Laser Diodes in Sensor Detect Quality Differences in Olive Oils

Researchers at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and the Scintillon Institute have designed a sensor that can detect counterfeit olive oil labeled as extra virgin or protected designation of origin. Laser diodes in the sensor detect fluorescencelevels in the oils, which differ slightly betw
