Abstract

The standard specifies a method for the determination of stigmastadienes in virgin vegetable oils containing low concentrations of these hydrocarbons, particularly in virgin olive oil. This method may be applied to all vegetable oils although measurements are reliable only where the content of these hydrocarbons lies between 0,01 mg/kg and 4,0 mg/kg. The method is suited to detecting the presence of refined vegetable oils in virgin olive oils since refined oils contain stigmastadienes and cold obtained ones do not.
