaccessible to most producers and retailers. Furthermore, the high cost and time required to obtain the data means that the number of samples inspected per year is very low in relation to the total volume of olive oils produced. There is therefore a growing and urgent demand for novel, fast and low-cost analytical methods to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of olive oils. The present work will provide scientific evidence of the potential of a handheld Linear Variable Filters (LVF) NIRS instrument for the on-site quality control of olive oils.
