Description
Summary:Olive oils are more expensive compared with other vegetable oils. Therefore, adulterating such expensive oil is prevalent. The traditional methods for olive oil adulteration detection are complex and require pre-analysis sample preparation. Therefore, simple and precise alternative techniques are required. In the present study, the Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique was implemented for detecting alteration and adulteration of olive oil mixed with sunflower or corn oil based on the post-heating emission characteristics. Diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSS, λ = 405 nm) was employed for excitation and the fluorescence emission was detected via an optical fiber connected to a compact spectrometer. The obtained results revealed alterations in the recorded chlorophyll peak intensity due to olive oil heating and adulteration. The correlation of the experimental measurements was evaluated via partial least-squares regression (PLSR) with an R-squared value of 0.95. Moreover, the system performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) with a maximum sensitivity of 93%.
