The hydrolytic and oxidative degradation of olive oil and extra-virgin olive oil, used as covering liquids in canned dried tomatoes, was studied during storage by means of conventional (acidity, peroxide value, p-anisidine value) and non conventional (polar compounds) analyses. The effects of the addition of spices were also considered. The hydrolysis and oxidation of olive oil increased faster and was higher than that of extravirgin olive oil in terms of absolute values but some other indices, such as percentage of oligopolymers and percentage of oxidized triglycerides, increased faster in extra-virgin olive oil than in olive oil. The antioxidant effect given by a higher concentration of polyphenols in the extra-virgin olive oil was shown by a reduced amount of secondary oxidation. However, olive oil and extra-virgin olive oils showed similar behaviour in terms of peroxide formation.

Abstract
The hydrolytic and oxidative degradation of olive oil and extra-virgin olive oil, used as covering liquids in canned dried tomatoes, was studied during storage by means of conventional (acidity, peroxide value, p-anisidine value) and non conventional (polar compounds) analyses. The effects of the addition of spices were also considered. The hydrolysis and oxidation of olive oil increased faster and was higher than that of extravirgin olive oil in terms of absolute values but some other indices, such as percentage of oligopolymers and percentage of oxidized triglycerides, increased faster in extra-virgin olive oil than in olive oil. The antioxidant effect given by a higher concentration of polyphenols in the extra-virgin olive oil was shown by a reduced amount of secondary oxidation. However, olive oil and extra-virgin olive oils showed similar behaviour in terms of peroxide formation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
