  • Title: Dependence of fatty-acid composition of edible oils on their enrichment in olive phenols.
    Author: Girón MV, Ruiz-Jiménez J, Luque de Castro MD.
    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2009 Apr 08; 57(7):2797-802. PubMed ID: 19253972.
    Abstract:
    Olive phenol extracts from waste from olive-oil production (alperujo) have been obtained by microwave-assisted extraction and used for edible oil enrichment. The extracts as such or after extractant removal were used to enrich edible oils of different fatty acid composition by liquid-liquid or solid-liquid extraction, respectively. The distribution ratios of the phenols in the different oils [olive-orujo (the waste of milled olives from which low-quality oil is obtained), sunflower, high oleic-acid content sunflower, coconut, and linseed] showed a given order as a function of phenol polarity and molecular weight, with higher distribution factors for more polar and lower molecular-weight phenols. Concerning oil composition, those oils with higher concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids yielded higher phenol distribution factors; oils with higher concentrations of saturated fatty acids yielded lower distribution factors.
