Sažetak
The nutritional quality and sensory properties of virgin olive oils (VOO) are strongly influenced by a complex endogenous enzyme system. The activity of these enzymes can be influenced by the process conditions during oil production. The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of flash thermal treatment (FTT) on lipoxygenase activity and on the formation of volatile compounds. Olive fruits from Istarska bjelica and Levantinka were used for this experiment. FTT was performed as a pretreatment to malaxation by rapid cooling or heating from 15 to 40 °C. Lipoxygenase was isolated from the olive paste after malaxation, and its activity was determined by measuring the concentration of hydroperoxides formed by the HPLC method. The volatile compounds of VOOs were analyzed by SPME - GC/MS. The results show that lipoxygenase activity is cultivar dependent, with Levantinka having significantly higher activity. Consequently, Levantinka VOOs have significantly higher concentrations of lipoxygenase pathway volatile compounds. FTT had no significant effect on lipoxygenase activity, although the trend of decreasing activity with increasing temperature was observed. However, volatile compounds of the produced oils were temperature dependent, and their concentration increases from 15 °C to 20 °C for Levantinka and to 25 °C for Istarska bjelica. Thereafter, it gradually decreases with increasing temperature. The concentration of secondary oxidation products was also determined to determine the influence of the temperature on the oxidation processes. Neither the cultivar nor the FTT had any effect on the oxidation products.
