Abstract

The purity of olive oil indicates its authenticity and the absence of foreign substances in its composition. This oil is one of the products most susceptible to adulteration, and such adulterations can reduce its beneficial properties. The aim of this study is to identify pure and adulterated olive oils and investigate the extent of adulteration present in them. The importance of this research lies in raising awareness about methods for detecting fraud in olive oil and providing useful information to relevant authorities to improve monitoring and quality standards. This study is of a research type, and the samples were analyzed through chemical-qualitative tests in the laboratory. The findings of this study show that most of the samples tested were adulterated and require further evaluations. Therefore, it is recommended that the responsible authorities apply more rigorous oversight in this area and conduct more comprehensive investigations.
