Prediction of Polyphenol Fraction in Virgin Olive Oil Using Mid-Infrared Attenuated Total Reflectance Attenuated Total Reflectance Accessory–Mid-Infrared Coupled With Partial Least Squares Regression

摘要

This study focuses on the quantification of virgin olive oil phenolic compound while using mid-infrared spectroscopy with chemometrics. For that, 100 samples of virgin olive oils in phenolic compounds which varied between 1.04 and 10.33 g/L were picked up in Morocco’s regions and subjected to infrared analysis. The aim was to develop a calibration model for the prediction of phenolic compounds in olive oil by using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. The spectral transmissions of all samples were obtained in the spectral range of 600–4000 cm~(–1). The values obtained for correlation coefficient and root mean square errors of prediction were 0.99 and 0.11, respectively. These results showed the capability of the Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and the chemometric in developing accurate models to predict the phenolic compounds in virgin olive oil.
