Abstract:
Olive oil samples were obtained from six cultivars grown in different environments, and graded by chemical analyses as extra virgin (EVOOs). These were evaluated for flavors and off-flavors, and relative VOCs spectrum as determined by PTR-ToF-MS. A hierarchical clustering of Panel test data separated olive oil in three groups, one including the samples with perceived off-flavor (VOOs), regardless of cultivar and environment. The Pearson's correlation coefficients between the mass data from PTR-ToF-MS and the sensory characteristics perceived by the Panel test were determined. A mass-to-sensory attributes correlation index was calculated. A color-coded card was built up based on the intensities (ncps) of five selected protonated mass data that was able to distinguish EVOOs from VOOs olive oil samples.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency,...
