ABSTRACT

The possibility of enriching the oil produced from Leccino cultivar olive fruits with phenolic and volatile compounds by adding olive leaves (2.5%) during industrial-scale production were investigated. Furthermore, the influence of the addition of leaves on the oil quality, composition, and oxidative stability during storage for 6 and 12 months was studied. A slight negative impact on the oil quality after processing with leaves was determined. The addition of leaves had no influence on the total saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in oils, while it influenced increases in total phenolic compounds (+29.55%), total secoiridoids (+29.43%), chlorophylls (+47.59%), and the oil stability index (+18.70%), and their higher values were also determined in the stored oils. The addition of leaves increased C5 volatiles (+10.50%) but decreased C6 volatiles (-10.48%). The intensity of most of the positive sensory characteristics increased in fresh oils obtained with leaves, and the established improvements were also maintained in the stored oils. The extractability of olive paste was positively affected by the addition of olive leaves, which increased the oil yield (+27.17%). The obtained results significantly contribute to the knowledge about the possibilities of enriching olive oils with bioactive compounds.

ABSTRACT

The influence of semi-hard (C1), hard (C2), and soft whey cheese (C3) immersed in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on its oxidative and hydrolytic parameters, fatty acids, and phenolic composition during two months of simultaneous storage was investigated. Accelerated hydrolytic and oxidative degradation was noted in EVOO stored with the immersed cheese compared to control oil. Oxidation indicator (K232), myristic (C 14:0), and trans-oleic fatty acid (C18:1t) exceeded the prescribed limit for the EVOO category in oils stored with immersed C1 and C2, which indicated that standard analytical parameters are ineffective as tools to examine the declared quality and authenticity of such topping oils. The noted changes in fatty acid profile were primarily prescribed to the migration of fats. C1 and C2 influenced a comparable reduction in EVOO total identified phenolic content (-92.1% and -93.5%, respectively), despite having a different content of total proteins and moisture, whereas C3 influenced a slightly lower reduction (-85.0%). Besides the protein profile, other cheese compounds (e.g., moisture, carbohydrates) have been shown to have a considerable role in the development of the EVOO phenolic profile. Finally, compositional changes in EVOO used as a medium for cheese preservation are under significant influence of the cheese's chemical composition.

ABSTRACT

Croatian islands are olive growing areas characterized by poor conditions for olive trees because of karst soil and a precipitation deficiency. Under these conditions, irrigation is a very important factor for constant olive oil production. This paper aims to investigate the effects of different watering regimes on quantity, sensory and chemical quality and composition of Coratina cv. olive oil obtained from trees grown on ameliorate karst soil during two harvesting years. Olive trees were subjected to rainfed conditions and three different irrigation treatments (T1-deficit irrigation representing the usual producer's practice, T2-regulated deficit irrigation in respect to phenological stages, T3-full irrigation). Irrigation treatments increased oil yield compared to rainfed conditions (T1 + 58%, T2 + 66% and T3 + 74%, representing average values for both studied years). All olive oil samples were of extra quality. Irrigation led to a decrease in carotenoids, volatiles, polyunsaturated fatty acids and linolenic acid contents, with no difference found among irrigation treatments. Total phenols and secoiridoids concentration was not affected by irrigation, indicating that similar oil quality could be achieved with less demand on the water supply. Obtained results could help producers to define a suitable irrigation management in particular conditions of ameliorate karst.

ABSTRACT

With the aim to investigate the influence of post-harvest olive fruit storage temperatures on virgin olive oil production parameters, composition and quality, Istarska bjelica (IB) and Rosinjola (RO) fruits were stored for seven days at room temperature (RT), +4 °C and -20 °C prior to oil production. Lower temperatures delayed post-harvest maturation of IB fruits. Theoretical oil content did not change depending on the storage temperature, while the highest oil yield and extractability index were obtained after storage at RT. Chlorophylls decreased in IB-RT and in IB-20. A decrease in the sensory quality of oils was detected after fruit storage at RT and -20 °C, while the refrigeration temperature of +4 °C preserved it. Regarding the content of fatty acid ethyl esters, an increase was observed in IB-RT oils. Storage at RT increased the content of waxes, while the lower temperatures partially suppressed this phenomenon. In oils of both cultivars, storage at +4 °C preserved the concentration of most phenolic compounds at a level more similar to that of the fresh oil when compared to the other two treatments. In the production conditions, when prolonged fruit storage is necessary, refrigeration seems to be the most suitable option.
