The aim of this work was to determine whether the lipoxygenase (LOX) activity is a limiting factor for the biosynthesis of virgin olive oil (VOO) volatile compounds during the oil extraction process. For this purpose, LOX activity load was modified during this process using exogenous LOX activity and specific LOX inhibitors on olive cultivars producing oils with different volatile profiles (Arbequina and Picual). Experimental data suggest that LOX activity is a limiting factor for the synthesis of the oil volatile fraction, this limitation being significantly higher in Picual cultivar than in Arbequina, in line with the lowest content of volatile compounds in the oils obtained from the former. Moreover, there is evidence that this limitation of LOX activity takes place mostly during the milling step in the process of olive oil extraction.  相似文献

The effect of O 2 concentration on oil volatile compounds synthesized during the process to obtain virgin olive oil (VOO) was established. The study was carried out either on the whole process or within the main steps (milling and malaxation) of this process with two olive cultivars, Picual and Arbequina, at two ripening stages. Data show that O 2 control during milling has a negative impact on VOO volatile synthesis. This effect seems to depend on cultivar and on the ripening stage in cultivar Picual. Because most VOO volatiles are synthesized during olive fruit crushing at the milling step, O 2 control during malaxation seems to affect just slightly the volatile synthesis. The highest effect was observed when control of O 2 concentration was performed over the whole process. In this case, the content of volatile compounds of oils obtained from both cultivars and ripening stages showed quite similar trends.  相似文献

The relationship between the content of nonesterified polyunsaturated fatty acids and the contents of oil aroma compounds that arise during the process to obtain virgin olive oil (VOO) was studied in two olive cultivars, Picual and Arbequina, producing oils with distinct aroma profiles and fatty acid compositions. Results suggest that the biosynthesis of VOO aroma compounds depends mainly on the availability of nonesterified polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linolenic acid, during the process and then on the enzymatic activity load of the lipoxygenase/hydroperoxide lyase system. Both availability of substrates and enzymatic activity load seem to be cultivar-dependent.  相似文献

Virgin olive oils were subjected to simulated common domestic processing, including frying, microwave heating, and boiling with water in a pressure cooker. The impact of these processes on polyphenol content and physicochemical characteristics of oils was assessed. Thermal oxidation of oils at 180 degrees C caused a significant decrease in hydroxytyrosol- and tyrosol-like substances. In contrast, oils heated for 25 h still retained a high proportion of the lignans 1-acetoxypinoresinol and pinoresinol. Thermal oxidation also resulted in a rapid degradation of alpha-tocopherol and the glyceridic fraction of oils. Microwave heating of oils for 10 min caused only minor losses in polyphenols, and the oil degradation was lower than that in thermoxidation assays. Again, lignans were the least affected polyphenols and did not change during microwave heating. Boiling a mixture of virgin olive oil and water in a pressure cooker for 30 min provoked the hydrolysis of the secoiridoid aglycons and the diffusion of the free phenolics hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol from the oil to the water phase. Losses of polyphenols were detected only at pH lower than 6. Moreover, alpha-tocopherol and the glyceridic fraction of oils were not modified during this process. It is worth noting that all the heating methods assayed resulted in more severe polyphenols losses and oil degradation for Arbequina than for Picual oil, which could be related to the lower content in polyunsaturated fatty acids of the latter olive cultivar. These findings may be relevant to the choice of cooking method and olive oil cultivar to increase the intake of olive polyphenols.  相似文献

Olive tree varieties that were cultivated only in the Mediterranean basin a few decades ago are now planted in the Southern Hemisphere as well. The chemical composition of the oils produced in countries as far distant as Spain and Chile are affected by differences in latitude and climate. In this work, seven monovarietal virgin olive oils from Chile (Arbequina, Barnea, Frantoio, Koroneiki, Leccino, Manzanilla and Picual) have been characterized by the chemical compounds responsible for taste (phenols) and aroma (volatiles). The oils were produced in five regions of Chile, and the concentration values of some chemical compounds were related to the geographical location of the olive tree orchards. Virgin olive oils from the major cultivars, Arbequina and Picual, were characterized in comparison with the same monovarietal oils produced in Spain. The concentration values of fourteen volatile compounds showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between the oils produced in Spain and Chile. Concerning the phenol composition, main differences were found on the secoiridoids derivatives of oleuropein and ligstroside, apigenin and luteolin.  相似文献

