چکیده

In general olive oil is defined on the basis of its sensory characteristics. European Union (EU) regulations establish the organoleptic quality of virgin olive oil by means of a panel test, evaluating positive and negative descriptors (EU regulations). For the organoleptic assessment, several volatile compounds are considered as the main responsible for negative and positive attributes. Volatile compounds, either major or minor, are crucial to olive oil quality; even when present below their olfactory threshold, they can still be important to understand their formation and degradation pathways and provide useful quality marker information.

Relationship between volatile compounds of olive oil and sensory attributes

This study was carried out to study some quality indices (acid value, peroxide value and UV absorption K232nm, K270nm and ∆K) of virgin olive oil of three varieties (Coratina, Koronakii and Picual) at two stages of ripening. Also, organoleptic tests, phenolic content, αtocopherol and oxidative stability measured by Rancimat method at 100 ̊C were determined. Fatty acid composition and volatile co...

Determination of Volatiles by Odor Activity Value and Phenolics of cv. Ayvalik Early-Harvest Olive Oil

Ayvalik is an important olive cultivar producing high quality oils in Turkey. In the present study, volatile and phenolic compositions of early-harvest extra virgin olive oil (cv. Ayvalik) were determined. The solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) technique was used for the extraction of volatile components. The aromatic extract obtained by SAFE was representative of the olive oil odor. A ...

Pedologic Factors Affecting Virgin Olive Oil Quality of "Chemlali" Olive Trees (Olea europaea L.).

The aim of this study examined the characterization of extra virgin olive oil samples from the main cultivar Chemlali, grown in five olive orchards with different soil type (Sandy, Clay, Stony, Brown, Limestone and Gypsum). Volatile compounds were studied using headspace-solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technics. Moreover, the sterol profil...

Olive oil volatile compounds, flavour development and quality: A critical review

The unique and delicate flavour of olive oil is attributed to the volatile compounds that develop during and after oil extraction from the olive fruit. The formation of these volatile compounds and the fruit characteristics that affect the formation are examined in this review. The role of extraction time -temperature interactions in volatile development and other factors that impact volatile d...
