Abstract
Abstract The fatty acid composition of California and imported (France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Tunisia) olive oils is reported. The entire series of fatty acids of odd and even chain lengths from C12 to C28 is present as well as the even chain length monounsaturates from C16 to C22. Branched (iso and/or anteiso) C18 and C22 to C30 acids were tentatively identified in certain olive oils. Tunisian olive oil is characteristically high in palmitic acid (17%) and low in oleic acid (57%) compared with the levels of palmitic acid (12%) and oleic acid (72%) in the other olive oils.
