Volatile Profile of Two-Phase Olive Pomace (Alperujo) by HS-SPME-GC-MS as a Key to Defining Volatile Markers of Sensory Defects Caused by Biological Phenomena in Virgin Olive Oil.

ABSTRACT: An olive pomace from the two-phase decanter stored in different conditions was used as a model to simulate the detrimental biological phenomena occurring during olive oil processing and storage. A group of EVOO and defective oils were also analyzed. The volatile fraction was studied with HS-SPME-GC-MS; 127 volatiles were identified (55 of which tentatively identified) and evaluated over time. Seven volatiles were tentatively identified for the first time in olive oil; the role of C6 alcohols in detrimental biological phenomena was highlighted. Suitable volatile markers for defects of microbiological origin were defined, particularly the fusty/muddy sediment. They were then applied to olive oils with different quality categories; one of the markers was able to discriminate among EVOOs and a
