The area of the Garda Lake within the Trentino province (north of Italy) is the northernmost part of Europe where the Mediterranean species Olea europaea L. is traditionally cultivated. ‘Casaliva’ is claimed as the main variety traditionally grown in the Garda Trentino area (GT) from which a world renowned niche extra virgin olive oil is produced. Since a dominant presence of ‘Casaliva’ would link the fruit set success and yield to a self-pollination compatibility system, a deep genetic survey of the olive tree population in the GT has been performed with the aim of establishing the actual varietal composition and of understanding from which pollen donor the ‘Casaliva’ olives originate. Forty-four different genetic profiles were observed among the 205 leaf samples collected from 106 ancient trees through the analysis of 20 nuclear microsatellite markers. The varietal composition in modern orchards was also explored and the vast majority of the additional 151 trees analyzed showed the same genotype as the ancient accessions of ‘Casaliva’. The results support the long historical link of ‘Casaliva’ with the GT and, besides a high varietal homogeneity, they also revealed the presence of olive genetic resources essential to fruit production. In fact, the parentage analysis of 550 embryos from drupes of ‘Casaliva’ evidenced that a cross-fertilization system is favored and a list of candidate cultivars most suitable as local pollinizers of ‘Casaliva’ was identified.

Olea Europaéa

Olea europaea L. fruit is a peculiar vegetal matrix containing high levels of fatty acids (98–99% of the total weight of extra-virgin olive oil, EVOO) and low quantities (1–2%) of phenolics, phytosterols, tocopherols, and squalene. Among these minor components, phenolics are relevant molecules for human health. This review is focused on their beneficial activity, in particular of hydroxytyrosol (HT), oleuropein (OLE), oleocanthal (OLC), and lignans found in EVOO, olive oil by-products and leaves. Specifically, the cardioprotective properties of the Mediterranean diet (MD) related to olive oil consumption, and the biological activities of polyphenols recovered from olive oil by-products and leaves were described. Recent European projects such as EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) and EPICOR (long-term follow-up of antithrombotic management patterns in acute coronary syndrome patients) have demonstrated the functional and preventive activities of EVOO showing the relation both between cancer and nutrition and between consumption of EVOO, vegetables, and fruit and the incidence of coronary heart disease. The data reported in this review demonstrate that EVOO, one of the pillars of the MD, is the main product of Olea europaea L. fruits; leaves and by-products are secondary but precious products from which bioactive compounds can be recovered by green technologies and reused for food, agronomic, nutraceutical, and biomedical applications according to the circular economy strategy.

Minyak zaitun adalah minyak nabati yang diperoleh dari tanaman zaitun (olea europaea). Minyak zaitun dapat digunakan untuk memasak, bahan obat-obatan, dan sabun. Setiap bahan termasuk minyak zaitun memiliki sifat-sifat fisika dan besarnya sangat ditentukan oleh kondisi internal bahan tersebut. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui lebar kurva histerisis melalui pengukuran konstanta dielektrik dan indeks bias. Bahan yang diteliti berupa 3 jenis minyak zaitun. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kapasitansimeter dan difraksi Fraunhofer celah ganda. Diketahui bahwa ketiga jenis minyak zaitun memiliki lebar kurva histerisis yang berbeda pada pengukuran konstanta dielektrik maupun indeks bias dengan variasi suhu. Hubungan antara nilai konstanta dielektrik terhadap suhu menunjukkan peningkatan, sedangkan untuk nilai indeks bias menunjukkan penurunan. Pada pengukuran konstanta dielektrik menunjukkan bahwa minyak zaitun virgin olive oil memiliki lebar kurva histerisis paling besar dibandingkan minyak zaitun extra virgin olive oil dan extra light olive oil. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa minyak zaitun virgin olive oil memiliki kemampuan paling besar untuk menyimpan enegi termal. Sedangkan pada pengukuran indeks bias menunjukkan bahwa minyak zaitun extra virgin olive oil memiliki lebar kurva histerisis paling besar dibandingkan minyak zaitun extra light olive oil dan virgin olive oil,. Hal ini juga menunjukkan bahwa minyak zaitun extra virgin olive oil memiliki kemampuan paling besar untuk menyimpan enegi termal. Kata Kunci: Minyak zaitun, konstanta dielektrik, indeks bias, metode kapasitansimeter, metode difraksi Fraunhofer, kurva histerisis