The degradation of secoiridoid, tocopherol, and antioxidant activity in extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) was studied during 8 months of storage in closed bottles in the dark, at 40 and 25 degrees C. Picual, Arbequina, Taggiasca, and Colombaia monovarietal EVOOs possessing quite different fatty acid and antioxidant contents were used. The secoiridoid aglycones, namely, the oleuropein and ligstroside derivatives, and alpha-tocopherol decreased following pseudo-first-order kinetics. In all EVOOs oleuropein derivatives were less stable than the corresponding ligstroside derivatives and alpha-tocopherol. Accordingly, overall antioxidant activity decreased following pseudo-first-order kinetics, with rate constants ranging from 0.85 x 10(-)(3) to 4.1 x 10(-)(3) days(-)(1) at 40 degrees C and from 0.8 x 10(-)(3) to 1.5 x 10(-)(3) days(-)(1) at 25 degrees C. According to both the antioxidant activity and the hydrolysis and oxidation indices established by EU regulation to assess EVOO quality, Colombaia oil was the least stable, followed by Taggiasca, Arbequina, and Picual oils. Despite antioxidant degradation, EVOOs with high antioxidant contents were still "excellent" after 240 days of storage at 40 degrees C. These data led to the conclusion that the beneficial properties of EVOOs due to antioxidant activity can be maintained throughout their commercial lives.  相似文献

Changes in chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments of five olive (Olea europaea L.) varieties destined for milling were investigated at six consecutive ripening stages. There was a manifest dependence between olive variety, moment of picking, and chloroplast pigment composition of the fruits. Although the content of chlorophylls and carotenoids differed with fruit variety, ripening always involved their gradual loss, which becames more pronounced with increased presence of anthocyanin compounds. The relative rates of disappearance of chlorophylls and carotenoids were markedly different between varieties, implying that the catabolism of these pigments takes place at a relative rate inherent to each variety. The varieties less rich in pigments showed the most extreme behavior. The highest relative rate of disappearance was observed in fruits of the Blanqueta variety, and the lowest was observed in those of Arbequina. The chlorophyll a/chlorophyll b ratio remained practically constant during ripening, with a value very similar for Hojiblanca, Picual, Cornicabra, and Blanqueta, but much higher for Arbequina, implying that the structure of the photosynthetic apparatus is different in the latter variety. In the five varieties studied, lutein was the slowest carotenoid to be degraded, so that its percentage in the fruits increased with ripening, whereas beta-carotene was the fastest to disappear. In ripe fruits covered with anthocyanins, chloroplast pigments were retained in both skin and pulp, with the rate of disappearance being much higher in the latter.  相似文献

The main change found in the phenolic composition of virgin olive oils of Arbequina, Hojiblanca, and Picual varieties during storage in darkness at 30 degrees C was the hydrolysis of the secoiridoid aglycons. This reaction gave rise to an increase in the free phenolics hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol in the oil. Filtration of oil and acidity influenced the hydrolysis to a large extent. Thus, the addition of commercial oleic acid to Hojiblanca and Picual oils increased the hydrolysis rate of the secoiridoid aglycons. In contrast, the concentration of lignans 1-acetoxypinoresinol and pinoresinol remained constant during storage. It must also be stressed that the total molar concentration of the phenolic compounds analyzed in the oils changed slightly (<20% reduction) after one year of storage, which is important from a nutritional point of view. However, the transformation of the secoiridoid aglycons into free phenolics may have consequences on oil taste and antioxidant capacity.  相似文献

Proteins of olive fruit mesocarp are not very well-known at present. However, they have been shown to pass, at least partially, to the olive oil during its elaboration and therefore might be contributing to some of the special characteristics of this vegetable oil. In this study, protein content and composition were determined in olive fruits, cv. Arbequina and Picual, at three stages of ripening: green, spotted, and purple. Mesocarp proteins constituted 1.3-1.8% of the dry weight of the olive fruit, and cultivar and fruit ripening did not produce important changes in mesocarp protein content or composition. In addition, this composition was also similar to the amino acid composition of a 4.6-kDa polypeptide, which is the major protein component of olive oils and of oil bodies of olive fruit mesocarp, suggesting that this polypeptide is likely to be a major component of mesocarp proteins. There was, also, a relationship between the oil content of the olive fruit and the protein content determined, suggesting a stabilizing function of these proteins in the oil bodies of the olive fruit, analogously to the role suggested for oleosins. This stabilizing function does not seem to be extended to olive oils because when the polypeptides isolated were added at 20 ppm to soybean oil, the stability of the oil increased only slightly, suggesting that if these compounds play some role in the stability of the oils, this should be mostly a consequence of the possible interactions among these protein components and other olive oil antioxidant constituents.  相似文献

