THE ANALYTICAL PATTERN OF VIRGIN OLIVE OILS PRODUCED BY TWO DIFFERENT EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES

A. Ranalli, S. Contento, E. Iannucci, G. Di Flaviano
A stone mill-integral decanter (SD) olive processing line was compared to a traditional stone mill-press (SP) line, a discontinuous method that, if properly used, yields high-quality virgin olive oils. The SD line gave average oil yields that were not statistically (p ≤ 0.05) different with “Dritta” olives (easy to process) and statistically but not substantially different with “Leccino” and “Cassanese” olives (not easy to process). The effects on the oil quality exerted by the processing method were modified by the olive variety factor. The levels of organophosphorous pesticide residues in the oils were independent of the processing method.
