White pitch oleoresinsmay be superior to black pitch in terms of quality, but the criteria used for their differentiation are fairlysubjective.Aim of the study:This study was designed to provide a scientific rationale for the traditional differentiation ofblack and white pitch oleoresins based on their non-volatile fraction.Materials and methods:Black and white pitch oleoresin samples collected inquilombolaterritories in Oriximináwere analysed by GC-EI-MS and UPLC-APCI-MS. The feasibility of EI and APCI mass spectrometry-based patternrecognition methods PLS-DA and Random Forest Analysis (RFA) for black and white pitch oleoresins differ-entiation was demonstrated.Results:The UPLC-APCI-MS method allowed the separation of 43 triterpenoids. Assessment of the triterpenoidfingerprints by GC-EI-MS led to the tentative identification of ursa-9(11),12-dien-3-ol as a potential marker forblack pitch oleoresins. PLS-DA and RFA applied to the APCI-MS and EI-MS data gave good models for black andwhite pitch oleoresins classification. The most important ions for the classifications of black pitch oleoresins byAPCI-MS/PLS-DA and APCI-MS/RFA likely represented triterpenoid acids.Conclusions:The triterpenoid pattern differs between black and white pitch oleoresins. The characteristic pre-sence of ursa-9(11),12-dien-3-ol and triterpenoids acids in black pitch oleoresins, along with otherfield ob-servations, suggest that black pitch oleoresins are actually aged white pitch oleoresins. aChemometrics aTriterpenoids aEspectrometria aOleorresina aResina aBreu aChemoethnotaxonomy aEspectrometria de massa aPlant resins aQuimioethnotaxonomia aQuimiometria aResinas vegetais aTriterpenóides1 aSIMAS, R.
