Changes in Polyphenolic Concentrations of Table Olives (cv. Itrana) Produced Under Different Irrigation Regimes During Spontaneous or Inoculated Fermentation.

ABSTRACT: Irrigation is widely used for the production of table olives because it increases fruit size and yield. However, irrigation also determines less accumulation of total phenols, an increase in water content, a decrease of firmness, lower concentrations of soluble sugars in the mesocarp, thus positively or negatively affecting the fermentation process for the production of table olives. In this study we tested the hypothesis that green fruits of cultivar Itrana obtained by different irrigation regimes had different phenolic concentration that responded differentially to spontaneous or inoculated fermentation. Fruits were harvested from two orchards in the Latina province of Latium, Italy, which had been irrigated with different volumes of water during the growing season to compare the evoluti
