Characterization of Phenolic and Volatile Compounds of Sicilian Virgin Olive Oils Produced from Native Cultivars

Compositions and Sensory Characterization of Olive Oils from CentralWestern Sicily
In Sicily, olive has been cultivated since ancient times and its germplasm is characterized by a wide genetic diversity that could be related to its domestication and spread in ancient times, and to some reproductive biological peculiarities as self-incompatibility. In this research, EVOO of Sicilian heritage such as Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla, Biancolilla centinara and Passulunara, was been investigated. The assessment regards main chemical-physical parameters and sensory profles, based on the olfactory and gustatory characteristics. Samples were obtained from Bona Furtuna farm (Corleone, C-W Sicily), equipped with a continuous two and half phases cold extraction system. Results sho…
Effects of the foal at the milking and dietary supplementation with extra virgin olive oil on jennet milk production
2009
The effects of the foal at the milking and the extra virgin olive oil supplementation in the diet, on the milk obtained by 12 Ragusana jennets were studied. The jennets were each fed 3.5+1.5 kg/d of concentrate+bran, and hay ad libitum. They were divided into 2 equal groups with one group receiving an additional dietary supplement of 100 ml/d of olive oil. Milk was collected at day 20 post foal- ing and every 15-18 d for 5 times. At each collection period jennets were milked 4-times per day. At 07:30 h foals were separated from the jennets and after a 4 hour interval were milked manually (1MNF;1st milking, foal absent). At the end of the 1MNF, each jennet was milked again, with the foals ke…

Study of green Sicilian table olive fermentations through microbiological, chemical and sensory analyses.
2010
The production of five different green table olive cultivars was studied by a combined strategy consisting of chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses. Cultivable microflora of samples collected during processing was monitored by plate counts on seven synthetic culture media. In all samples Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonaceae, staphylococci, lactic acid bacteria and spore-forming bacteria were undetectable. Yeasts and moulds were countable from the day 42 (2 log CFU/ml) till the end of fermentation (6 log CFU/ml). The use of three different approaches for microorganism detection, including a culture-independent methodology, revealed the presence of barely three yeast species during the…
New tailor-made bio-organoclays for the remediation of olive mill waste water
2013
A systematic study aimed at obtaining new organoclays for the treatment of Olive Mill Waste water (OMW) has been performed. Several organoclays have been prepared by loading different amounts of the biocompatible surfactant Tween20 onto the K10 montmorillonite (MMT). Complementary kinetic and equilibrium studies on the adsorption of the Tween20 onto the MMT have been carried out and the characterization of the new tailor-made bio-materials has been performed by means of the XRD and FT-IR measurements. Finally the prepared bio-organoclays have been successfully applied for the OMW remediation and they proved to be highly effective in decreasing the organic content (OC) to an extent that depe…
Uso del nocciolino di oliva come materiale di riempimento di biotrincee per la denitrificazione biologica in situ di acque di falda
2016
Tra le varie possibilità di intervento per la rimozione dei nitrati dalle acque di falda, notevole interesse suscita il trattamento in situ dei plume contaminati mediante la realizzazione di biotrincee denitrificanti scavate in situ e naturalmente attraversate dalle acque di falda. Tra i materiali di origine organica che sono stati testati per tali applicazioni, il nocciolino di olive è risultato uno dei più idonei alle potenziali applicazioni di pieno campo. Tale tipo di materiale possiede un elevato contenuto di carbonio organico totale, prossimo al 50%, e una percentuale di lignina prossima al 45% in peso. Il lavoro proposto riporta i risultati di una campagna sperimentale eseguita media…
Giovanni Pintori. 乔凡尼·皮托瑞 / Giovanni Pintori. Dots, Lines, Surfaces
2010
这是一张Ugo Mulas摄于Bocca di Magra充满 渴望的照片：照片上的Giovanni Pintori侧着身， 逆光打在他的小船上，显现出迷人的几何图案， 驶向充满雾气的公海的小船，主船桅像未出鞘的 剑，帆被风吹得肿肿地鼓了起来。他是一个瘦小 的男人，然而大海非常广阔，显得很不相称，不 过他一点也不畏惧。他与生俱来的勇气使他有魄 力提着行李箱离开撒丁岛，所有的都是从一位岛 上居民那儿听来的，就像要剪断母亲的脐带一样 令人痛苦和不可阻挡。当他离开的时候，他还是 个年轻的孩子，但他凭借一贯的自信成功地走上 了职业设计师的道路，并从不放弃任何一个偶然 得来的机会。 There is a longing photo taken by Ugo Mulas at Bocca di Magra on which Giovanni Pintori, photographed in profile and against the light on his small boat showing a charming geometric décor, moves towards the open sea in the foggy background, with the mainmast which is unsheathed like a sword and without a sail to be swollen by the wind. He is a little and small-boned person, whereas the sea is wide and inco…
L’Istoria di Sant'Ursula di Antoni di Oliveri. Sul contesto e il testimone di un'agiografia in volgare siciliano del XV secolo
2018
The Istoria di sant’Ursula by Antoni d’Oliveri from Catania is among the texts published by Giuseppe Cusimano in the two inaugural volumes of the «Collezione di testi siciliani dei secoli XIV e XV». This hagiographic work is a Sicilian ottava-rima cantare dated to 1471 and is preserved in the late fifteenth-century manuscript Palermo, Biblioteca Comunale, 2 Qq B 91. This article examines the Istoria within the context of fifteen-century Sicilian literature. In particular, it shows how the attention to Saint Ursula, one of the most popular Breton saints, and her legend is not fortuitous from the point of view of both the history of piety and the mentality of medieval Sicily. This argument is…
