Abstract


The effects of high-power ultrasound on olive paste, in a laboratory thermomixing operation for virgin olive oil extraction, have been studied. Indirect sonication in a thermomixer with an ultrasound cleaning bath, at 25 kHz, has been applied.

A quick heating of olive paste, to optimal temperature conditions and an extractability improvement of the extraction process were found with the sonication of olive paste.

The effects of high-power ultrasound on some components of the oil obtained were studied. Free acidity, peroxide value, K270, K232, and bitterness (K225) were determined immediately and 4 months later.
