Optimization of Calibration Strategies for the Quantification of Volatile Compounds in Virgin Olive Oil

The quantification of volatile compounds in virgin olive oil poses several analytical chal- lenges due to the existence of different concentrations, chemical families, and the possible matrix effect. Accurate quantification, using adequate methodological calibration and statistical procedures, is essential for obtaining reliable results. The aim of this work was to develop and validate an analytical–statistical approach for the quantification of volatile compounds in virgin olive oil....
