Abstract:
In food quality optical measurement methods are time- and solventconsuming and require specialized personnel and expensive instruments. CDR has created an innovative system (the FoodLab method) which permits determination of the total polyphenol value of an oil in a few minutes, using a micro quantity of sample. This innovative system was employed to evaluate polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil obtained from different geographical areas and olive cultivars and having a wide range of these compounds and in olive extracts, for a rapid and simple assessment of fruit ripening degree.
