  • Determinants factors of quality indices, antioxidant capacity, phonolic content, and oxidatives stability of Lebanese olive 
    Maalouf, Jessica Gaby (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2018-12)
    Background -- Olive oil (OO) has been widely known as a main source of lipid in the Mediterranean diet. Over the years, the interest in virgin olive oil (VOO) consumption boosted due to its sensory properties characterized by its unique taste, flavor and color; and its health properties exerted by its monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), tocopherols, and phenolic compounds. Phenols are minor compounds with antioxidant capacities that contribute positively to OO shelf life and stability to oxidation. Literature data have shown that several agro-industrial factors including harvesting time, ...
