Abstract (EN): An HPLC/ELSD method was used to quantify the triacylglycerols in varietal virgin olive oils from Cvs. Verdeal Transmontana, Madural, and Cobrancosa. The triacylglycerol profiles showed that Cv. Verdeal Transmontana had the highest values for 000 (66.8%) and POO (23.4%) and the lowest for LOO (3.6%), the major triacylglycerols in the samples studied. Using PCA statistical analysis the oils could be discriminated, showing the potential of this method for characterizing varietal olive oils.
