Qualities Of Olive Oil & The Role Assays May Play In Authenticating

By Rob Sutter


When people put money into something, expecting one aspect, they should be able to attain it easily. While this would be the ideal situation, I've come across a number of them in which people have been cheated out of their money, which is a shame to put it lightly. These people should be able to purchase something with the utmost confidence. This goes especially for the qualities of olive oil, which may just have a new way to authenticate every aspect that deserves to be looked at.

Keep in mind that a level of fear doesn't have to exist, as long as you have the faintest idea of the places to shop. You may be able to go to a store that's reputable and, since you've only had good experiences with it in the past, there's no need to go elsewhere. For example, if you were head to a farmer's market, you understand where the crops come from and how they are maintained. Understanding these basic principles allows for more effective business to be made.

The United States Department of Agriculture will be looking more into authenticating such qualities of olive oil. This will be done through the development of laboratory assays, which only adds to the amount of options which exist to help on the matter. Mislabeling comes about far too often for my liking and this goes for any type of food, not just limited to this type of oil. A number of procedures to help authenticate is something that companies such as Bellucci Premium can back, I can imagine.

Many people do not realize that there is olive DNA and that there are methods used to look into it. For example, news from the USDA stated that polymerase chain reaction technology is used to compare such DNA to the oil from canola and sunflower plants. What labels may not clarify, if the situation presents itself, is how these various oils are mixed together. Why should people buy items if they are uncertain of what exactly is placed inside of them, whether beneficial or harmful to one's lifestyle?

I believe that the qualities of olive oil should not be tampered with. Extra virgin oil is easily one of the most beneficial because of its pure qualities, thereby making it most effective if you were to prepare a litany of dishes. Maybe a type of oil has been tampered with; it doesn't matter whether they were for the better or for the worse, since this should not be allowed. I think that it shouldn't be too hard to keep these products, and their qualities, as authentic as possible.
