    Prediction of Chemical Parameters and Authentication of Various Cold Pressed Oils With Fluorescence and Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Methods
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Doğruer, Ilgın; Uyar, H. Hilal; Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, Banu
    It was aimed to compare the performances of two spectroscopic methods, fluorescence and mid-infrared spectroscopy, in terms of their adulteration detection and estimation of several chemical properties for various cold pressed seed oils. Spectroscopic profiles, fatty acid, free fatty acid and total phenol contents of pumpkin seed, grape seed, black cumin oil, and sesame seed oils were determined and these oils were mixed with sunflower oil at 1–50% (v/v). Both spectroscopic techniques provided comparable results for determination of adulteration of each oil type and the most successful prediction was obtained for pumpkin seed oil at levels >%1. Combined data set of oils resulted in successful quantification of their free fatty acid value, total phenol and major fatty acids contents with both spectroscopic methods regardless of oil type. Both techniques could be used as reliable, fast and environmentally friendly alternatives in the analyses of different types of seed oils. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

    Use of Ftir and Uv-Visible Spectroscopy in Determination of Chemical Characteristics of Olive Oils
    (Elsevier, 2019) Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, Banu; Tokatlı, Figen
    It was aimed to predict fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE), wax, diacylglycerol (DAG) and color pigment contents of olive oils by using rapid and non-destructive spectroscopic techniques (FTIR and UV-vis) individually and in combination. Prediction models were constructed by using partial least squares (PLS) regression with cross and external validation. FAEEs were estimated best with FTIR + UV-Vis spectroscopy (R-cv.(2) = 0.84, R-pred(2) = 0.90, and RPD = 3.0). PLS model with R-cv.(2) = 0.79, R-pred(2) = 0.71, and RPD = 1.9 was obtained for the estimation of 1,2 DAG using FTIR spectral data. Major pigments, lutein, pheophytin a and their derivatives and total xanthophylls were quantified successfully by FTIR + UV-Vis with a range of R-cv.(2) of 0.71-0.85, R-pred(2) of 0.70-0.84, and RPD = 1.5-2.5 values but the prediction of the rest of the pigments were poor (R-cv(2) = 0.60-0.76, R-pred(2) = 0.42-0.62, and RPD = 1.2-1.5). Combination of two spectral data resulted in average prediction of wax content of oils (R-cal(2) = 0.95, R-pred(2) = 0.75, and RPD = 1.9). FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopic techniques in combination with PLS regression provided promising results for the prediction of several chemical parameters of olive oils; therefore, they could be alternatives to traditional analysis methods.

    Importance of Some Minor Compounds in Olive Oil Authenticity and Quality
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, Banu
    Background: Consumption and production of olive oils have been increasing steadily worldwide mainly due to proven health benefits and sensorial characteristics of olive oil. M the same time, rising demand makes it harder to protect olive oil genuineness; therefore, inauthentic products have been always a serious problem in olive oil industry. Scope and approach: Some minor compounds such as pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids) including their derivatives pyropheophytins (PPPs), diacylglycerols (DAGs) and fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are all prominent compounds with their discriminatory and descriptive properties. Among several different approaches, use of these components to differentiate genuine and adulterated olive oils could be a promising choice since it is harder to mimic these compounds in fake mixtures. Recent studies focus on these compounds as authentication and quality tools for olive oil and potential of these compounds are aimed to be reviewed. Key findings and conclusions: Results from literature indicated that these parameters could be used in both authenticity and quality determination of olive oils with some limitations. Pigments were found to be more promising in geographical and/or varietal classification. All of the discussed components have successful applications in determination of olive oil quality with respect to storage history and oil grades. However, in detection of certain types of adulteration techniques such as soft deodorization, reviewed parameters did not work effectively alone. Regulations could be updated with these findings and use of combined parameters including discussed compounds could be further investigated for unsolved authentication problems.

    A Comparative Study of Mid-Infrared, Uv-Visible and Fluorescence Spectroscopy in Combination With Chemometrics for the Detection of Adulteration of Fresh Olive Oils With Old Olive Oils
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Uncu, Oğuz; Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, Banu; Özen, Fatma Banu
    The work aimed to detect and quantify adulteration of fresh olive oils with old olive oils from the previous harvest year by using different spectroscopic approaches in combination with chemometrics. Adulterated samples prepared in varying concentrations (10.50%(v/v)) were analyzed with fluorescence, Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopic methods. Orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression techniques were used for the differentiation of adulterated oils from the pure oils and prediction of adulteration levels, respectively. After the application of various pre-treatment methods, all of the OPLS-DA classification models generated for every spectroscopic technique successfully differentiated adulterated and non-adulterated oils with over 90% correct classification rate. FT-IR + UV-vis and fluorescence spectral data were also successfully used to predict adulteration levels with high coefficient of determinations for both calibration (0.94 and 0.98) and prediction (0.91 and 0.97) models and low error values for calibration (4.22% and 2.68%), and prediction (5.20% and 2.82%), compared to individual FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy were obtained. Therefore, FT-IR + UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy as being fast and environmentally friendly tools have great potential for both classification and quantification of adulteration practices involving old olive oil.

    Prediction of Various Chemical Parameters of Olive Oils With Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
    (Academic Press Inc., 2015) Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, Banu
    Vibrational spectroscopic techniques offer advantages such as rapid and accurate measurements with minimum sample preparation and waste generation. In this study, it was aimed at determining some important quality parameters (oxidative stability, colour pigments, fatty acid profile and phenolic composition) of olive oils by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as one of the vibrational spectroscopic methods. Partial least square calibration models were constructed in order to reveal any correlation between quality parameters and spectral data. Regression coefficients for developed models showed that oxidative stability (0.99), chlorophyll content (0.98), some major fatty acids (palmitic (0.87), oleic (0.94), and linoleic acids (0.97), saturated (0.91), monounsaturated (0.94) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (0.97)), hydroxytyrosol as a phenolic compound (0.97) and total phenolic content (0.99) were predicted successfully. Variable influence on the projection values indicated that palmitic, vanillic and cinnamic acids and hydroxytyrosol are the most significant contributors to oxidative stability of olive oils. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
