Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Here, we present the results of analyzing the fatty acid composition of the main edible vegetable oils from Kazakhstani oilseed producers (safflower, sunflower, maize (corn), linseed, cottonseed, soybean and rapeseed) in comparison with the known fatty acid (FA) composition of specific vegetable oils complying with the Codex Standard for Named Vegetable Oil (Codex Stan 210-1999). The fatty acid composition of 35 different vegetable oils was analyzed by gas chromatography with a Shimadzu GC-2010 Plus instrument with flame ionization detection using a high-polarity CP-Sil 2560, which allowed us to establish their authenticity for high accuracy and excellent separation. A comparative study of the fatty acid composition, groups and omega-6/omega-3 ratios in seven different vegetable oils was carried out. Subsequently, the data were processed by hierarchical clustering analysis, principal component analysis, artificial neural network and Pearson’s correlation. Artificial neural network analysis demonstrated correct predictions. Principal component analysis showed the effects of oleic, linoleic and α-linolenic acids to vegetable oils classification.
