Effect of increasing amounts of olive crude phenolic concentrate in the diet of dairy ewes on rumen liquor and milk fatty acid composition

Agro-industrial by-products contain several secondary plant metabolites, such as polyphenols, tannins, saponins, and essential oils. The effects of these compounds on animal metabolism may vary significantly according to the dose, the chemical nature of the molecules, and the overall composition of the diet. In the Mediterranean area, the olive oil extraction is associated with 2 by-products: olive pomace and wastewater, both rich in polyphenols. In particular, wastewater may be further processed to obtain olive crude phenolic concentrate (OCPC). An experiment was carried out aiming to evaluate animal performance, milk fatty acid (FA) profile, diversity of rumen microbial population, and rumen liquor FA profile in dairy ewes fed diets containing extruded linseed (EL) and increasing doses of OCPC. Twenty-eight Comisana ewes in mid lactation were allotted to 4 experimental groups. The experiment lasted 5 wk after 3 wk of adaptation. Diets were characterized by lucerne hay administrated ad libitum and by 800 g/ewe and day of 4 experimental concentrates containing 22% of EL on dry matter and increasing dose of OCPC: 0 (L0), 0.6 (L0.6), 0.8 (L0.8), and 1.2 (L1.2) g of OCPC/kg of dry matter. Milk yield was daily recorded and milk composition was analyzed weekly. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment, samples of rumen liquor were collected to analyze FA profile, changes in rumen microbial population, and dimethylacetal (DMA) composition. The inclusion of OCPC did not affect milk yield and gross composition, whereas milk from L0.8 and L1.2 sheep contained higher concentrations of linoleic (+18%) and α-linolenic acid (+24%) and lower concentration of the rumen biohydrogenation intermediates. A similar pattern was observed for rumen liquor FA composition. No differences were found in the diversity of the rumen microbial population. Total amount of DMA did not differ among treatments, whereas significant differences were found in the concentration of individual DMA; in the diet with a higher amount of OCPC, DMA 13:0, 14:0, 15:0, and 18:0 increased, whereas DMA 16:0 decreased. Probably the presence of polyphenols in the diet induced a rearrangement of bacteria membrane phospholipids as a response to the rumen environment stimulus. Overall, the use of OCPC allowed a significant increase in the polyunsaturated FA content of milk, probably due to a perturbation of the rumen biohydrogenation process. Further studies are needed to understand the correlation between diet composition and the pattern of DMA in rumen liquor.     

Characterisation of phenolic extracts from olive pulp and olive pomace by electrospray mass spectrometry

Methanol extracts of olive pomace (two‐phase olive oil extraction) and olive pulp were analysed by reverse phase HPLC and the eluted fractions were characterised by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. This technique allowed the identification of some common phenolic compounds, namely, verbascoside, rutin, caffeoyl‐quinic acid, luteolin‐4‐glucoside and 11‐methyl‐oleoside. Hydroxytyrosol‐1′‐β‐glucoside, luteolin‐7‐rutinoside and oleoside were also detected. Moreover, this technique enabled the identification, for the first time in Olea europaea tissues, of two oleoside derivatives, 6′‐β‐glucopyranosyl‐oleoside and 6′‐β‐rhamnopyranosyl‐oleoside, and of 10‐hydroxy‐oleuropein. Also, an oleuropein glucoside that had previously been identified in olive leaves was now detected in olive fruit, both in olive pulp and olive pomace. With the exception of oleoside and oleuropein, the majority of phenolic compounds were found to occur in equivalent amounts in olive pulp and olive pomace. Oleoside was the main phenolic compound in olive pulp (31.6 mg g^?1) but was reduced to 3.6 mg g^?1 in olive pomace, and oleuropein (2.7 mg g^?1 in the pulp) almost disappeared (<0.1 mg g^?1 in the pomace). Both these phenolic compounds were degraded during the olive oil extraction process. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of olive ripeness on chemical properties and phenolic composition of chétoui virgin olive oil

