Contribution of irrigation and cultivars to volatile profile and sensory attributes of selected virgin olive oils produced in Tunisia

Abstract: Nowadays, a significant increase in intensively and irrigated managed olive orchards has occurred in Tunisia in the hope to increase the olive production. Aromatic profile with sensory analysis were considered in virgin olive oils from Arbequina, Coratina and Koroneiki cultivars grown intensively under three irrigation treatments (T1, T2 and T3 equivalent to 50%, 75% and 100% ETc.). Results showed that the aromatic quality depends first on the irrigation level applied and second on the cultivar. From sensory a… Show more

“…Differences in tree water status may also contribute to explain some of the changes in VOCs measured in oils of different geographical origin because soil water availability varies depending on climate and soil characteristics. Since the concentration of olive oil VOCs of three cultivars responded differently to the level of water supplied, we cannot rule out that the exclusive presence of some VOCs under conditions of water deficit is cultivar dependent too.…”

“…These compounds have been reported previously in some studies of cv. Arbequina olive oils . In earlier studies, oils from this cultivar were associated with ripe fruit aroma, slight oily odor, and sweet taste, but according to García‐González et al, the market tendency for a high demand of greener and bitterer oils has favored the production of monocultivar Arbequina oils from low‐ripened olives.…”

“…Our results are in concordance with those of previous studies showing a high content of C6 compounds in cv. Arbequina olive oils from the Mediterranean basin . According to Pérez et al, the content of C6 is on average 2–160 times higher than that of the rest of the groups of volatile compounds in the oils.…”
