Chemical composition of virgin olive oils according to the ripening in olives
Food Chemistry, 2013
The aim of this study was the classification of olive oil according to the stage of ripeness of the olives used for its manufacture. A discriminant analysis was applied taking as dependent variables the fatty acids, triglycerides and sterols profile. The evolution of parameters of quality of the oils during ripening of the fruit has also been studied in three successive crops. The results of the classification shows that 88.5% of selected original grouped cases are correctly classified (85.7% green, 80% spotted and 78.9% ripe) and furthermore the validation classified the 69.6% of the unselected original cases. The most discriminating variables have been: avenasterol, linolenic acid, b-sitosterol and gadoleico. Fig. 1 shows graphically the values of the canonical discriminant functions and the centroids of the intervals of three or the maturity index.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of olive ripening on the oil content of olive fruit, the quality indices, fatty acid composition, sterols, waxes, o-diphenols and oxidative stability of Memecik cv. and Ayvalık cv. olive oil of organic cultivation and to determine optimum harvesting time for these varieties. The results showed that free fatty acid content and peroxide value increase while MUFA/PUFA ratio, o-diphenols and oxidative stability decrease at more advanced stages of maturity. Statistical analysis demonstrated that fatty acid composition and sterol profile were different according to olive variety and harvesting periods. Principal Component Analyses showed that fatty acid composition and sterol profile of olive oils were responsible for discrimination of olive oils obtained from different olive varieties at different ripening stages. The optimum harvesting time was determined as when the maturity index was determined as 2.09 and 2.6 for Memecik and Ayvalık varieties, respectively. Due to the growing interest in organic olive oil in the national and international markets, more researches that investigate the effects of ripening, olive variety and organic cultivation method on the quality of olive oil require.

The fatty acid composition has been traditionally used to discriminate the different vegetable oils and confirm their authenticity. The aim of the present study was to check the possible use of the fatty acid profile to differentiate varietal olive oils of the three most important cultivars in Northeast Portugal (Cobrançosa, Madural and Verdeal). Fifteen varietal olive oils from each of the three cultivars were collected to achieve that goal. Fatty acids were determined, as methylesters, by HRGC. Methylesters were prepared by transesterefication with BF 3 /methanol after saponification with methanolic KOH. The fatty acid pattern was performed with a Chrompack CP9001 equipped with a split-splitless injector, a FID and a 50m x 0,25 mm i.d. fused silica capillary column coated with a 0.19µ µ µ µm film of CP-Sil88 (Chrompack). The temperatures of injector, detector and oven were 230, 250 and 185ºC, respectively. The results as shown by two-way Anova techniques and discriminant analysis demonstrate that C 16:1 c, C 17:1 , C 18 , C 18:1 c, C 18:2 cc and C 18:3 ccc can be used to discriminate the origin of each of the three olive oils.
Chemical characterization of traditional varietal olive oils in East of Spain
Food Research International, 2013
The aim of this work has been to characterize the chemical composition of the eight most emblematic varietal olive oils from the West of the Mediterranean Sea. These were classified into two groups according to the International Olive Council (IOC norms): Sweet oils (Farga, Morruda and Serrana) which were compared with Arbequina as standard of the Spanish sweet oils; and bitter-spicy oils (Alfafara, Blanqueta, and Villalonga) that were compared with Picual, considered as the standard of the bitter-spicy olive oils. For the study, sampled trees were chosen in their geographically separated originating areas. They were cultivated in the traditional conditions. The variety of each sampled tree was previously identified by the International Union for the Protection of new Varieties for Plants (UPOV TG/99/4). We have attempted to find differences between these varieties based on their fatty acid and sterol components. Although our results of only the sterols in olive oils suggested that stigmasterol could allow the segregation of the varieties, our experience indicates that analysis of the main fatty acids (palmitic, oleic and linoleic), together with a PCA applied to all fatty acids and sterols, can be used to validate the varietal determinations with enough precision. In addition, α-tocopherol can be used as differentiator in bitter-spicy oils.

