Metabonomics has been recently applied to a variety of studies in the agrifood field, maily focused on adulteration identificacion and cultivar or geographical origin assessment. One-dimensional HR-NMR spectrum was acquired using a standard 1D pulse sequence (NOESYPRESAT) with water peak suppression. Twodimension correlation spectroscopy analyses, 1 H-1 H 2D experiments (COSY90), were performed. ACD/LABS 8.00 software package was used to obtain simulated spectra from main components in olive,
