# Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 of 11 July 1991 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis, Division

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

NB : The components to be quantified refer to the peaks with carbon pair numbers between esters C 40 and C 46 , using the example of the olive oil wax chromatogram shown in the figure below. If ester C 46 appears twice, it is recommended that to identify it the fraction of the waxes of an olive-residue oil should be analysed where the C 46 peak is easy to identify because it is in the clear majority.
