Quality and stability of olive oil extracted using discontinuous (pressing) or continuous (centrifuging) procedures were studied. Virgin olive oils extracted from two olive varieties were stored for 17 months. Analytical parameters of oil quality (acidity, peroxide value, polyphenol content, chlorophyll amount, fatty acid composition and triacylglycerol molecular species) were followed at diffe...

The production of olive oil in Morocco has recently grown considerably for its economic and nutritional importance favored by the country's climate. After the extraction of olive oil by pressing or centrifuging, the obtained liquid contains oil and vegetation water which is subsequently separated by decanting or centrifugation. Despite its treatment throughout the extraction process, this olive...

Olive-oil production is of vital importance for the economy and social life of the Mediterranean region; however, the side effect of the olive-oil mill activity is the generation of enormous quantities of biotoxic olive-mill waste within a short period of three months. Numerous physicochemical and biological methods have been used in the past for the treatment of both olive mill wastewater (OMW...

abstract: olives belong to the family of olea europaea l. is a popular fruit tree. the fruit and the oil extracted from it is consumed worldwide particularly in the mediterranean regions. in this study changes in the fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from olive fruit during the course of maturation is investigated. this work is concerned with the best harvesting point when oleic acid ...

This data article refers to the paper "Towards green analysis of virgin olive oil phenolic compounds: extraction by a natural deep eutectic solvent and direct spectrophotometric detection" [1]. A deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on lactic acid and glucose was used as green solvent for phenolic compounds. Eight standard phenolic compounds were solubilized in the DES. Then, a set of extra virgin...

Tiger nut oil is a novel oil that requires more research data on its characteristics. In this study, the oil was extracted using both enzyme-aided pressing (EAP) and aqueous enzymatic extraction (AEE) methods. Using enzymes as a pre-treatment prior to mechanical pressing increased the concentration of some phenolic acids and tocopherols present in extracted oils compared to controls. High press...

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 ...

abstract: in this study, an analytical method is developed to determine 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in olive and refined pomace olive oils using hplc coupled with a fluorescence detector. the standardised method of ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction consisted of liquid–liquid extraction with organic solvent and purification on c18 and florisil bonded-phase cartridges was modi...

This study was carried outto investigate the effect of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on polyphenols from olive pomace with methanol (80%) as an extracting medium and studythe effects of addingthe extract to refined sunflower oilduring accelerated oxidationconditions. Ahigh amount of polyphenols was extracted from the olive pomace with a solvent-to-solid ratio of 40 at 50% of the maximum ...
