unripe olive juice
Another reason for the instability of an oil made from unripe olives could
be the presence of degradative enzymes such as lipoxygenases and polyphenol oxidases. We know that some of these enzymes are present in olives - they have been detected even in olive oil. I don't know how active they are in unripe olives. We also cannot rule out bacterial activity, particularly if the water content of an oil is fairly high. Incidentally, what is the water content of extra virgin olive oil? Is it a problem? Alfred Poulos Megisti Oils www.megistioils.com Last edited by johnat : May 3rd, 2006 at 05:33 AM. |