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present work was to investigate the influence of fruit ripening on oil quality in an attempt to establish an optimum harvesting time for Chétoui olives, the second main olive variety cultivated in Tunisia. RESULTS: Our results showed that many analytical parameters, i.e., peroxide value, UV absorbance at 232 and 270 nm, chlorophyll pigments, carotenoids and oleic acid contents decreased during ripening, whilst oil content and linolenic acid increased. Free acidity remained practically stable with a very slight rise at the highest maturity index. The trend of oxidative stability, total phenols and o‐diphenols, showed an increase at the early stages followed by a reduction at more advanced stages of maturity. The major phenolic compounds, such as hydroxytyrosol, ligstroside aglycon, elenolic acid, acetoxy‐pinoresinol and oleuropein aglycon, seemed to have the same behaviour. In the case of tyrosol, a strong decrease was observed directly related with the ripening progress. CONLUSION: On the basis of the evolution of the analytical parameters studied, the best stage of Chétoui olive fruits for oil processing seems to be at ripeness index higher than 2.0 and lower than 3.0.

A review of nutritional and physiological factors affecting goat milk lipid synthesis and lipolysis

Although the effect of lactation stage is similar, the responses of milk yield and composition (fat and protein contents) to different types of lipid supplements differ greatly between goats and cows. Milk fat content increases with almost all studied fat supplements in goats but not in cows. However, the response of milk fatty acid (FA) composition is similar, at least for major FA, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in goats and cows supplemented with either protected or unprotected lipid supplements. Goat milk CLA content increases sharply after either vegetable oil supplementation or fresh grass feeding, but does not change markedly when goats receive whole untreated oilseeds. Important interactions are observed between the nature of forages and of oil supplements on trans-10 and trans-11 C18:1 and CLA. Peculiarities of goat milk FA composition and lipolytic system play an important role in the development of either goat flavor (release of branched, medium-chain FA) or rancidity (excessive release of butyric acid). The lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, although lower in goat than in cow milk, is more bound to the fat globules and better correlated to spontaneous lipolysis in goat milk. The regulation of spontaneous lipolysis differs widely between goats and cows. Goat milk lipolysis and LPL activity vary considerably and in parallel across goat breeds or genotypes, and are low during early and late lactation, as well as when animals are underfed or receive a diet supplemented with protected or unprotected vegetable oils. This could contribute to decreases in the specific flavor of goat dairy products with diets rich in fat.     

Effect of storage on refined and husk olive oils composition: Stabilization by addition of natural antioxidants from Chemlali olive leaves

Two samples of refined olive and husk oils have been analysed in order to evaluate the influence of storage time on their quality. The following parameters were determined: peroxide values, absorption coefficients K270 and K232, Rancimat induction time, sterols and fatty acid contents. Six months storage at 50 °C in the dark revealed a loss in oil stability. This finding was reflected by the greater increase in peroxide value and a decrease of Rancimat induction time and sterol content. The enrichment of refined olive and husk oils with olive leaves and its hydrolysate extract resulted in an appreciable resistance to oxidative deterioration due to its phenolic antioxidants content. Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol were the major compounds in Chemlali olive leaves extract and hydrolysate solution, respectively. The antiradical activity of leaves extract as well as its hydrolysate solution was evaluated and compared to that of the BHT. The antioxidant activity of the enriched refined olive and husk oils with leaves and hydrolysate extracts at 400 ppm showed that the latter had the highest protective effect against oil oxidation. Oils with added hydrolysate extract had the lower peroxide value and the higher stability measured with a Rancimat method. After six months of storage the induction time increased from 23.3 to 83.5 h for refined olive oil and from 16.6 to 49 h for husk oil. Furthermore, during oil storage, there was no significant variation in fatty acid composition. However, the total sterol concentration of the oils treated with hydrolysate extract increased. The results suggested that hydrolysate and leaves extracts are excellent antioxidants and can serve as substitutes for synthetic antioxidants.

Oil content,phenolic profiling and antioxidant potential of Tunisian olive drupes

