Enquiry:
Could you please provide a detailed quotation for the complete quality analysis of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and Virgin Olive Oil (VOO) in accordance with the applicable International Olive Council (IOC) standards?
Kindly include the following analytical parameters:
- Basic chemical quality parameters: Free Fatty Acidity (FFA), Peroxide Value (PV), and UV absorbance indices (K232, K270, and ΔK).
- Fatty acid composition: Complete fatty acid profile, including oleic, palmitic, linoleic, stearic, and other relevant fatty acids.
- Authenticity and purity parameters: Sterol composition, waxes, erythrodiol and uvaol, and other applicable purity tests.
- Additional quality parameters: Total polyphenols, tocopherols (vitamin E), oxidative stability, moisture and volatile matter, and insoluble impurities, where applicable.
- Sensory analysis: Assessment by a trained sensory panel for fruitiness, bitterness, pungency, and negative attributes such as fusty, musty, rancid, winey-vinegary, and other relevant defects.
Please provide the complete list of tests, analytical methods, applicable IOC limits, price per parameter, total cost per sample, sample quantity required, turnaround time, and any additional charges.
Kindly also confirm whether the quotation covers the complete IOC-based assessment required to classify an oil as Extra Virgin or Virgin Olive Oil, including sensory evaluation and all applicable purity tests.
