Abstract

AbstractSome important olive cultivars (Kilis yağlık, Halhalı, Karamani, Haşebi, Nizip yağlık) in East Mediterranean Area were studied. Olive fruits were processed on a low‐scale mill equipped with a basket centrifuge. Basic quality parameters, the content of total polyphenols, o‐diphenols, oxidation stability (Rancimat) and antiradical activity [1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)] were determined in oil samples. The highest induction period (IP) was 36.42 h, found in the Halhalı cultivar (from Gaziantep province), which also had strong radical scavenging activity (RSA) (96.72% in methanol:water extract and 94.91% in total oil) in all samples. The total phenol and o‐diphenol content for this cultivar were 495.42 and 76.89 mg caffeic acid/kg oil, respectively. The oxidation stability and antiradical activity of the Kilis yağlık cultivar (from Kilis province) was very poor when compared to other cultivar (IP; 10.40 h, RSA in methanol: water extract; 30.94%, RSA in total oil; 52.31%). In addition total phenol and o‐diphenol content for this cultivar were 38.31 and 5.03 mg caffeic acid/kg oil, respectively.
