More than 65% of imported extra virgin olive oil is defective due to poor handling or deliberate adulteration with extraneous, non-beneficial oils. The most prevalent and identifying defect in olive oil is rancidity, indicating the absence of expected health benefits such as antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats. This summer, we are assembling a biosensor capable of quickly and cheaply evaluating rancidity defects in the chemical profile of olive oil, providing both consumers and retailers with a means of ensuring product quality. | More than 65% of imported extra virgin olive oil is defective due to poor handling or deliberate adulteration with extraneous, non-beneficial oils.

Welcome to the 2014 UC Davis iGEM team wiki!
More than 65% of imported extra virgin olive oil is defective due to poor handling or deliberate adulteration with extraneous, non-beneficial oils. The most prevalent and identifying defect in olive oil is rancidity, indicating the absence of expected health benefits such as antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats. This summer, we are assembling a biosensor capable of quickly and cheaply evaluating rancidity defects in the chemical profile of olive oil, providing both consumers and retailers with a means of ensuring product quality.
Wiki Requirements
iGEM Logo
All iGEM Team Wikis must include the iGEM logo at the top of the page and a visible link back to the iGEM 2014 Wiki Main Page in the header (or at the top of the page). All wiki pages must preserve the user editing menu (notifications, username, messages, history, edit). In the case where the user heading is not visible, an automatic heading will be overlaid on top of the wiki page(s) where the heading is missing.
The iGEM Login Bar
The iGEM Login Bar is a 20 pixel high, full-width menu bar that exists on all 2014.igem.org pages. It contains:
wiki tools (edit, history, watch, etc.)
login
All iGEM 2014 Team Wikis are required to have the Login Bar. All wiki pages must preserve the user editing menu (notifications, username, messages, history, edit). Please keep this in mind as you design your wiki.
Protein EngineeringLearn about how we engineered substrate specificity of Aldehyde Dehydrogenases and how we characterized specificity profiles. |
ElectrochemistryTake a look at how we developed a robust, coupleable electrochemical system to enable detection of various aldehydes in solution. |
Signal ProcessingTake a look at the potentiostat and corresponding software we developed to acquire and process our data. |
ResultsHere's the criteria that we met for this year's team. |
