Chemiluminescent Methods in Olive Oil Analysis

  • Review
  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society

Abstract

The present review describes chemiluminescence applications to olive oil analysis and olive mill wastewater and covers the literature published in recent years. The article has been divided into several sections that discuss specific applications for determining phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, radical scavenging, oxidative stability and the detection of possible adulteration by seed oils. The advantages and disadvantages of the chemiluminescence detection systems for these purposes are evaluated.
