Influence of Harvest Date and Crop Yield on the Fatty Acid Composition of Virgin Olive Oils from Cv. Picual

Abstract: In this study was analyzed the effect of crop year and harvesting time on the fatty acid composition of cv. Picual virgin olive oil. The study was carried out during the fruit ripening period for three crop seasons. The mean fatty acid composition of Picual oils was determined. The oils contained palmitic acid (11.9%), oleic acid (79.3%), and linoleic acid (2.95%). The content of palmitic acid and saturated fatty acids decreased during fruit ripening while oleic and linoleic acids increased. The amount of stea… Show more

“…Oleic acid (C18:1) content of the olive oil samples was observed in the range of 70.97-75.16%. An increase in oleic acid during olive fruit maturation was reported in another study (Beltran, Del Rio, Sanchez, & Martinez, 2004). Such trend was also observed in Memecik oils, as the oleic acid content in the early harvest was found lower than the mid and late harvest oils.…”

“…The sample coded as J also shows the highest value of MUFA/PUFA ratio of 16.97 and 18.33 determined in oils produced respectively during the 2005 and 2006 crop seasons; moreover, this oil in a previous study exhibited the highest level of total phenols and o-diphenols content (Rotondi et al, 2006). Considering the Regulation (UE) n. 702/2007 which requires oleic acid ranges between 55% and 83% for extra virgin olive oils, a level above 75% determined in all oil samples analysed in this study, confirms their high nutritional value, as diets rich in monounsaturated and low in saturated fatty acids are known to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) without altering the beneficial high-density lipoprotein levels (cholesterol) (Beltràn, Del Rio, Sànchez, & Martìnez, 2004).…”

“…An earlier seeding date appeared to cause an increase in stearic acid (saturated) concentration. Temperature may be responsible for this difference in fatty acid composition; it has been shown in several species that temperature can alter the fatty acid synthesis and composition (Beltran et al 2004;Silver et al 1984). In a study with 19 camelina accessions at three locations in western Canada, Gugel and Falk (2006) reported greater ranges for fatty acid concentration among accessions than among locations.…”
