Equipment
Gas Chromatograph (GC) with flame-ionization detection (FID), automatic injector and automatic sample feeder
The main research on the FID gas chromatograph is in the field of new methods for the determination of stigmastadiene content, fatty acid composition and trans isomers, sterol content, sterol composition and triterpene dialcohols as well as the percentage of 2-glyceryl mono palmitate. The determination of stigmastadienes and trans isomers of the fatty acid composition can be used to determine the admixture of refined olive oil with virgin olive oil, while the development of other methods is based on the determination of the admixture of oils of non-olive origin.
