The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys Stål, is an invasive species and a polyphagous pest. BMSB feeding activity was suspected to be responsible for olive damage. To evaluate the effect of damage from adults nymphs BMSB, 30 rearing sleeves were positioned in grove, at early stage drupe development. individuals kept 48 h, number olives each sleeve checked weekly, visually asse...

fats and oils are made of triglycerides. the fatty acids are the main constituents of triglycerides. there are minor components present in the oils and fats that are of great importance in human health, namely tocopherols and phenolic compounds that exhibit antioxidant activities. the concentrations of these compounds vary during ripening and maturation of olives. the object of the present stud...

The application of nutrient solutions to the foliage plants is an alternative means fertilise crops. Foliar fertilisation used overcome disadvantages soil applications. Variable plant responses these foliar spray have often been described in literature. However, knowledge about penetration mechanisms, role a leaf-applied inorganic or organic solution, and results obtained by its still limited. ...

Thermal treatment of pasteurisation is the most widely used stabilisation method for packed green table olives. In present work, influence on composition volatile compounds in Spanish-style olives was studied. To this aim, two thermal processes (P1 = 85 °C 7 min; P2 15 min) were evaluated by comparing contents pasteurised with those unpasteurised Volatiles analysed, both olive juice and cover b...

An investigation to optimize the extraction yield and the radical scavenging activity from the agricultural by-product olive tree wood (Olea europaea L., cultivar Picual) using six different extraction protocols was carried out. Four olive wood samples from different geographical origin, and harvesting time have been used for comparison purposes. Among the fifty olive wood extracts obtained in ...
