Popis: Reliable geographical identification can protect producers of excellent agroproducts, and also provide reliable purchasing information to satisfy consumers. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the regional and monthly variation in fatty acid (FA) and tocopherol (TOC) in organic milk (OM) and develop a geographical discriminant model of OM in Korea. In this study, OM had &alpha
TOC and showed a regional or monthly difference of 3&ndash
5%. Moreover, C16:0, C18:1 n9 cis + trans, C18:0, and C14:0 were the predominant FAs in OM, and OM mostly had higher &sum
UFA, including nutritionally desirable FAs
but lower &sum
SFA among four regions or in April and August (p <
0.001). The model prepared using stepwise discriminant analysis showed a classification accuracy of 100% for original and cross-validated sample sets. Our results have characterized regional and monthly nutritional variations of OM, thereby potentially suggesting the applicability of a reliable Korean geographical identification labeling system using nutrient compositional analysis of OM.
