Sensory Perceptions of Virgin Olive Oil: New Panel Evaluation Method and the Chemical Compounds Responsible
نویسندگان
چکیده
The stimulation of the human sensory receptors by compounds present in virgin olive oils (VOOs) gives rise to the sensory attributes that describe its particular aroma. The sensor panel evaluation and the molecules responsible for sensory perceptions of virgin olive oil quality are elucidated. The methodology for the evaluation of the sensory characteristics of VOOs is reported, and typical flavours and off-flavours are described. Relationships between chemical compounds and sensory characteristics are evaluated using the new sensory analyses method promoted by the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC) and included recently in EU regulation (Reg. 1348/2013 and following revisions). Oil quality may be defined in a number of ways, but the sensory perception of flavour is the ultimate determinant.

The Compounds Responsible for the Sensory Profile in Monovarietal Virgin Olive Oils.
Monovarietal virgin olive oils (VOOs) are very effective to study relationships among sensory attributes, the compounds responsible for flavour, and factors affecting them. The stimulation of the human sensory receptors by volatile and non-volatile compounds present in monovarietal virgin olive oils gives rise to the sensory attributes that describe their peculiar delicate and fragrant flavours...
متن کاملRelationship 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...
متن کاملSensory Defects of Virgin Olive Oil from a Microbiological Perspective
Virgin olive oil is the juice from the olive drupe, a produce that usually features high 6 quality. However, virgin olive oils produced in different regions of the world suffer from 7 defects, most of them of sensory nature. The largest amount of olive oil in which some 8 organoleptic defect is present matches to the Virgin Olive Oil (VOO) class. The causes 9 leading to sensory defects in virgi...
متن کاملSensory and Chemical Analyses of Monovarietal Olive Oils from Lake Garda (Northern Italy)
The qualitative description of an olive oil should be based not only on chemical and physical analyses but also on sensory evaluation. The present study was designed to evaluate by sensory analysis the monovarietal oils from olive accessions in a germplasm collection in northern Italy’s Lake Garda area. Relationships of chemical and sensory evaluation were studied by correlation and multiple re...
متن کاملOlive Oil Composition: Volatile Compounds
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. Volatil...
