# 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 Note 7:

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

The components for quantification refer to the peaks with even carbon numbers amongst the C 40 - C 46 esters, according to the specimen chromatogram of the waxes in olive oil provided in the attached figure. For identification purposes, if the C 46 ester is split, it is recommended to analyse the wax fraction of an olive-pomace oil where the C 46 peak is distinguishable because it is clearly predominant.
