Abstract
The electronic nose is a non-invasive technology suitable for the analysis of edible oils. One of the practical applications in the olive oil industry is the classification of virgin oils based on their sensory characteristics. Notwithstanding that this technology, at this stage, cannot realistically replace the currently used methods, it is fruitful for a preliminary analysis of the oil quality. This work makes use of this technology to develop a methodology for the detection of the threshold by which an extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) drops into the virgin olive oil (VOO) category. With this aim, two features were studied: the level of fruitiness level and the type of defect. The results showed a greater influence of the level of fruitiness than the type of defect in the determination of the detection threshold. Furthermore, three of the sensors (S2, S7 and S9) of the commercial e-nose PEN3 were identified as the most discriminating in the classification between EVOO and VOO oils.
