Olives are a fruit known and valued by humans since 4 thousand years. Many sources indicate that the homeland of olives was Mesopotamia, from where they spread to the Mediterranean countries. Paintings dating back to 2000 BC found during excavations in Mesopotamia show kings offering olives to their guests. Symbolizing peace, friendship and fertility throughout history, olives spread to the Aegean and Mediterranean with the campaigns of Alexander the Great. The Romans, who occupied the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts in later ages, met olives thanks to the Phrygians and Phoenicians. The olives carried to Europe in amphorae by Roman ships thus opened up to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we look at the world in general, approximately 1200 olive varieties are produced on 10 million hectares in nearly 37 countries, 98% of which are in Mediterranean countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Oil Olive Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil is a greenish, yellowish colored, liquid oil that can be consumed as a liquid at room temperature, obtained in its natural state, without any chemical treatment, without any additives, by squeezing directly from the fruit of the olive tree. Its difference from vegetable oils such as sunflower, soybean, cottonseed and corn oil is that it is produced naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Recommendations<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Since olive oil is obtained by squeezing the fleshy fruit of olives together with the seeds, it is a “fruit juice” unlike other edible oils obtained from seeds. It is raw and pure, like freshly squeezed orange or cherry juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil does not have a fixed composition. This is because olive oil varies according to the type of olives used, the year of production, the region where the olives come from and the method of pressing the olives. It also varies from year to year. Olive oil is a complex composition of fatty acids, vitamins, volatile components, water-soluble components and microscopic olive particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations for preparing olive oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Olives should be picked at the ideal ripeness, by hand or by machine so as not to damage the fruit, without contact with the soil. The quality of olives picked from the ground is lower than the quality of olives picked from the tree. Microbial or enzymatic spoilage as a result of fruit damage during harvesting also leads to low quality oil. Olives should be brought to the plant as soon as possible after harvesting in food-grade, ventilated plastic crates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaf Separation and Washing: The olives that come to the plant and are accepted must be cleaned from stones, soil and foreign materials and washed before processing. Foreign substances reduce the quality of the oil and negatively affect sensory properties such as taste and smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crushing The olives, which are washed and cleaned from foreign materials, are subjected to crushing and crushing process in order to release the oil droplets in their cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kneading: After the olives have been crushed, especially when metal mills are used, they must be kneaded, an important step in the preparation of the dough for the subsequent separation of the solid-liquid phases. The kneading process has an important function in coalescing the oil drops to facilitate solid-liquid separation. What is olive oil<\/a>, information about the history of olive oil >><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation: Although it varies according to the production technology, in the traditional system based on density difference, liquid-liquid phase separation is performed using natural settling or centrifugation. At this stage, it is aimed to completely separate oil, water and pulp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which vitamins are in olive oil?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Olive is the basic nutrient in human nutrition with its edible oil that can reach up to 33%. It provides a balanced diet with its vitamins, minerals, proteins and flavorings. Although the amount of protein is low, its nutritional quality is high because it contains all amino acids. Aleuropein, one of the aromatic substances of olives, which manifests itself as bitterness in olives, prevents olives from being consumed directly after harvest. It is known that aleuropein is altered as a result of lactic acid fermentation or hydrolysis with alkali and aromatic substances are formed instead.Coarse fiber is found in olives in a balanced way, because coarse fiber facilitates digestion.Other components of olives are Ca, Fe, Mg as minerals; Provitamin A, Vitamin C and Thiamine from the vitamins group. In addition to all this information, it should be remembered that the components of the fruit flesh vary from variety to variety. Moreover, even within the same variety, it is not possible to give the exact composition of olives due to cultural practices, soil characteristics, harvest, climatic events and fruit ripeness, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
