Use of Ultrasound and Pef Technologies Applied to the Olive Oil Extraction Process

Use of Ultrasound and Pef Technologies Applied to the Olive Oil Extraction Process

In this work, ultrasound (US) and pulsed electric fields (PEF) were tested in an industrial olive oil mill. Olives of the cultivar Coratina were processed in a comparative mode, between a traditional process and an innovative process (involving US and PEF). The use of US in addition to the tradition...

Olives of the cultivar Coratina were processed in a comparative mode, between a traditional process and an innovative process (involving US and PEF). The use of US in addition to the traditional malaxation process led to a significant improvement in extraction yield. PEF also showed a positive effect on extraction yield.
