RESUMO

Many instrumental techniques are used to monitor the quality of food products, highlighting near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). In order to determine the authenticity of 60 commercial oil samples seized by the Espírito Santo state police, this work used a portable spectrometer in the NIR region associated with chemometric tools such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares regression (PLS) to classify and quantify possible adulterants present such as soybean oil. In addition, physicochemical tests (acidity, peroxide and ultraviolet absorption) were carried out on commercial samples. The PLS regression model built to quantify soybean oil showed a coefficient of determination (R2) greater than 0.99, showing itself to be satisfactory. The results showed that all samples analyzed had a high content of adulterant and cannot be classified as extra virgin olive oil.
