The application of PCA to the data obtained by the proposed method showed that the samples of the two types (1, extra virgin olive oils; 2, low quality virgin olive oils) lie in two well-defined regions of the space, and that the distance among the two groups is not smaller than what is obtained on the data of the Official Method. On the basis of these results, it is possible to confirm that the proposed method for the detection of FAAEs shows a discriminating ability that is at least equal to that of the Official EU Method. Further research efforts are advisable in order to confirm the proposed limit to the total FAAEs content for extra virgin olive oils according to the new method. Anyway, simulations performed with a bootstrapping technique showed a very high consistency of the statistical parameters. Moreover, though the method repeatability was excellent, a collaborative study on the reproducibility of the proposed method seems to be advisable.
