Effect of region of cultivation, tree age, and harvest time on the quality of Lebanese virgin olive oil

Abstract: In Lebanon, olive oil plays an essential role at both economic and social levels. However, factors influencing its quality are rarely addressed. This preliminary study is the first analysis to show a comparison between ancient and adult virgin olive oil trees in Lebanon. Analysis of pedo-climatic conditions and physicochemical parameters of virgin oil samples taken from ancient and adult trees from three Lebanese regions (Bechmizine, Kfaraaka, and Kawkaba) and at two different harvest periods showed that these… Show more

“…These molecules safeguard cell membranes, facilitate lipid restoration and substitution, and exhibit utility in preventing cancer and cardiovascular ailments [140][141][142][143][144]. Tocopherols have been identified as having a significant function in plant metabolism, specifically in transporting sugar from leaves to phloem [145][146][147].…”

“…Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the main ingredients of the Mediterranean diet and its beneficial effects on the human health are well recognised [28]. Olive oil quality is influenced by many pre-and postharvest factors [29], such as cultivar and harvest time [29][30][31][32][33][34][35]; harvest year [35,36]; climate change [36]; geographical area of production and age of trees [37]; extraction method [38,39]; storage conditions [40].…”
