Abstract
Effective removal of the fatty acid matrix and enrichment of trace target components is a key step in the quantitative analysis of minor components in edible oils. In this study, a novel sample pretreatment method named freezing crystallization was developed to analyze pigments in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). The limits of detection and limits of quantification of this method were 0.125–0.625 μg/mL and 0.5–2.5 μg/mL, respectively. Linear correlations were obtained (r2 ≥ 0.9995), and the recoveries at three spiked levels were 84.2%–105.8%. Besides, the primary pigment components information combined with machine learning to classify the origin of Chinese EVOOs. The k-nearest neighbor (kNN), decision tree (DT), and random forest (RF) were employed to classify the origin of EVOOs, and the accuracies were up to 88%, 88%, and 96%, respectively. This result shows that the novel method has good accuracy and stability, and pigments can be used as a basis for classifying the geographical origin of Chinese domestic EVOOs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate.
JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of yeartoyear, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