Fruits of the Olea europaea Arbequina variety showed a carotenogenic stage overlapping the biosynthesis of anthocyanins. At the start of ripening, the carotenoid concentration increases (20%) or is maintained (besides the esterification of xanthophylls found in this variety), compared with a decrease (30%) found in the same period in the Picual variety (used as a control that was representative of the rest of the varieties). Both the beta,beta and beta,epsilon carotenoid series were found to be implicated in this carotenogenic process. Differences in both varieties for the chlorophyll a/b ratio, chlorophylls/carotenoids ratio, and relative carotenoid composition may indicate the existence of a different metabolism of chloroplast pigments, but also indicates a different structure and function of the photosynthetic apparatus. This fact shows that the photosynthetic behavior in the Picual variety is similar to that of shaded leaves, and in the Arbequina variety is similar to that of sun leaves.  相似文献

The aim of the present work was to establish the limiting factors affecting the biosynthesis of volatile esters present in virgin olive oil (VOO). Oil volatile fractions of the main Spanish olive cultivars, Arbequina and Picual, were analyzed. It was observed that acetate esters were the most abundant class of volatile esters in the oils, in concordance with the high content of acetyl-CoA found in olive fruit, and that the content of C6 alcohols is limited for the synthesis of volatile esters during the production of VOO. Thus, the increase of C6 alcohol availability during VOO production produced a significant increase of the corresponding ester in the oils in both cultivars at two different maturity stages. However, the increase of acetyl-CoA availability had no effect on the VOO volatile fraction. The low synthesis of these C6 alcohols seems not to be due to a shortage of precursors or cofactors for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity because their increase during VOO production had no effect on the C6 alcohol levels. The experimental findings are compatible with a deactivation of ADH activity during olive oil production in the cultivars under study. In this sense, a strong inhibition of olive ADH activity by compounds present in the different tissues of olive fruit has been observed.  相似文献

An array of metal oxide sensors has been set up for detecting the vinegary defect in virgin olive oil. The optimization process was carried out evaluating the variables affecting the process by three desirability functions. Repeatability studies for 6 months and within day were done to evaluate the sensor responses and remove those with high relative standard deviation. The sensor responses were preprocessed applying five weight functions previously to build a regression model. Samples of Spanish Arbequina and Picual virgin olive oil varieties spiked with different amounts of acetic acid (15-200 mg/L) were used as a training set for the regression model. The test set was composed of samples of Italian Coratina virgin olive oil spiked with the vinegary standard at five percentages (10, 25, 40, 50, and 75). A fine-adjusted regression coefficient (R(adj)(2) = 0.98) was computed with the test set.  相似文献

The effects of UV radiation on the chemical and sensory characteristics of virgin olive oils (cv. Arbequina and Picual) were assessed. Even small doses of UV radiation induced oxidation of the virgin olive oil samples. Total phenols and fatty acids contents decreased during the process as well as the intensity of the bitter and fruity sensory attributes, while the intensity of the rancid sensory attribute notably increased. Acetaldehyde, 2-butenal, 2-pentenal, octane, octanal, hexanal, nonanal, and 2-decenal were the volatile compounds most affected, showing an important increase during the irradiation process. Nonanal, hexanal, and pentanal showed high correlation with the rancid sensory attribute (90%, 86%, and 86%, respectively). 2-Decenal and nonanal concentrations allowed us to predict the alteration level of the samples by mean of multiple Ridge regression.  相似文献

