FT-NIR the method of choice to verify the authenticity of extra virgin olive oils
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy was recently demonstrated to be an excellent method to evaluate the authenticity and adulteration of extra virgin olive oil. Since this method is matrix dependent, it takes a chemical fingerprint of all the components which sets it apart from the targeted methods. Careful examinations of the Fourier transform near infrared spectra lead to the identification of a minor carbonyl overtone absorption at 5269 cm −1 associated with the volatile fraction in extra virgin olive oil that appears to be a reliable indicator of authenticity. The same spectra were used to identify the fatty acids present in the oil using models based on comparison to accurate GC data. Gravimetric mixtures of extra virgin olive oil with refined edible oils were then prepared to develop PLS1 calibration models to identify possible adulterants and by how much. The great varietal difference in olive oils made it necessary to develop four unique sets of PLS1 calibration models for each extra virgin olive oil variety. As a result, an extra virgin olive oil acceptance specification was established.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
