<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;academic.oup.com&#x2F;jaoac&#x2F;article&#x2F;83&#x2F;6&#x2F;1435&#x2F;5656401#198803296" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;academic.oup.com&#x2F;jaoac&#x2F;article&#x2F;83&#x2F;6&#x2F;1435&#x2F;5656401#198...</a><p>&gt; Fluorescence spectra of some common vegetable oils, including olive oil, olive residue oil, refined olive oil, corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, and cotton oil, were examined in their natural state, with a wavelength of 360 nm used as excitation radiation. All oils studied, except extra virgin olive oil, exhibited a strong fluorescence band at 430–450 nm. Extra virgin olive oil gave a different by interesting fluorescence spectrum, composed of 3 bands: one low intensity doublet at 440 and 455 nm, one strong at 525 nm, and one of medium intensity at 681 nm. The band at 681 nm was identified as the chlorophyll band. The band at 525 nm was at least partly derived from vitamin E. The low intensity doublet at 440 and 455 nm correlated with the absorption intensity at 232 and 270 nm of olive oil. The measurements of these fluorescence spectra were quick (about 5 min) and easy and could possibly be used for authentification of virgin olive oil.<p>From a Halloween website, may provide a clue to the red.<p>&gt; Chlorophyll is green under regular light, but will fluoresce red under a black light. Chlorophyll fluoresces red under UV light.

Other fun household items which will fluoresce under UV light:<p>Your feet (athlete&#x27;s foot) and sometimes hands.<p>Banana &quot;mold&quot; (the black spots&#x27; edges).<p>Your credit cards and IDs (usually a bird on VISA and &quot;AMEX&quot; on so-named).<p>Money (embedded denomination &quot;strip&quot; is different for each modern bill).<p>Centipedes and Scorpions (seriously, just go into your yard at night and scan the ground for wigglies).<p>If you have beehives, the Varroa Destructor (species&#x2F;pest) also shines brightly on their little carapaces.

Oils generally can have funny properties, like dichromatism in pumpkin-seed oil (small layers are perceived green, thicker layers red)

I don&#x27;t have a green laser, but I just tried shining a 365nm UV torch on the various bottles of oil in my kitchen.<p>My good EV olive oil in a glass bottle goes a sort of pinkish colour. With the natural colour of the oil &amp; the way the glass reflects&#x2F;refracts light, it makes it look like copper.<p>I don&#x27;t get the same effect with cheapo refined olive oil in a plastic bottle. I get a bit of fluorescence - the normal violet colour and much less than say a white piece of paper - but all or most of that is just from the container.

Quinine is another fluorescent substance - it glows blue in UV light. I used to carry a UV diode into malls to test if tonics contained quinine.

Fun EVOO facts:<p>- the label of every bottle of EVOO uses short country codes to indicate where the oil came from, which is often multiple countries. this doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s worse, but there are more ways some part of it could have not been great.<p>- extra virgin olive oil is a juice that will go rancid from excessive light, oxygen, or temperature fluctuation. it&#x27;s basically like red wine. once you open the bottle, use it quickly, and keep it in a dark dry place. make sure the bottle is glass and is darkened.<p>- high phenolic olive oil is more expensive to produce (and thus buy) but contains more polyphenols.<p>- more olive oils now carry seals of authenticity. find one, Google it, see if it looks legit. there are many different certifications. Italy was the country with the most EVOO fraud, so be more circumspect with oil from there.<p>- a list of oils sold in America certified as pure: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aboutoliveoil.org&#x2F;79-certified-pure-and-authentic-olive-oils" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aboutoliveoil.org&#x2F;79-certified-pure-and-authenti...</a><p>- all EVOO is cold pressed and unrefined, by definition. ignore any marketing jargon you see on different bottles.<p>- don&#x27;t pay a bunch of money for infused oil. buy whatever oil you want, put some aromatics in a jar, pour in oil. use it up in a month.

A recall a number of news items from a few years ago which talked about how some olive oil vendors were adulterating their products with other oils. If this phenomenon could be better understood maybe there would be a rapid, optical&#x2F;spectroscopic way to characterize olive oil purity.

Colavita EVOO turns fairly bright orange.<p>I wonder if this could be a way to test for purity. I know that most EVOO is garbage.
