Abstract(s)
Olive oil is appreciated by consumers due to sensory and health properties [1]. Indeed, it is well known that virgin olive oil (VOO) is a potential antioxidant [2] showing anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, anticancer, antidiabetic and neuroprotective effects [2]. Specifically, an important expansion of the nutraceutical market has been observed with olive products due to the health benefits associated with their polyphenols [3]. The increasing levels of competition of the worldwide olive oil market and the need of satisfying the consumers incessant search for healthy foods, led to the appearance of differentiated high-value olive oils. The possibility of producing enriched olive oils with related health claims [4], either by optimizing production key variables or by using flavoring techniques is a challenge and an opportunity to segment the broad trade category of olive oils. The present work aims evaluate the feasibility of producing enriched “ready-to-sell” olive oils with enhanced flavor and high contents of bioactive natural compounds. Furthermore, profiting from the fast progress in material sciences, software innovations and electronic systems integration, novel electrochemical taste sensors (electronic tongue and nose) will be designed as in-situ cost effective alternative devices to standard analytical techniques. The expected outputs may contribute to the sustained economic growth of the olive oil national industry.
