The invention discloses a method for determining
palm oil mixed in special-grade virgin
olive oil. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, the content of
delta-
tocotrienol in a special-grade virgin
olive oil sample is measured; secondly, the
mass fraction of
campesterol in the total content of
sterol in the special-grade virgin
olive oil sample is measured; thirdly, when the content, obtained in the first step, of
delta-
tocotrienol is larger than or equal to 2 mg / kg, and the
mass fraction, obtained in the second step, of
campesterol in the total content of
sterol is smaller than or equal to 0.5%, it is determined that
palm oil is mixed in the special-grade virgin olive oil. The method for determining
palm oil mixed in the special-grade virgin olive oil is easy to implement, good in accuracy, reliable in determining result, and high in detection efficiency, and most importantly fills up the national detection blank of palm oil mixed in olive oil, and a powerful guarantee for maintaining the benefits of
mass consumers in China is provided.
