Abstract:Flaxseed oil is one of the best sources of n-3 fatty acids, thus its adulteration with refined oils can lead to a reduction in its nutritional value and overall quality. The purpose of this study was to compare different chemometric models to detect adulteration of flaxseed oil with refined rapeseed oil (RP) using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Based on the melting phase transition curve, parameters such as peak temperature (T), peak height (h), and percentage of area (P) were determined for pure and… Show more
