Olive (Olea europaea L.) is a significant crop especially in Mediterranean countries. In Turkey olives and olive oil have major agricultural importance Olives been used not only nutrient as flavor enhancer dishes, but also medicine because of having essential roles for human health. the pharmaceutical value uses are related to biochemical content compounds. Mainly four chemical sources: mono-un...

Baiano A., Terracone C., Viggiani I., Del Nobile M.A. (2014): Changes produced in extra-virgin olive oils from cv. Coratina during a prolonged storage treatment. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 1–9. Extra-virgin oil is obtained from olive fruits only by mechanical means. The quality of extra-virgin olive oils is affected mainly by hydrolytic and oxidative reactions. For this reason, the commercial shel...

This study investigates the potential use of olive aggregates (OA) in production cementitious materials as a substitute for natural sand to reduce excessive this resource. Two types OA were used: OPA (olive pomace aggregates) and OPMW (OPA mixed with mill wastewater). The aim was determine experimentally whether improvements mechanical properties produced lightened cement mortar could be obtain...

Field dry hay needs to be reduced from near 80% moisture to 20% or less to prevent spoilage during storage. Drying hay to safe baling moistures often takes several days. Sources of loss during forage harvest include mechanical losses such as mowing, conditioning, chopping, raking, packaging and handling as well as respiration and leaching. The general relationship between forage moisture concen...

Problem statement: Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW) is an ambivalent by-product of the olive oil production, which appears in huge amounts every year after the olive-harvest in the production countries, mainly in the Mediterranean region. OMW is characterized by a high organic load and i.a. contains considerable amounts of phytotoxical polyphenols, which cause important environmental problems. Appro...

Small producers confront specific challenges when they opt to produce high-quality olive fruit. Limited resources for investing in harvest machinery and manpower are the main reasons continuing a traditional method that puts final product its economic value at risk. This paper discusses efficiency of an integrated system as possible solution these challenges. The is formed by newly designed man...

This study aimed at assessing the biobleachability of soda pulps obtained from olive tree pruning residue. The enzymatic (LMS) pretreatment was applied prior to a simple totally chlorine free (TCF) bleaching sequence, consisting of an alkaline extraction and a hydrogen peroxide stage. Additionally, the effect of adding xylanase jointly with or prior to LMS was evaluated. All of these enzymatic ...
