Fatty acid ethyl esters are the newest mandatory quality parameters introduced for extra virgin olive oil classification linked to fermentative processes occurring in low-quality olives. Although it is clear the strong linkage of ethyl esters with sensory fermentative defects there is a lack of knowledge about their relationship with specific volatile compounds. Hence, a study was carried out to evaluate the correlation among extra virgin olive oil quality indices and its respective volatile profile with fatty acid ethyl esters. Thirty-five virgin olive oils were collected from local oily industry and analysed for the fatty acid ethyl esters content, the basic quality parameters, the total phenolic content and the volatile profile. The obtained results showed that the fatty acid ethyl esters were negatively correlated to total phenolic compounds (p<0.05) and trans-2-hexenal content (p<0.001) while positively correlated (p<0.001) to ethyl acetate and ethyl acetate/trans-2-hexenal and ethyl acetate/hexanal ratios. Interestingly, ethanol was not correlated at all with the ethyl esters content in oils.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to simulate olive oil use and to monitor changes in the profile of fatty acids in home-made preparations using olive oil, which involve repeated heat treatment cycles. The material used in the experiment consisted of extra virgin and refined olive oil samples. Fatty acid profiles of olive oil samples were monitored after each heating cycle (10 min). The outcomes showed that cycles of heat treatment cause significant (p < 0.05) differences in the fatty acid profile of olive oil. A similar trend of differences (p < 0.05) was found between fatty acid profiles in extra virgin and refined olive oils. As expected, the main differences occurred in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Cross-correlation analysis also showed differences between the fatty acid profiles. The most prolific changes were observed between the control samples and the heated (at 180°C) samples of refined olive oil in PUFAs, though a heating temperature of 220°C resulted in similar decrease in MUFAs and PUFAs, in both extra virgin and refined olive oil samples. The study showed differences in fatty acid profiles that can occur during the culinary heating of olive oil. Furthermore, the study indicated that culinary heating of extra virgin olive oil produced results similar to those of the refined olive oil heating at a lower temperature below 180°C.

This study aimed to characterize and compare pili (Canarium ovatum Engl.) pulp oil from two different varieties of pili fruits in Bicol, Philippines namely M. Orolfo and Orbase varieties for possible utilization into oil-based products. The effects of varietal differences in pili fruits on physical, chemical and quality characteristics of its pulp oil were determined. These two oils were also compared with control oils, commercially available coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. Pili pulp oil from M. Orolfo had dark color while Orbase had color close to extra virgin olive oil. The two varieties did not significantly differ from each other in terms of refractive index, moisture and volatile matters, acid value, iodine value, saponification number and percent unsaponifiable matter but significantly differed from coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. On the other hand, the two varieties significantly differed from each other in terms of peroxide value, Vitamin A and α-tocopherol contents. In terms of fatty acid profile, high amounts of palmitic acid were determined in both pili varieties (19-25%) compared with coconut oil (6.34%). Oleic acid in Orbase was 71.5% while M. Orolfo had 58.1%, which are comparable with extra virgin olive oil (77.9%). Pili pulp oils from M. Orolfo and Orbase can be utilized into oilbased products because its chemical and quality characteristics are within the standard. Both can be stored for a longer period of time and healthier in terms of fatty acid composition and natural antioxidant content.

In this study Turkish monocultivar extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) “Sarı Ulak” was extracted by using the Mobile Olive Oil Processing Unit (TEM Oliomio 500-2GV, Italy). Changes in minor and major components and quality characteristics, free fatty acid content, peroxide value and UV absorbance value, were surveyed during a year’s storage period. “Sarı Ulak” olive oil samples were classified as EVOO according to the trade standards of the International Olive Council (IOC) based on free fatty acid, peroxide value, K232 and ΔK values up to the eighth month of the storage period. The results have shown that color values of EVOO changed from green to yellow slowly while UV absorbance values changed during storing. Total polyphenol content of extra virgin olive oil decreased from 205.17 ppm to 144.29 ppm during a year’s storage. Luteolin was the most abundant phenolic compound, and its concentration changed from 184.33 ppm to 115.06 ppm. Apigenin concentration was differed from 2.67 to 1.06 ppm during storing. The initial level of α-tocopherol contents was 184.51 ppm, it decreased to 147 ppm at the end of storage time. After 12 months of storing, about 20 % of α-tocopherol content was destroyed. The amounts of phenolic and tocopherol isomers decreased during storage as expected.

In the course of a case study, a number of issues regarding the dynamics of blood cholesterol levels were identified. In this follow-up report, these issues are addressed. For example, issues of past behaviour and seasonality, intraindividual variation, and nonstationarity appear important over and above controllable variables such as diet and exercise. In this report, we conceptualise an alternative protective role for the dynamic blood cholesterol levels in a healthy population. Furthermore, regular consumption of extra virgin olive oil as produced in this case study may interact with the dynamics of cholesterol naturally. We recommend that future studies of this kind ought to include a time series of blood cholesterol based on daily measurements or intervals much shorter than the bimonthly measurements and to include measures of overall well being as covariates.

SummaryThe duration of the effect of a short-course (1-mo twice-daily) supplementation of moderate amounts (2.28 g) of n-3 fatty acid ethyl esters (FA) on platelet lipid composition and aggregation was compared with that of olive oil (3 g/d) supplementation in 14 healthy volunteers. The FA preparation employed contained eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) in a ratio of 1:1.4. A marked rise (p <0.05) in the plasma and platelet content of EPA and DHA, and minimal changes in the content of arachidonic acid (AA) were documented at withdrawal of the n-3 FA supplementation. EPA/AA and DHA/AA ratios in platelet phospholipids showed that the FA accumulation persisted 8-12 wks after stopping the supplementation (p <0.05). The aggregation of platelets in response to collagen or ADP, and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) formation were impaired at withdrawal. The impaired aggregation lasted 8-12 weeks (p always <0.05), whereas TXB2 formation returned to basal values 4 weeks after stopping the n-3 supplementation. No correlation was found between impaired aggregation and TXB2 formation. In contrast, the impaired sensitivity to ADP (p = 0.036) and, to a lesser extent, to collagen (p = 0.068) were related to changes in the intracellular pH (pHi) of the Na+/H+ reverse transport. No changes in platelet composition or function were observed either during or following olive oil supplementation. These results document a long-lasting impairment of platelet sensitivity to ADP and collagen; changes in the pHi values of the Na+/H+ reverse transport, and a simultaneous persistent accumulation of EPA and DHA in platelet phospholipids, after stopping a short-course dietary supplementation of moderate amounts of n-3 fatty acid ethyl esters.
