To study the in ̄uence of operative conditions adopted during the malaxation of pastes on the quality of resulting oils, we compared sensory characteristics, secoiridoid compounds and the volatile composition of oils extracted from homogeneous batches of olive fruits from Coratina and Frantoio cultivars by using di€erent malaxation times and temperatures. Malaxation time, and especially temperat...

The operative conditions of malaxation such as temperature and time of exposure of olive pastes to air contact (TEOPAC) affect volatile and phenolic composition of virgin olive oil (VOO) and, as a consequence, its sensory and healthy qualities. In this paper, optimal temperature and TEOPAC during malaxation were studied, in lab scale, in two Italian cultivars using phenolic compounds, volatile ...

A strategy to increase shelf life of Empeltre olive oils could consist in the incorporation flavoring agents (rich antioxidant compounds). The aim this study was describe quality flavored with rosemary and garlic at different concentrations methods (maceration co-processing during malaxation). malaxation increased total phenol content capacity. Aromatization (added malaxation) more than 50%. Ch...

olive oil is one of the oldest known vegetable oils, ranking sixth in world production. since it is extractedfrom fresh fruit and used without aging, the conditions of oil production are very important. during theextraction of virgin olive oil, the milling and malaxation steps are vital for increasing oil yield and quality.in this study, the effect of milling (single or double), temperature of ...

The evolution of the main phenolic secoiridoid compounds throughout the different stages of the virgin olive oil making process-crushing, malaxation and liquid-solid separation-is studied here, with the goal of making possible the prediction of the partition and transformation that take place in the different steps of the process. The concentration of hydroxytyrosol secoiridoids produced under ...

Aims: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of industrial-scale continuous extraction process stages (crushing, malaxation and decantation) on physicochemical (oil contents, L*, a*, b*, free acidity, peroxide values) bioactive properties (total phenolic content, antioxidant activity compounds) olive oil. Methods Results: The samples olive, paste after crushing malaxation, oil de...

In plant tissues, enzymes implicated in the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway are responsible for the hydroperoxydation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, ultimately leading to the production of small chemical species involved in several physiological processes. During industrial olive oil production, these enzymes are activated upon crushing and grinding of olive fruit tissue, subsequently leading to th...
