“…It has been reported that most olive oil-producing countries (such as Spain and Italy) have utilized processing aids (co-adjuvant agents and techniques) to improve oil extraction efficiency (up to 10 to 30%) and to reduce the loss in oil in pomace (García et al, 2005;Cruz et al, 2007;Canamasas and Ravetti, 2011). Although talc and micronized talc powder (Fernández-Valdivia et al, 2008), specific enzymes (Sharma and Sharma, 2007;Najafian et al, 2009), common salt (NaCl, KCl), calcium carbonate (Espínola et al, 2009) and hot water dipping (García et al, 2005;Al-Rousan, 2017), as processing aids and techniques, have been commonly applied in the olive oil industry, nowadays, in Europe, only the use of hydrate magnesium silicate (natural talc) and kaolinitic clays are permitted (Vidal et al, 2018). Generally, these aids have improved oil extractability from the olive paste by breaking down the oil-water emulsion (Sadkaoui et al, 2016).…”
