摘要

Fatty acids detection represents one of the key parameters in assessing the characteristics nutraceutical products. Variations in the concentration of specific molecules, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), play a crucial role in identifying the authenticity of the oil and determining its potential health benefits. This study focuses on the development of a photoionization detector (PID) with improved selectivity characteristics for the analysis of vegetable oils. The detector exploits a dual chamber of analysis that includes thin layers of zeolite 13X and 5A for selective adsorption and subsequently thermal desorption at 100 °C. PID-zeolite sensor was validated on a real tomato seeds oil (TSO) evidencing the selective detection of palmitic acid.
