Food analysis methods are carried out in two ways: classical methods and instrumental methods. While general analyzes can be made in which more dominant components can be determined in terms of quantity in classical methods, it is possible to perform detailed analyzes in which more specific components can be determined precisely in instrumental analyzes. This distinction also comes to the fore in oil technology, and comprehensive analyzes can be made to obtain important data in terms of oil technology with various devices used. These devices are based on transmitting signals to detectors by utilizing the properties of food components such as beam absorption, beam refraction, beam rotation, electric potential, mass/charge ratio by spectroscopic, chromatographic, thermochemical and electrochemical methods, and then presenting data by passing through the signal processor. In this review, information about instrumental analysis techniques, which are frequently used in oil technology, is given under the headings of extraction techniques, spectroscopic techniques and chromatographic techniques. Today, as a result of the developments in all these techniques, the rate of preference in oil technology is increasing due to advantages such as obtaining fast results, using less samples and solvents, and obtaining reliable results.
