The present disclosure provides a method and system for analysing one or more edible oil samples. In an embodiment the disclosure provides for calibrating the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) data obtained for one or more edible oil samples to obtain calibrated spectral data; and comparing the calibrated spectral data derived from the one or more samples against a library of calibrated MALDI-MS spectra for a plurality of edible oil samples to determine the most likely composition of the one or more edible oil samples.
