Composting olive mill pomace and other residues from rural southeastern Spain.
The costly disposal of the semisolid residual pomace generated in the two phase extraction used in modern olive mills is causing serious problems to the small oil producers of rural southeastern Spain. Composting may be a viable alternative since complementary residues are usually available in these areas to prepare an adequate starting mixture. In this work, four different combinations of resi...
متن کاملSustainable cultivation of olive trees by reusing olive mill wastes after effective co-composting treatment processes
Olive oil production is associated with extremely polluting byproducts causing serious environmental problems in most Mediterranean countries. These highly polluting residues are currently disposed of in the soil, rivers or lakes or where treatment methods have been applied, they were proven insufficient or nonfeasible under the Greek situation. On the other hand strict EU environmental legisla...
متن کاملComposting of the solid fraction of olive mill wastewater with olive leaves: organic matter degradation and biological activity.
The flocculated solid fraction of olive mill wastewaters, obtained from two different olive oil extraction systems (FOMW1 and FOMW2) was composted, with olive leaves (OL) as bulking agent, by the static pile system (Rutgers). The dynamic of organic matter (OM) degradation during composting and its relationship with the basal respiration and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolytic activity, as in...
متن کاملXanthan Production from Olive-Mill Wastewaters
Olive mill wastewaters (OMW) are a by-product from olive oil manufacture that cause environmental pollution. These wastes have been used as substrate for the production of the extracellular polysaccharide xanthan by Xanthomonas campestris NRRL 31459-S4L41. Growth and xanthan production on dilute OMW as a sole source of nutrients were obtained at OMW concentrations below 60%, yielding a maxima1 ...
متن کاملAntifungal Activity of Phenolic Compounds Extracted from Dried Olive Pomace
The antifungal activity of phenolic compounds extracted from olive pomace against Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium culmorum was investigated. Olive pomace, a by-product of olive oil production, was used as a source of phenolic compounds. The extracted phenolics were added to a medium to reach phenol concentration of 0.1 and 0.2 % (w/v) and tested for their antifungal activity ag...
