An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the quality of virgin olive oils obtained when a de-stoner were used for the olive paste preparation in comparison to the use of a traditional stone mill. In order to improve the slightly differences of oil yields due to the use of the de-stoner also a heat exchanger has been introduced in the processing line. The experimental data showed that resistance to the oxidation, total phenols and pleasant volatile compounds were higher in the de-stoned olive oils than in the oils obtained from the whole paste. Resistance to oxidation was assessed by Rancimat method and showed a positive correlation with the amount of total phenols. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract
An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the quality of virgin olive oils obtained when a de-stoner were used for the olive paste preparation in comparison to the use of a traditional stone mill. In order to improve the slightly differences of oil yields due to the use of the de-stoner also a heat exchanger has been introduced in the processing line. The experimental data showed that resistance to the oxidation, total phenols and pleasant volatile compounds were higher in the de-stoned olive oils than in the oils obtained from the whole paste. Resistance to oxidation was assessed by Rancimat method and showed a positive correlation with the amount of total phenols. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
