Using fluorescence excitation-emission matrices to predict bitterness and pungency of virgin olive oil: A feasibility study
(Elsevier, 2022-06-29)
Unlike other food products, virgin olive oil must undergo an organoleptic assessment that is currently based on a trained human panel, which presents drawbacks that might affect the efficiency and ...
Catalan Virgin Olive Oil Protected Designations of Origin: Physicochemical and Major Sensory Attributes
(Wiley, 2019-01-01)
Catalonia, located in the northeast of Spain, comprises five extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) protected designations of origin (PDOs). Despite the proximity between them, these PDOs represent unique ...
Varietal authentication of virgin olive oil: Proving the efficiency of sesquiterpene fingerprinting for Mediterranean Arbequina oils
(Elsevier, 2021-04-28)
Virgin olive oil (VOO) is a highly appreciated product fundamental in the Mediterranean diet. Since its sensory attributes are greatly influenced by the olive cultivar, the varietal authentication of ...
Efect of freezing, fast‑freezing by liquid nitrogen or refrigeration to preserve premium extra virgin olive oil during storage
(Springer, 2022-07-09)
During storage, premium extra virgin olive oils (PEVOO), which are oils of exceptional sensory quality, may lose the organoleptic characteristics that define them. This study assessed the effect of ...
Geographical authentication of virgin olive oil by GC-MS sesquiterpene hydrocarbon fingerprint: Scaling down to the verification of PDO compliance
(Elsevier, 2022-04-26)
Nowadays, 144 Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) under the EU quality schemes correspond to extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). As endorsed by the EU Food ...
Effect of the Storage Conditions and Freezing Speed on the Color and Chlorophyll Profile of Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils
(MDPI, 2023-01-03)
Premium extra virgin olive oils (PEVOO) are oils of exceptional quality and retail at high prices. The green color of recently extracted olive oils is lost during storage at room temperature, mainly ...
Chemical markers to distinguish the homoand heterozygous bitter genotype in sweet almond kernels
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the ...
Subzero Temperature Storage to Preserve the Quality Attributes of Veiled Virgin Olive Oil
(MDPI, 2023-03-13)
Unfiltered olive oils (UO) have gained popularity in the global market, but they lose their quality characteristics faster than filtered oils (FO). In this work, refrigeration and freezing temperatures ...
