Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104 and 2022/2105 establishes strict criteria for the classification of olive oils (virgin, lampante, refined, etc.), with the aim of:
✔ Ensuring transparency in labeling
✔ Preventing fraud and adulteration
✔ Protecting consumer health.
However, traditional analytical methods require:
Complex manual preparation
High consumption of solvents and materials
Long processing times and specialized personnel.
