Therefore, the main objective of this work was to compare different treatments and optimize various classical and original spectrophotometric methods in order to evaluate the most appropriate and reproducible one for the determination of the phenolic content as well as the antioxidant capacity of olive oil. In addition, the combination of microwaves and sodium citrate tested at two concentrations (150 and 300 g/L) followed by a malaxation step for 20 min yielded good results in terms of polyphenols content compared with the conventional treatment. However, the shortest time of sonication treatment (10 min) led to the highest phenolic content determined by both Folin and gold nanoparticles methods (7.5 and 14.7 mg of gallic acid equivalent/kg of oil, respectively). This study provides assistance to the Virgin Olive Oil (VOO) sector by optimizing extraction procedures and introducing these different techniques with affecting the oil extraction yield. |
