Real time assessment olive oil

项目摘要

Olive oil is one of the most frequently adulterated food products in the EU, as well as being susceptible to degradation during storage, with potential damage to its nutritional, health and sensory attributes. There are also serious human health concerns surrounding food security in such a vulnerable supply chain. Recently, it has been estimated that up to 80% of Italian extra virgin olive oil is at best below minimum standards and at worst fradulent. There is an urgent requirement for the development of real-time monitoring technology for providing traceability of olive oil through the supply chain. The use of light for analysing pigments, vitamins and phenolic compounds found in olive oil provides the potential for development of a real-time sensor for monitoring olive oil quality through the supply chain, assuring product authenticity and providing traceability. In this Innovate UK project, Liquid Vision Innovation Ltd. will carry out a detailed laboratory study of a range of olive oil samples provided by a large UK olive oil producer, in order to determine the optimum choice of optical components for development of a sensor for inline olive oil quality assessment. A prototype sensor will also be developed. The application of such a sensor commercially has the potential to improve public and retailer confidence in extra virgin olive oil and protect high quality UK and international producers. The project outcomes will be suitable for monitoring other edible oils, as well as having wider applicability in the food and drink industry.

橄榄油是欧盟最常掺假的食品之一，并且在储存过程中容易降解，可能对其营养、健康和感官特性造成损害。在如此脆弱的供应链中，粮食安全还存在严重的人类健康问题。最近，据估计，高达 80% 的意大利特级初榨橄榄油轻则低于最低标准，重则有欺诈行为。迫切需要开发实时监控技术，以通过供应链提供橄榄油的可追溯性。利用光来分析橄榄油中的色素、维生素和酚类化合物，为开发实时传感器提供了潜力，该传感器可以通过供应链监控橄榄油质量，确保产品的真实性并提供可追溯性。在这个创新英国项目中，Liquid Vision Innovation Ltd.将对英国一家大型橄榄油生产商提供的一系列橄榄油样品进行详细的实验室研究，以确定光学元件的最佳选择，用于开发用于在线橄榄油质量评估的传感器。还将开发原型传感器。这种传感器的商业应用有可能提高公众和零售商对特级初榨橄榄油的信心，并保护高质量的英国和国际生产商。该项目成果将适用于监测其他食用油，并在食品和饮料行业具有更广泛的适用性。
