Trunk Diameter Fluctuation Indicators in Table Olive

2 The aim of this study was to establish threshold TGR and MDS values which could be 3 used in regulated deficit irrigation in future work. Three irrigation treatments were 4 performed during three seasons in a 37 year-old table olive orchard in Seville (Spain). 5 Control treatment was irrigated with 125% of the crop evapotranspiration. Regulated 6 deficit irrigation (RDI) treatments were perfo...

In Vitro Selection and Characterization of New Probiotic Candidates from Table Olive Microbiota

To date, only a few studies have investigated the complex microbiota of table olives in order to identify new probiotic microorganisms, even though this food matrix has been shown to be a suitable source of beneficial lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Two hundred and thirty eight LAB, belonging to Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus and Leuconostoc mesenteroides species, and isolated from...

Effects of Climate Change on Olive Cultivation and Table Olive and Olive Oil Quality

Climate change is undoubtedly the most imminent environmental issue the world is facing today. Climate changes could heavily affect olive oil producing areas, especially in the Mediterranean basin. Olive trees are tougher than vines and can thrive on many different terrains and under various climate conditions. Researchers reported that a key area of Spanish olive oil production in Catalonia ma...

In vitro screening of relative bioaccessibility of carotenoids from foods.

Carotenoids are lipophilic pigments in plant foods that are of particular interest as precursors of vitamin A, a nutrient required for vision, cell differentiation, and the immune system. In order to mediate such activities, carotenoids and their metabolites must be absorbed for delivery to tissues. Unlike many other dietary lipids, the efficiency of carotenoid absorption is typically inefficie...
