Necessary for that task, and nowadays unfortunately unavailable, there must be effective routines and analytical methods suitable to verify the authenticity of the oils, in particular the species used in their manufacture and their geographical origin. Thus, the aim of this project is to initiate a database containing the analytical fingerprints of authentic reference oils to serve, primarily, as a tool for the NFSA in their control duties but also to aid the industry in the verification of the composition of the oils they trade with. Relevant samples of oils, selected and collected in Research Area 1 (RA1), will be submitted to fingerprinting techniques chosen for their potential suitability to classify oils according to species, geographical origin and processing conditions: 1H, 13C high resolution NMR, GC, and Isotopic analysis will be tested (RA2) on these selected samples. In addition, trace element analysis will be applied to study geographical origin (RA2). In RA3 we will examine whether the possibility of recovering sufficient DNA and/or proteinaceous material of a quality suitable to permit authentication analyses, in particular identification of species and breeding stock. The levels of environmental contaminants toxins and possible additives of relevance for human health will be analysed in RA4. A part of RA4 will be the testing of new methods (LC, MS-MS and MS-MS -MS) to identify the presence of undesirable toxic compounds, synthetic additives and residues of veterinary drugs. The final activity of the project, RA5, will be the construction of a database of authentic oils and their fingerprints, together with suitable methods for statistical treatment of the data that will permit the NFSA authenticate the oils they must control as part of their duty to ensure the health of the Norwegian population and fair trade.
