“…Recently, Mohammed et al [ 45 ] applied ICP-AES to quantify the contents of eleven elements (Ca, P, Mg, Mn, K, Cu, Fe, Cd, Cr, Zn, Sn) in Argan oil, prepared by cold pressing from kernels collected from both fully ripe and unripe fruits. The results show a 55 to 60% metal increase in Argan oil obtained from fully ripe fruit.…”

In addition to the nutritional and therapeutic benefits, Argan oil is praised for its unique bio-ecological and botanic interest. It has been used for centuries to treat cardiovascular issues, diabetes, and skin infections, as well as for its anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties. Argan oil is widely commercialized as a result of these characteristics. However, falsifiers deliberately blend Argan oil with cheaper vegetable oils to make economic profits. This reduces the quality and might result in health issues for consumers. Analytical techniques that are rapid, precise, and accurate are employed to monitor its quality, safety, and authenticity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of studies on the quality assessment of Moroccan Argan oil using both untargeted and targeted approaches. To extract relevant information on quality and adulteration, the analytical data are coupled with chemometric techniques.

“…Overall, the production units must ensure the high quality of Argan products and also show interest in continuous improvement and the geographical indication that enables the sale of the produced Argan oil as an indigenous Moroccan product while maintaining all of its benefits 4) . Following the combination of scientific work and marketing techniques, Argan oil is positioned as a recognized product both nationally and internationally 18) .…”

Several studies have been conducted on the factors influencing the quality of Argan oil, including the geographical origin and extraction method denounced by Cayuela et al. 6) , the storage of Argan almonds 7) , and filtration, which negatively influences the oxidative stability and the quality parameters of Argan oil, more broadly, the peroxide index parameter 8) . In addition, other factors influence the quality of Argan products, including artisanal and modern extraction processes and roasting 9,10) .The deterioration of Argan oil is a result of several factors, including the storage conditions and auto-oxidation that is due to the initial composition of Argan oil, the quality indices, and the content of minor components dispersed in the unsaponifiable fraction of Argan oil, including the tocopherols, minerals, chlorophylls
