Abstract
In July of 2010, Department of Health, Executive Yuan announced the act of label regulation of commercial blended oils. This act claimed that oil products contain more than two kinds of oils should be named as "blended oil", and the order of oil names should be arranged in sequence of the content of each oil. However, there is no standard analytical method to detect adulteration. In this article, we reviewed previous reports about detection of adulterated olive oil and sesame oil, and categorized these methods into eight groups according to the analytical targets and instruments: (1) unique ingredients in oils, (2) electronic nose, (3) isotope ratio MS, (4) mid-IR and FTIR, (5) NMR, (6) Raman spectroscopy, (7) analysis of fatty acid profile and (8) analysis of triacylglycerol profile. We also introduced the concepts of different detection methods, which can be used as references for developing a standard analytical method.
