“…The formation of VOCs starts on olive fruits and during OO extraction, olives pass through a series of processing steps that activate various biochemical pathways that lead to the formation of volatiles, and each extraction step influences the final profile (Malheiro, Casal, Rodrigues, Renard, & Pereira, 2018). For instance, the volatiles abundance could be influenced by cultivar, ripening stage, pedological, and climatic conditions beyond storage and processing of OOs (Cerretani, Bendini, Rotondi, Lercker, & Toschi, 2005; Luna, Morales, & Aparicio, 2006; Mansouri et al., 2017; Rached et al., 2017). Some VOCs, on the other hand, are formed by chemical oxidation of the OOs, which are mainly responsible for the undesirable negative attributes, the off‐flavors (Kiritsakis, 1998; Morales, Rios, & Aparicio, 1997).…”
