Ripening-related cell wall modifications in olive (Olea europaea L.) fruit: A survey of nine genotypes
(Elsevier, 2020-08-04)
The production of olive (Olea europaea L.) is very important economically in many areas of the world, and particularly in countries around the Mediterranean basin. Ripening-associated modifications in ...
Quantitation of endogenous amount of ethanol, methanol and acetaldehyde in ripe fruits of different Spanish olive varieties
(Wiley, 2020-02-25)
BACKGROUND The use of healthy olives and their good management along the production process are necessary to obtain the best quality virgin olive oils. One parameter related to the health of the olives ...
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 ...
