Milling is an aspect of olive oil production that has received very little attention, and there have been very few studies of the relationship between crusher speed and oil quality. This work compares the effect of three blade cutter crusher speeds used in an industrial plant on the main olive oil chemical and sensory parameters, at two points in time: immediately post‐production, and after eight month of storage. The ANOVA results showed that faster crushing significantly increases chlorophyll and total biophenol content. Secoiridoids are particularly affected and concentrations of 3,4‐DHPEA‐EDA and p‐DHPEA‐EDA significantly varied in oils milled at different speeds. From the lowest to the highest speed a difference of roughly 50 mg/kg (on about 400 mg/kg) for total biophenols, and about 40 mg/kg of 3,4‐DHPEA‐EDA is found. Panel testing found higher bitterness and astringency scores in oils produced at the higher speed. These findings suggest that crushing speed can be used to characterize olive oils. Practical applications: Crushing speed is easy to change in olive mills, and could be used to control the sensory and nutraceutical profile of extra virgin olive oil through its effect on bitterness, astringency, and phenolic content parameters. Hence, it is very useful to have a better understanding of the relationship between crushing speed and olive oil characteristics. Crushing speed can be used to characterize olive oils. Faster crushing significantly increases chlorophyll, total biophenol, 3,4‐DHPEA‐EDA, and p‐DHPEA‐EDA. Panel testing found higher bitterness and astringency scores in oils produced at the higher speed.

The changes in the fatty acid composition of eleven edible oils (soybean, rapeseed, natural and refined sesame, corn, safflower, olive, rice bran, natural and refined perilla, coconut) are investigated during deep frying. French fries are intermittently fried for 5 h each day for 6 consecutive days at 180 °C in these oils. The results suggested that all of the oils contained large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids (83.49–95.28%) before deep frying, except for coconut oil (7.13%). With the extension of frying time, the content of unsaturated fatty acids in the oils decreased linearly (Y = −AT + 100, R2 = 0.955–0.990) except in the coconut oil. The equation (A = 0.113X + 0.203, R = 0.836) can be used to determine the decomposition rate of unsaturated fatty acids (A) in a variety of unsaturated fatty acid‐based oils. The ratio of palmitic acid to oleic acid in the oils before deep frying (X) has an important impact on the degradation of a variety of unsaturated fatty acid‐based oils, and can be used as an evaluation index for predicting the degradation rate of such oils before deep frying. Practical Applications: Changes to the unsaturated fatty acid content of a variety of unsaturated fatty acid‐based oils during deep frying can be predicted using this novel evaluation index. A clear understanding of the deterioration process of frying oils can be obtained when the index is combined with other indicators of deterioration. The index can facilitate timely judgments to prevent the over‐use of frying oils according to the waste oil standards of individual countries. This would maximize the utilization of oil while reducing the production of substances that are harmful to the human body. With the extension of frying time, the content of unsaturated fatty acids in the oils decreased linearly (Y = −AT + 100). The equation (A = 0.113X + 0.203) can be use to determine the decomposition rate of unsaturated fatty acids in a variety of unsaturated fatty acid‐based oils. X is the ratio of palmitic acid to oleic acid in the oils before deep frying, and can be use as an evaluation index for predicting the degradation rate of a variety of unsaturated fatty acid‐based oils before deep frying.
Squalene (SQ) is an intermediate hydrocarbon in the biosynthesis of phytosterols and terpenes in plants.It is widely used for applications such as skin moisturizers, vaccines, or in carriers for active lipophilic molecules. It has commonly been obtained from sharks, but restrictions on their use have created a need to find alternative sources. We present a review of studies concerning SQ in olive groves to characterize its content and to provide new aspects that may increase the circular economy of the olive tree. There is a large variation in SQ content in virgin olive oil due to cultivars and agronomic issues such as region, climate, types of soil, crop practices, and harvest date. Cultivars with the highest SQ content in their virgin olive oil were 'Nocellara de Belice', 'Drobnica', 'Souri', and 'Oblica'. An interaction between cultivar and aspects such as irrigation practices or agricultural season is frequently observed. Likewise, the production of high SQ content needs precise control of fruit maturation. Leaves represent an interesting source, if its extraction and yield compensate for the expenses of their disposal. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction from olive oil deodorizer distillates offers an opportunity to obtain high-purity SQ from this derivative. Exploiting SQ obtained from olive groves for the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industries poses new challenges and opportunities to add value and recycle by-products.
