OLIV-TRACK
This project concerns the traceability of origin and authenticity
of olive oil by genomic and metabolomic approaches. Starting from
commercially available cultivars a database will be constructed
including all relevant information for science, commerce, marketing
and processing in the EU. The project applies established DNA analytical
methods based on PCR (SSR, AFLP, RAPD, ITS, retrotransposons and
SNP) and metabolic profiling with mass spectrometry to develop molecular
markers for application in advanced high-throughput platform, mass
spectrometry, Light Cycler and microarrays which allow for a precise
discrimination and quantification of different cultivar composition
in olive oil of different origin and technological processing. Methods
will be validated for their application to forensic tests on olive
oils, enabling to understand their composition also in quantitative
terms and the presence of frauds.
