- Abstract
The characteristics of eight varieties of virgin olive oil (Arbosana, Arbequina, Coratina, Cornicabra, Frantoio, Koroneiki, Picual, and Ezhi 8) obtained in two successive crops in the southwest of China (Xichang, Sichuan Province) were investigated. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed in physicochemical properties, fatty acid profile, minor component contents, and oxidative stability between different varieties of olive oils. The physicochemical properties of all samples met IOC standards for extra virgin olive oil, while in Koroneiki, olive oils were present the optimum oxidation stability among studied varieties. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) showed a good classification between varieties based on their qualitative characteristics. Koroneiki and Ezhi 8 olive oils were significantly different from other varieties mainly due to color, fatty acid profile, and minor components. PCA result also showed that harvest crop influences the characteristics of samples mainly due to the variance of temperature and rainfall.
