Phenolic variability in fruit from the ‘Arbequina’ olive cultivar under Mediterranean and Subtropical climatic conditions

In the present work, we compared phenol content and composition of fruit from ‘Arbequina’ cultivar in four Mediterranean (in Andalucía, Southern Iberian Peninsula) two Sub-Tropical (Canary Islands) locations throughout harvest period. Two were maintained with drip irrigation, while remaining dry farming. Water availability date seemed to play more important roles than air temperature on phenolic most studied components. The variability associated location was a result high values observed farming, respect other irrigation. Few differences found among drip-irrigated locations, despite fact that Sub-Tropical. addition, sharp decrease during period for compounds.
