Regulated deficit irrigation in super-high-density (SHD) olive orchards is a well-known strategy to save water and control plant vigor, without decreasing fruit or oil yield. As there controversial information about its influence on virgin quality, trial was conducted five SHD of Arbequina cultivar different locations central, east, north northeast Spain under full (FI) regulated (RDI) treatmen...

The aim of this study was to compare the contents of the main biochemical compounds and the antioxidant capacity of five Spanish olive oils by four different antioxidant tests and to find out the most valuable oil for disease preventing diets. Fatty acids, sterols and individual antioxidant compounds in Arbequina, Hojiblanca, Extra Virgin, Picual and Lampante Spanish olive oils were determined....

Arbequina extra-virgin olive oils were flavored with lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) essential oil (0.1–0.4%, w/w), being evaluated quality parameters (free acidity, peroxide value, UV-extinction coefficients), oxidative stability, antioxidant and total reducing capacity. The kinetic-thermodynamic nature of the lipid oxidation was by Rancimat (110–150 °C). addition promoted capacities but, un...

An analysis is presented of the response olive oil production and quality parameters, viz. fatty acids (palmitic, oleic linoleic acids), phenolic compounds oxidative stability to hedgerow spacing orientation in 1-m wide super-high-density orchards cv. Arbequina. Data reveal strong linear relationships between concentrations internal irradiance within hedgerows, positive for palmitic but negativ...

Climatic changes impact fruit tree growth and severely limit their production. Investigating the tree ability to cope with environmental variations is thus necessary to adapt breeding and management strategies in order to ensure sustainable production. In this study, we assessed the genetic parameters and genotype by environment interaction (GxE) during the early tree growth. One hundred and tw...
