– Investigation of a number of different types of olive oil stored in bottles under variable conditions. » Temperature » Oxygen » Light
» One oil stored in different container types
LOW OXIDATIVE STABILITY
Low polyphenols High linolenic acid Low PP Mid C18:2 Low PP Low C18:2 Mid PP High C18:2
MEDIUM OXIDATIVE STABILITY
Mid polyphenols Mid linolenic acid Mid PP Low C18:2 High PP High C18:2 High PP Mid C18:2
HIGH OXIDATIVE STABILITY
High polyphenols Low linolenic acid
Least stable Most stable
PP = total polyphenols C18:2 = linoleic acid

polyphenols consumed in oxidation process
eg presence of oxygen had no effect, identical for all containers
AS-5264-2011 – >35%
– Higher storage temperature – More rapid increase %FFA and PPP, decrease in DAGs and sensory quality – Oxygen exposure – More rapid increase PV and UV absorbance, decrease in antioxidants and sensory quality – Light exposure – More rapid decrease in tocopherols, chlorophyll, sensory quality
– Good indicators of freshness of oil – initial quality and storage conditions important
maintain EVOO quality
