Extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) from five Turkish olive cultivars were studied for their various properties, including antioxidant capacity, phenolic content, pigment content, fatty acid profiles, phenolic compounds, volatile compounds, and sensory properties. The results showed that the olive cultivar used significantly affected all properties of the EVOO samples. Domat olive oil exhibited the highest quality among the oils studied.
Extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) obtained from five Turkish olive cultivars widely produced in the Aegean and Marmara regions were investigated based on their total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC), pigment contents, fatty acid (FA) profiles, phenolic compounds (PC), volatile compounds (VC), and sensory properties. The results showed that all properties of EVOO samples were significantly affected by the olive cultivar used. The pigment contents in Ayvalik (9.90 mg center dot kg(-1)) and Uslu (9.00 mg center dot kg(-1)) oils were higher than the others (p < 0.05). The greatest values for oleic acid (74.13%) and TPC (350.6 mg center dot kg(-1)) were observed in Gemlik and Domat oils, respectively (p < 0.05). Edincik oil showed the maximum hydroxytyrosol content (48.022 mg center dot kg(-1)) and TAC value (515.36 mg TE center dot kg(-1)) (p < 0.05). The Edincik, Domat, and Uslu oils were significantly not different for the total content of C6 compounds derived by lipoxygenase, which are the main volatiles responsible for the typical aroma of EVOOs (p > 0.05). Domat oil also exhibited the highest scores for bitterness and pungency perceptions (p < 0.05). The fruitiness scores of the oil samples (except for Ayvalik oil) were close to each other, even if they were statistically different (p < 0.05). Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that the Ayvalik oil was separated from the others due to its poor-quality characteristics. As a result, it can be stated that Domat olive oil has better quality than the others.
