Investigation of fatty acid profiles in olive oils obtained from Mersin province in 2015

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine whether the olive oils, which were obtained from 16 different production points in Mersin Province in 2015, were subjected to adulteration by investigating their fatty acid profiles. For this purpose, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), which is one of the most reliable chromatographic methods, was employed. Olive is a fruit which is the subject of many legends and it is even mentioned in religious books. Its existence in Anatolia is known for thousands of years. Olive oil is the oil of this legendary fruit. With the acknowledgment of rapidly increasing olive oil consumption, the significance of obtaining reliable products for the consumers and the determination of products with adulteration gains more importance. Olive oils, which were obtained from 16 different production points in Mersin Province, were placed in glass jars with caps and they were stored with no exposure to sunlight until the analysis. In order to prepare the samples to run GC-MS experiments, the samples firstly subjected to methylation to become volatile. The result was then simultaneously read on FID and MS detectors in the gas chromatography device. As a result of the conducted analyses, in all of the olive oils, which were obtained from Mersin Province, adulteration was not detected. This result was interpreted as a positive, even a happy result for the olive oil producers of Mersin Province and our country, and also us, the consumers.