This work aimed to assess the influence of olive maturity and oil season on the potential quality of monovarietal virgin olive oils from the area assigned to the Protected Designation of Origin of “Aceite de la Alcarria” (Spain), analysing the regulated physicochemical quality and sensory parameters, the stability parameters and composition of fatty acids, sterols and triterpenic dialcohols. To complete the study, we also characterised the coupage olive oils made in the oil mills located in the PDO area (real quality). The main variety grown in La Alcarria is Castellana, whose oils are characterised by a high content of palmitic acid (14.27% with olives in veraison, 13.81% with ripe olives), a low content of linoleic acid (5.03% with olives in veraison, 5.98% with ripe olives) and a total phenol content higher than the rest of varieties grown in the area (between 350 and 500 mg of caffeic acid/kg depending on the season considered), which is reflected in higher oxidative stability v...
Preliminary characterisation of virgin olive oils obtained from different cultivars in Sardinia
European Food Research and Technology, 2006
Chemical characterisation was carried out on 12 virgin olive oil samples obtained from seven olive cultivars (Bosana, Carolea, Nocellara del Belice, Pizz'e Carroga, Semidana, Tonda and Zinzala cvs.). The olives came from different groves in Sardinia (Italy) and Corsica (France) that were processed by different types of continuous mills. Several qualitative parameters were evaluated (free acidity, peroxide value, and UV spectrophotometric indices) and analyses of major (fatty acids and triacylglycerol compositions) and minor components (chlorophylls, carotenoids, tocopherols and phenolic compounds) was also carried out. The oxidative stability index (OSI) and ABTS •− test values were determined to evaluate the oxidative stability and antioxidant activity of the phenolic fraction, respectively. The results were subjected to a discriminative study by principal component analysis (PCA) to characterise the different oils. A first PCA using only the triglyceride compounds and a second using the minor polar compounds and their antioxidant activity was performed. The triglyceride composition was found to be particularly useful in discriminating the oil samples.

Principal component analysis (PCA), and soft independent modelling class analogy (SIMCA), were applied to data of content of the various triglycerides, sterols, or both data, to explore their capacity for the typification of a variety of olive oil, belonging to a Spanish origin denomination. This study has demonstrated that it is possible to characterize the oils obtained from a specific type of olives (''Manzanilla Cacereña'' of North of C aceres (Extremadura-Spain)) according to their chemical composition. Best results were obtained with the content of triglycerides. The plots of PCs showed that the PC1 is related with the category variable ''variety'' and the PC2 is related with ''maturity''. SIMCA was employed to assign unknown samples into one of two groups or classes, depending on the ''variety'' of olives, for those which independent PCA models were made. Comman's plot showed that different olive oils are clustered in different groups and each group could be distinguished clearly.

We studied the differences in the characteristics that typify virgin olive oils produced in three representative zones of Extremadura: Sierra Norte of Cáceres, Serena–Siberia, and Tierra de Barros. A total of 156 samples from those three zones were assayed for fatty acids, triglycerides, sterols, and erythrodiol + uvaol. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between the mean values of the parameters corresponding to the three zones. These profiles were then used to classify the varietal origin of the oils using the discriminant functions that had previously been defined by the authors for these parameters. This classification, together with the production data, confirmed the use of the different varieties of olives in the study zones. The results showed Manzanilla Cacereña to be the most used variety in the Sierra Norte of Cáceres zone, Cornezuelo and Verdial de Badajoz with a slight presence of Picual in the Serena–Siberia zone, and Carrasqueña and Morisca in Tierra de Barros.
Characterization of Monovarietal Argentinian Olive Oils from New Productive Zones
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 2007
Quality characteristics (acidity, peroxide value, K 232 , K 270 , DK, oxidative stability index) and chemical data (antioxidant compound, fatty-acid, sterol, erythrodioluvaol, and wax compositions) were studied in monovarietal virgin-olive oil samples (2004-2005 harvests) from different regions of Argentina. The data obtained according to standard methods were compared with international quality and purity criteria. The total-polyphenol content ranged from 25 to 263 mg/kg, showing the highest values for Coratina and Arauco oils. The a-tocopherol content varied between 160 and 428 mg/kg; these values are generally stated to belong to good quality oils. Most of the samples from the new productive zones failed at least one purity criterion. Arbequina samples presented the highest deviations from the International Olive Oil Council criteria in fatty acids, waxes, and sterol percentages, indicating a poor adaptation of this cultivar to the agronomic medium and its sensibility to adverse climatic conditions. Principal component analysis revealed that the harvest-year influence was attributable to environmental factors.

The effects of the geographical region and the botanical origin of olive oils on the profile of fatty acids isolated from monovarietal virgin olive oils from Cyprus were investigated, in order to establish, for the first time, promising models for authentication and classification of monovarietal virgin olive oils produced on the island. The two dominant Cypriot olive cultivars, Cypriot (ladoelia), and Koroneiki (lianolia), were analyzed for fatty acid composition by GC / FID after preparation of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters from olive oil, using a cold esterification method. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using multivariate and univariate ANOVA, principal components analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results showed that the olive oils can be separated into two distinct groups using the FAME data bank obtained from 225 samples. Significant differences in the proportion of some variables such as polyunsaturated linoleic acid, and the ratio C18:1 / C18:2 from oils of different varieties and geographical regions were detected. The ratios C18:1 / C18:2 and MUFA / PUFA, as well SFA, -9 and PUFA showed the higher discriminant power based on the cultivar.
