“…The official European Union (EU) classification implemented for defining oil authenticity and quality are “Protected designation of origin” (PDO) and “Protected geographical indication” (PGI) ( EEC, 1992 ). Many studies have been carried out and published on validating the endogenous species as markers of origin of monovarietal oils by many analytical approaches, such as NMR ( Mannina et al, 1999 ; Sacchi et al, 1998 ), FT-IR ( Amit et al, 2020a , 2020b , 2020c ) and GC ( Benincasa et al, 2003 ).…”
