Bitterness, natural antioxidants and quality indices of virgin olive oil from different growing areas

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to study different in the bitterness (K225), natural antioxidant (total polyphenol, orthodiphenol, ?- tocopherol, chlorophenoll and carotenoid ) andquality indices (free fatty acids, peroxide value, spectrophotometric K232 and K270, organoleptic testes, color, oxidative stability) of virgin olive oil from Kornona;ii verity cultivated in different olive growing areas in Egyptnamely Giza, El-Sharkia, and El-Arish were determined. Phenolic compounds were analyzed by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography).
Results showed that significant different between olive oil samples extracted from Koronakii variety cultivated in the three different growing areas. Virgin olive oil extracted from El-Arish region showed higher concentration of natural antioxidants.
