Olive oil in general due to it monounsaturation, stability, nutritive value, consistency, taste andaroma might be considered as a valuable and luxury oil. Annual importation of olive oil to Iran fromMediterranean countries is on a large scale although some olive oils are produced in Iran particularly in the northand some plantation has been applied in different provinces particularly in Fars. T...

Introduction. Edible oils containing > 60 % monoenoic acids (i. e. oleic acid), in particular olive oil and Canola oil have been shown to exhibit beneficial effects on lipid metabolism in human (LDL-cholesterol blood levels, triacylglycerol blood levels) within the last few years [1]. These findings are in contrast to earlier recommandations by nutrition experts who strongly favored high-linole...

Determining of chilling and heat requirements of olive cultivars growing in Fars Province is important for the selection of cultivars that will exhibit satisfactory growth and development. The purposes of this study were determining the chilling and heat requirements of olive and comparison of Utah and Positive Utah Chill unit (PCU) models for determining the chilling requireme...

The present study investigated the effect of feeding maize-oil, olive-oil and fish-oil diets, from weaning to adulthood, on rat mammary tissue and erythrocyte phospholipid fatty acid compositions. Effects of diet on the relative proportions of membrane phospholipids in the two tissues were also investigated. Mammary tissue phosphatidylinositol (PI) fatty acids were unaltered by diet, but differ...

Albania has an annual production capacity of ca. 50 000 tons of olive fruits and 6000 tons of olive oil. The corresponding cultivation area covers 41000 ha, distributed over 90 000 small farms. In total, olive trees area covers 6.3% of the total arable land. This paper, presents the characterizes the fatty acid profile and total phenolic content of 6 olive varieties, namely, Kalinjot, Ulli i ba...

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an economical fruit tree for the usage of oil extraction and table olives. It favored by consumers because abundant unsaturated fatty acids flavonoids, but little known about genetic mechanisms. This study identifies traits three olive cultivars ‘Arbequina’, ‘Frantoio selection’ ‘Nikitskii ?’, first planted in conditions acid soil rainy summer further elucidates flav...

This study was conducted to find the effects of fruit ripening and extraction method on the quantity and quality of the Koroneiki olive oil. The oil samples extracted in six ripening stages were used for further quality analysis. Quality assessment of the oil was conducted according to the standard methods and the composition of fatty acids was measured by gas chromatography. The results showed...

Numerous medical studies (a study in seven countries, Monika study, Dart studies, etc. ) have shown that olive oil is one of the most important ingredient of "Mediterranean diet" associated with a reduction in cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancerous diseases. Nutritional and health value of virgin olive oil is attributed to the large proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids (main...
