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 ...
Effect of Hopper Loading on the Formation of Alkyl Alcohols in Olive Fruits and Its Relationship with Sensory Quality Losses of Virgin Olive Oil
(MDPI, 2023-07-07)
The storage of olives in large hoppers is a widespread practice in oil mills, but these large
volumes and their unloading can cause a physical deterioration of the olives that will affect the quality
of ...
Survey of over 4, 500 monumental olive trees preserved on-farm in the northeast Iberian Peninsula, their genotyping and characterization
(Elsevier, 2017-12-29)
Inventorying, characterising and conserving on-farm ancient olive trees is a priority for safeguarding their genetic, natural and agricultural value and for protecting ancient genotypes threatened with ...
Cross-incompatibility in the cultivated almond (Prunus dulcis): Updating, revision and correction
(Elsevier, 2018-10-24)
Most almond cultivars are self-incompatible, and so to obtain a yield they need to be pollinated with cross-compatible cultivars. For an efficient use of these cultivars in growing and breeding, over ...
Agronomical and Physiological Behavior of Spanish Hazelnut Selection “Negret-N9” Grafted on Non-suckering Rootstocks
(Frontiers Media, 2022-02-01)
“Negret” is the most widely planted hazelnut cultivar in Northeastern Spain, where it is highly appreciated by the local kernel marked for its favorable nut traits. Its main disadvantages are the high ...

(MDPI, 2022-08-17)
Almond, one of the most characteristic crops in the agricultural landscape of Mallorca Island, cultivated mainly under rainfed conditions and from native cultivars, represents an important source of ...
Processing factors that affect the balance of alcohols and alkyl esters during ‘Arbequina’ olive oil production: Separation and clarification steps
(Elsevier, 2021-06-03)
The aim of this study was to assess how different conditions used on the centrifugation step during olive oil extraction affect its quality by considering the balance of fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAEs) ...
GC-MS/LC-MS and transcriptome analyses revealed the metabolisms of fatty acid and flavonoid in olive fruits (Olea europaea L.)
(Elsevier, 2022-03-09)
Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an economical fruit tree for the usage of oil extraction and table olives. It is favored by consumers because of abundant unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoids, but little ...
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 ...
