Acquity UPLC Analysis of Olive Oil Quality & Adulteration

This application note describes a 10-minute method for olive oil analysis with Waters^® ACQUITY UPLC^®/PDA system using low toxicity solvents, acetonitrile and 2-propanol as the mobile phase. The UPLC/PDA method allows fast and precise analysis of triglycerides to authenticate olive oil and can be used to unambiguously identify the adulteration of olive oil.
