Development and validation of the proposed methodology to verify vegetable oil species in mixtures of oil
Abstract:
A follow up to project FA0117. To set up an inter-laboratory trial with partners in the UK using different FTIR spectroscopy instruments to challenge test the method for oil blends trialled in project FA0117. To expand vegetable oils reference database developed under project FA0117 . To expand oil types subjected to analysis to include a limited number of other types such as coconut and soybean oil present in processed foods. To update the calibration models and decision system to inmprove accurancy of the method. To assess robustness of using the method to determine oil species in food matrices: case study with chocolate or pastry product. To develop and validate the web tool used for data analysis.
