Optical Spectroscopic Analysis for the Discrimination of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil [PDF]
We demonstrate the ability to discriminate between five brands of commercially available extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) using Raman spectroscopy or fluorescence spectroscopy. Data was taken on both a ‘bulk optics’ free space system and on a compact handheld device, each capable of taking both Raman and fluorescence data. With the compact Raman device we
