The aim of the research is to report the results of an experiment for the development of a new model of modular crusher for olive oil quality improving. The crushing system is crucial in the virgin olive oil (VOO) mechanical extraction process. The use of different crusher machines can highly influence the quality of the final product, mainly due to the phenolic and volatile content responsible for VOO sensory and health properties. The geometrical characteristics in the developed crusher and the effect of the impact of the crusher tools on the pit particle size and on the distribution of energy and temperature will be shown. The different impact energies will lead to a different thermal profile of the olive pastes with consequences on the quality of the extracted oil. The results of the experimentation will be reported as extraction yield and olive oil quality (legal parameters, phenolic and volatile content).

Abstract
The aim of the research is to report the results of an experiment for the development of a new model of modular crusher for olive oil quality improving. The crushing system is crucial in the virgin olive oil (VOO) mechanical extraction process. The use of different crusher machines can highly influence the quality of the final product, mainly due to the phenolic and volatile content responsible for VOO sensory and health properties. The geometrical characteristics in the developed crusher and the effect of the impact of the crusher tools on the pit particle size and on the distribution of energy and temperature will be shown. The different impact energies will lead to a different thermal profile of the olive pastes with consequences on the quality of the extracted oil. The results of the experimentation will be reported as extraction yield and olive oil quality (legal parameters, phenolic and volatile content).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
