Olive (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. europaea) is one of the oldest fruit tree in the Mediterranean basin, and is cultivated for oil and canned fruit. Part of this interest is driven by the economic importance of olive oil which is increasing throughout the world due to its beneficial effect to human health. In Tunisia, olive has great socio-economic importance, with more than 60 millio...

The olive tree is a member of the Oleaceae family, which contains the genera Fraxinus, Forsythia, Forestiera, Ligustrum and Syringa, as well as the genus Olea. Commercial olives are products of the Olea europaea L. species. There are roughly 20 species of Olea found throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world, but only O. europaea L. produces edible fruit. The fruit of olive trees ...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of canning, different filling media (olive oil, corn sunflower oil and high oleic oil) storage on amino acid profile protein quality in swordfish. Glutamic acid, aspartic leucine are predominant acids raw swordfish, representing 35.62 % total acids. Thawing-salting caused significant losses methionine, glycine tyrosine. Frying moisture loss, resu...

The main concern of an olive grower is primarily to achieve more income and profits. A harvesting method having higher efficiency and better fruit and oil quality, but a higher operation cost leads to a lower benefit. A study was carried out to evaluate the techno-economic performances of Trunk Shaker (TS) and Mechanical Harvest Aid (MHA) shaker for harvesting the yellow and Manzanilla olive cu...

Coliform bacteria have long been associated with a "gassy" deterioration of olives. This deterioration may be characterized by the formation of blisters, resulting from accumulation of gases which separate the skin from the flesh of the olives or by the formation of fissures directly under the skin which may extend to the pit of the fruit as shown in Plate 1. The decomposition is not confined t...

in order to evaluate the effect of harvest time on fruit weight, oil content and fruit bearing in the next year in some cultivars of olive (conservalea, amygdalolia, karidolia, koroneiki, arbequina, zard and rouwghani), an experiment was performed as a split plot in time based on crd (completely randomized design) with three replications at olive research station (tarrom–zanjan) during 2013 and...

Background: The heavy metal pollutions were accumulated in aquatic animals such as fish. Whereas consumption of canned fish is increased in many countries, contaminated fish meat would make a hazard to food security and public health. In this study, the levels ofiron and chromium were measured in canned fish products in in Khuzestan, Iran, in 2015. Methods: Forty-six of canned fish composite s...

A total of 154 food composite samples from the 2008 total diet study in Quebec City were analysed for bisphenol A (BPA), and BPA was detected in less than half (36%, or 55 samples) of the samples tested. High concentrations of BPA were found mostly in the composite samples containing canned foods, with the highest BPA level being observed in canned fish (106 ng g(-1)), followed by canned corn (...
