It constitutes a rapid and efficient tool suitable for a wide-ranging screening of a large number of samples. In a few minutes, the method provides a comprehensive characterization of total EW extracts, based on the molecular formula of their components. Accurate mass measurements are obtained by UHRMS, and compositional restrictions are set on the basis of the information available from previous studies of olive EW. By alternating positive and negative ESI modes within the same analysis, complementary results are obtained and a wide range of chemical species is covered. This provides a detailed compositional overview that otherwise would only be available by applying multiple analytical techniques.9 p.application/pdfeng(c) John Wiley & Sons, 2015Oli d'olivaEspectrometria de massesOlive oilMass spectrometryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6491272020-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