The ferric complexing capacity of four phenolic compounds, occurring in olives and virgin olive oil, namely, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol-elenolic acid (3,4-DHPEA-EA), and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol-elenolic acid dialdehyde (3,4-DHPEA-EDA), and their stability in the presence of ferric ions were studied. At pH 3.5, all compounds formed a reversible 1:1 complex with ferric ions, but hydroxytyrosol could also form complexes containing >1 ferric ion per phenol molecule. At pH 5.5, the complexes between ferric ions and 3,4-DHPEA-EA or 3,4-DHPEA-EDA were relatively stable, indicating that the antioxidant activity of 3,4-DHPEA-EA or 3,4-DHPEA-EDA at pH 5.5 is partly due to their metal-chelating activity. At pH 7.4, a complex containing >1 ferric ion per phenol molecule was formed with hydroxytyrosol. Oleuropein, 3,4-DHPEA-EA, and 3,4-DHPEA-EDA also formed insoluble complexes at this pH. There was no evidence for chelation of Fe(II) by hydroxytyrosol or its derivatives. At all pH values tested, hydroxytyrosol was the most stable compound in the absence of Fe(III) but the most sensitive to the presence of Fe(III).  相似文献

The concentration of hydroxytyrosol (3,4-DHPEA) and its secoiridoid derivatives (3,4-DHPEA-EDA and 3,4-DHPEA-EA) in virgin olive oil decreased rapidly when the oil was repeatedly used for preparing french fries in deep-fat frying operations. At the end of the first frying process (10 min at 180 degrees C), the concentration of the dihydroxyphenol components was reduced to 50-60% of the original value, and after six frying operations only about 10% of the initial components remained. However, tyrosol (p-HPEA) and its derivatives (p-HPEA-EDA and p-HPEA-EA) in the oil were much more stable during 12 frying operations. The reduction in their original concentration was much smaller than that for hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives and showed a roughly linear relationship with the number of frying operations. The antioxidant activity of the phenolic extract measured using the DPPH test rapidly diminished during the first six frying processes, from a total antioxidant activity higher than 740 micromol of Trolox/kg down to less than 250 micromol/kg. On the other hand, the concentration of polar compounds, oxidized triacylglycerol monomers (oxTGs), dimeric TGs, and polymerized TGs rapidly increased from the sixth frying operation onward, when the antioxidant activity of the phenolic extract was very low, and as a consequence the oil was much more susceptible to oxidation. The loss of antioxidant activity in the phenolic fraction due to deep-fat frying was confirmed by the storage oil and oil-in-water emulsions containing added extracts from olive oil used for 12 frying operations.  相似文献

The effect of the use of cell-wall-degrading-enzyme preparations during the mechanical extraction process of virgin olive oil on the phenolic compounds and polysaccharides was investigated. The use of the enzyme preparations increased the concentration of phenolic compounds in the paste, oil, and byproducts. Especially, the contents of secoiridiod derivatives such as the dialdehydic form of elenolic acid linked to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol (3,4-DHPEA-EDA) and an isomer of oleuropein aglycon (3,4-DHPEA-EA), which have high antioxidant activities, increased significantly in the olive oil. Furthermore, the use of an N(2) flush during processing strongly increased the phenolic concentration. Analyses of the pectic polymers present in the paste showed that the use of pectinolytic enzyme preparations increased the yield of the buffer soluble pectins and the proportion of molecules with a lower molecular mass. Also, the content of uronic acids in the buffer soluble extract increased considerably due to the use of the enzyme preparations. Analysis of the polymeric carbohydrates in the vegetation waters showed the presence of mainly pectic polymers. The addition of commercial enzyme preparations increased the uronic acid content of the polysaccharides in the vegetation water substantially compared to the blank. This study showed that the addition of cell-wall-degrading enzymes did improve the olive oil quality; however, mechanisms remained unclear.  相似文献

The HPLC phenolic profile of virgin olive oils obtained from young olive trees (Arbequina cv.) grown under different deficit irrigation strategies was studied. Deficit irrigation (RDI) did not affect all the phenolic compounds in the same way. Lignans, vanillic acid, vanillin, and the unknown phenolic compound named P24 increased in the oils from the most irrigated treatments. The secoiridoid derivatives and the unknown phenolic compound named P19 increased in the oils from the most stressed irrigation treatments. The period of growth where a water stress significantly affects the phenolic profile of oils was between pit hardening and the first stages of fruit growth and oil accumulation, independently of the water applied during the previous period to harvest. The phenolic profile and those parameters related to phenol content, oxidative stability, and the bitter index were significantly affected only in the most severe RDI strategies. Other strategies produced important savings in irrigation requirements and an increase in the water use efficiency without noticeably affecting the phenolic profile.  相似文献

