Rapid Measurement of Olive Oil Adulteration with Soybean Oil with Minimal Sample Preparation Using DSA/TOF
27 Mar 2014This application note demonstrates that the AxION Direct Sample Analysis (DSA™) system integrated with the AxION 2 Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass spectrometer can be used for rapid screening of adulteration of olive oil with soybean oil. The advantages of this method, compared to conventional techniques, are that no chromatography is required, the combination of direct sampling from the olive oil is done with minimal or no sample preparation and mass spectra results are generated in seconds.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
