dc.description.abstractArgan oil is a non-refined vegetable oil obtained from the fruits of the argan tree (Argania spinosa L.) and produced almost exclusively in the southwestern Morocco, where the argan forest is found. Different grades of argan oil are available, namely edible/food and cosmetic grades, depending on the use of roasted or raw kernels, respectively. Argan oil is considered one of the most prized oils in the world, with its demand growing worldwide mainly due to its success as an ingredient in cosmetic products. In Europe, the price of the edible grade oil is also very high as it is perceived as a luxury product [1]. Being a premium product, argan oil is highly prone to adulteration by admixing with cheaper vegetable oils or even its total substitution. Therefore, it is important to develop methodologies that can be used in the control of the authenticity of pure argan oil. Considering that several factors can affect the chemical composition of the oil, in this work novel approaches based on DNA markers are proposed to detect the presence of soybean oil as adulterant of argan oil.pt_PT
