Abstract Nowadays, the geographical origin of camellia oil (extra virgin) can be confirmed only by chemical analysis and documental traceability. This preliminary methodological study inquires the efficacy of chemometric analysis and gas chromatography coupled to an electronic nose to provide a rapid tool for the discrimination of camellia oil from different geographical origins. This method is appropriate for serving to support or corroborate geographical origin of camellia oil (extra virgin) based on its fingerprint of volatile profile, which is developed by using discriminant analysis and multivariate ordination technique (partial least squares discriminant analysis and principal components analysis). The results demonstrate that chemometrics combined with the electronic nose technique can be applied for fingerprinting to establish the authenticity of camellia oil (extra virgin) to prevent both quality and prestige loss of this product.

1 Introduction Chinese “Changshan oil-tea camellia oil” is produced in Changshan County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang province. This region is named “Hometown of Chinese Camellia and Tea” by the State Forestry Administration of China. Its tea oil production has a history of more than 2000 years. Camellia oil in Changshan has always played an important role in the history of tea oil in China (Yuan et al. 2013).

According to the chronicles of the Changshan County and the records of family genealogy all over the country, a large number of oil camellias have been planted in the early Song Dynasty and the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Tea oil in the middle of the Ming Dynasty has been widely planted in the mountains and hills. During the period of the Republic of China, there were oil camellias in all counties of the country. Camellia oil in Changshan County is seed oil extracted from Camellia fruit grown in mountain area. The main componen
