Abstract
Fatty acid compositional data for Greek virgin olive oils from 24 year s of harvest and various regions and cultivars were evaluated using ch emometric methods. Non-parametric discriminant analysis after proper t ransformation of the data seems to be a suitable approach to character ise the oils according to the geographical origin and may produce a sc ientific basis for the assignment of an 'appellation d'origine' trade mark.
