The microbial ecology of the table olive fermentation process is a complex set of dynamics in which the roles of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast populations are closely related, and this synergism is of fundamental importance to obtain high quality products. Several studies on the ecology of table olives, both in spontaneous fermentations and in inoculated ones, have focused on the ide...

Table olives are increasingly recognized as a vehicle as well as a source of probiotic bacteria, especially those fermented with traditional procedures based on the activity of indigenous microbial consortia, originating from local environments. In the present study, we report characterization at the species level of 49 Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) strains deriving from Nocellara del Belice table...

We report here a 3,698,214-bp complete genome sequence of a potential probiotic Lactobacillus pentosus strain, MP-10, isolated from brines of naturally fermented Aloreña green table olives; it is considered the largest sequenced genome among lactobacilli to date. The annotated genome sequence revealed the presence of 3,558 open reading frames (ORFs) and 87 structural RNAs.

This research evaluates the anaerobic digestion (AD) process of residue generated in a new olive-oil manufacturing for cold-pressed olive, consisting mixture wastewater and solid waste obtained from this process. Additionally, order to assess possible influence level ripening olives on performance processing, Picual variety were collected at two stages, i.e., green veraison. The AD processes re...

Specialization and intensification in agriculture have increased productivity but also led to the spread of monocultural systems, simplifying production reducing genetic diversity. The purpose this study was propose crop diversification as a tool increase biodiversity achieve sustainable resilient intensive agriculture, particularly areas with water scarcity. In paper, combined life cycle asses...

Epidemiological and clinical studies have established the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, an important component of which are olives and olive oil derived from the olive tree (Olea Europea). It is now well-established that not only the major fatty acid constituents, but also the minor phenolic components, in olives and olive oil have important health benefits. Emerging research over ...
