“…In the literature, there are many papers and reviews relating the concentration of main pigments and other derived quantities (i.e., the ratio between lutein and β-carotene, or the relative ratio between lutein and minor carotenoids), with olive oil authenticity and quality [9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28]. Moreover, several works demonstrated the usefulness of pigments’ determination to reveal olive oil adulterations [29,30,31]. The identification and quantification of single pigments is usually performed by means of chromatographic methods, such as high performance liquid chromatographic with ultraviolet-visible detection (HPLC-DAD) [12,14,15,22,23,25,26,27].…”