The total content of phenolic compounds (TAP) in 29 different monocultivar olive oil samples from France (Aglandau and Tanche) and Spain (Cornicabra, Picual, and Verdial) was assessed by the colorimetric Folin-Ciocalteu method. Also, individual phenolic compounds were determined and quantified by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The French olive oil samples had a lower TAP compared to Spanish samples. The quantity of individual phenolics was similar except for pinoresinol, which was lower in the French olive oil samples. TAP moderately correlated to the sum of quantified compounds (r = 0.64 and p < 0.01) Partial least-squares (PLS) regression analysis emphasized the importance of hydroxytyrosol and the total amount of quantified phenolic compounds by LC-MS in the prediction of the total amount of phenolic compounds as determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The amount of alpha-tocopherol was generally different among the cultivars (Tanche > Picual > Verdial > Aglandau > Cornicabra). Of all quantified phenolic compounds in French olive oil samples, only luteolin correlated well to the altitude of the olive orchards (r = 0.76, p < 0.01).  相似文献

This study reports the HPLC profiles of phenolic compounds of virgin olive oils obtained from young olive trees (Olea europaea L. cv. Arbequina) and how the application of a linear irrigation strategy affected these. Hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, vanillic acid, vanillin, 4-(acetoxyethyl)-1,2-dihydroxybenzene, p-coumaric acid, the dialdehydic form of elenolic acid linked to hydroxytyrosol and to tyrosol, lignans, and the oleuropein aglycon were found in all the oils. Hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, vanillic acid, and p-coumaric acid contents in the oils were unaffected by linear irrigation. The concentration of lignans was lower in the oils from the least irrigated treatment and the concentration of vanillin increased as the amount of irrigation water applied to olive trees increased. However, 4-(acetoxyethyl)-1,2-dihydroxybenzene, the dialdehydic form of elenolic acid linked to hydroxytyrosol and to tyrosol, and the oleuropein aglycon, all of them hydroxyphenyl derivatives, decreased as the level of irrigation water increased. The latter three compounds represented the most considerable part of the phenolic fraction of the oils and they were shown to be correlated to the oxidative stability, the bitter index (K(225)), and the bitter, pungent, and sweet sensory attributes. Linear irrigation strategy changed the profile of the oil phenolic compounds and, therefore, changed both the organoleptic properties and the antioxidant capacity of the product.  相似文献

Phenolic compounds present in crude oil extracts from acai fruit ( Euterpe oleracea) were identified for the first time. The stability of acai oil that contained three concentrations of phenolics was evaluated under short- and long-term storage for lipid oxidation and phenolic retention impacting antioxidant capacity. Similar to acai fruit itself, acai oil isolates contained phenolic acids such as vanillic acid (1,616 +/- 94 mg/kg), syringic acid (1,073 +/- 62 mg/kg), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (892 +/- 52 mg/kg), protocatechuic acid (630 +/- 36 mg/kg), and ferulic acid (101 +/- 5.9 mg/kg) at highly enriched concentrations in relation to acai pulp as well as (+)-catechin (66.7 +/- 4.8 mg/kg) and numerous procyanidin oligomers (3,102 +/- 130 mg/kg). Phenolic acids experienced up to 16% loss after 10 weeks of storage at 20 or 30 degrees C and up to 33% loss at 40 degrees C. Procyanidin oligomers degraded more extensively (23% at 20 degrees C, 39% at 30 degrees C, and 74% at 40 degrees C), in both high- and low-phenolic acai oils. The hydrophilic antioxidant capacity of acai oil isolates with the highest phenolic concentration was 21.5 +/- 1.7 micromol Trolox equivalents/g, and the total soluble phenolic content was 1252 +/- 11 mg gallic acid equivalents/kg, and each decreased by up to 30 and 40%, respectively, during long-term storage. The short-term heating stability at 150 and 170 degrees C for up to 20 min exhibited only minor losses (<10%) in phenolics and antioxidant capacity. Because of its high phenolic content, the phytochemical-enriched acai oil from acai fruit offers a promising alternative to traditional tropical oils for food, supplements, and cosmetic applications.  相似文献
