The applicability of FT-MIR/ATR spectroscopy (4000-400 cm À1 ) for the evaluation of early stages of autoxidation was examined for extra virgin olive oil samples (EVOO), which even after 12-month storage (dark, 23 AE 38C) satisfied official limits for acidity, peroxide, K 232 and K 270 values. Changes in intensity values at 3470 cm À1 (hydroperoxide formation) and in values of various intensity ratios, namely A
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
