ESPECTROLIVE 

Research on the use of spectroscopy and complementary technologies in detecting phytosanitary products in situ in whole olives.

Main objective

Investigate the application of spectroscopy and electronic nose technologies for the detection of phytosanitary products in whole olives in situ in order to ensure compliance with regulatory limits for these compounds in olive oils and perform real-time monitoring of the production process that allows rapid identification of problems and immediate action related to the presence of contaminants, helping to reduce waste and improving the efficiency and quality control of olive oils, as well as performing an appropriate classification of the fruit, before milling, to achieve "zero residue" oils, which are highly valued by today's consumers.

Specific objectives

The specific technical objectives carried out in the Applied Photonics Group are: 

  • Raman
  1. Optimize Raman spectra acquisition parameters to improve the resolution and accuracy of the results (maximize the signal-to-noise ratio). 
  2. Identify and quantify the concentration of specific phytosanitary products in the samples.
  3. Develop multivariate models for classifying different varieties of phytosanitary products and examining their evolution over time.
  4. To evaluate the sensitivity and selectivity of the technique in comparison with other existing analytical techniques.
  5. Validate the results obtained by means of cross-validation techniques and comparison with reference values.

Expected outcomes

  1. A real-time olive classification system is based on the presence of contaminants.
  2. Promotion of the health properties of olive oil as a sales argument for these products. 
  3. Improvement of olive oil export channels through better compliance with restrictive regulations on the presence of phytosanitary residues in olive oil. 
  4. Improvement of the competitiveness of the olive oil sector and the associated auxiliary industry. 
  5. Promotion in the agro-industrial sector of sensor technologies aligned with Industry 4.0.
