Classification of olive cultivars by machine learning based on olive oil chemical composition.

Extra virgin olive oil traceability and authenticity are important quality indicators, and are currently the subject of exhaustive research, for developing methods to secure olive oil origin-related issues. The aim of this study was the development of a classification model capable of olive cultivar identification based on olive oil chemical composition. To achieve our aim, 385 samples of two Greek and three Italian olive cultivars were collected during two successive crop years from different locations in the coastline part of western Greece and southern Italy and analyzed for their chemical characteristics.