BACKGROUND: The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the maturation process of the olive fruit on oil content, phenolic profile and antioxidant activity of four Tunisian cultivars (Zelmati, Chemchali, Chemlali and Chétoui). RESULTS: The average oil content of the studied varieties ranged between 17.50% and 20.25% at the first stage of maturation and from 30.20% to 35% in the last harvest. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of phenolic compounds were carried out using HPLC and LC‐MS/MS. Twenty‐six biophenolic compounds were identified. In all samples, hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein were the major compounds identified while rutin and luteolin 7‐O‐glucoside were the two main flavonoids. The total phenolic content varied from 3.46 to 4.30 g kg^?1 at the first stage of maturation and from 8.71 to 11.52 g kg^?1 of fruit fresh weight at the last maturation phase. Total flavonoid content reached 432.80 mg kg^?1. The antioxidant activity of the extract was evaluated by DPPH and ABTS assays. The IC₅₀ values of the olive extracts ranged from 2.69 to 10.96 µg L^?1 and from 2.15 to 3.03 mmol L^?1 trolox equivalent at the last stage of maturation. CONCLUSION: A relationship between the changes in phenolic content and the physicochemical changes in Tunisian olive fruit during maturation was established. These findings could be used for controlling the production processes and correlating the oil sensorial characteristics to the polyphenolic pattern.

Lipolysis and proteolysis profiles of fresh artisanal goat cheese made with raw milk with 3 different fat contents

The objective of this study was to describe the proteolysis and lipolysis profiles in goat cheese made in the Canary Islands (Spain) using raw milk with 3 different fat contents (0.5, 1.5, and 5%) and ripened for 1, 7, 14, and 28 d. β-Casein was the most abundant protein in all cheeses and at all ripening times. Quantitative analysis showed a general decrease in caseins as ripening progressed, and degradation rates were higher for α_S1-casein than for β-casein and α_S2-casein. Furthermore, the degradation rate during the experimental time decreased with lower fat contents. The α_S2-casein and α_S1-casein levels that remained in full-fat and reduced-fat cheeses were less than those in low-fat cheese. In contrast, β-casein also showed degradation along with ripening, but differences in degradation among the 3 cheese types were not significant at 28 d. The degradation products increased with the ripening time in all cheeses, but they were higher in full-fat cheese than in reduced-fat and low-fat cheeses. The free fatty acid concentration per 100 g of cheese was higher in full-fat cheese than in reduced- and low-fat cheese; however, when the results were expressed as milligrams of free fatty acids per gram of fat in cheese, then lipolysis occurred more rapidly in low-fat cheese than in reduced- and full-fat cheeses. These results may explain the atypical texture and off-flavors found in low-fat goat cheeses, likely the main causes of non-acceptance.

Effect of kappa-casein polymorphism on milk composition in the Orobica goat

The aim of this work was to study the effects of isoelectrofocusing (IEF) milk protein variants on milk composition in the Italian Orobica goat breed, which is characterized by a rather high frequency of the κ-casein (CSN3) B^IEF allele. Significant associations were found between the IEF phenotype and protein and casein percentages. A favorable effect of the CSN3 B^IEF variant was found for both protein and casein percentages, with a codominance trend for the 3 phenotypes: BB > AB > AA. Depending on the selection purpose, emphasis could be given to different κ-casein variants in breeding. The high frequency of B^IEF could be exploited in breeding strategies to improve the protein and casein percentages when cheese making is a selection objective.     

Influence of storage and preservation on fossomatic cell count and composition of goat milk

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of different test conditions on the somatic cell count (SCC) and composition of goat milk. To this end, 3600 tests were performed on 1800 aliquots taken from 40 goat milk samples using a combined instrument set-up based on flow cytometry for SCC and Fourier transform infrared analysis for fat, total protein, lactose, total solids, and freezing point determinations. The conditions tested were storage temperature (refrigeration and freezing), use of a preservative [no preservative (NP), azidiol (AZ), and bronopol (BR)], and age of the milk samples at each storage temperature (24 h to 42 d at refrigeration temperature and 21 to 105 d at freezing temperature). Significant effects on logSCC variation were shown by the storage temperature, the preservation treatment, the interaction of storage temperature × preservation treatment, and milk age within the interaction of storage temperature × preservative. Highest counts were recorded in the BR-preserved milk samples (logSCC = 5.877), and lowest counts were recorded in milk samples preserved using AZ (logSCC = 5.803). The use of frozen/thawed samples led to a significantly decreased logSCC for the treatments AZ and NP; the logSCC was not modified when BR-preserved frozen/thawed samples were analyzed. During storage, variations in the SCC observed for BR-preserved samples stored at refrigeration temperature for up to 25 d and at freezing temperature for all times tested were always <10%. The preservation treatment was the main factor affecting the milk composition variables examined. Highest values of most variables were obtained in the BR-preserved samples, and the lowest values were obtained in the AZ-preserved samples. The freezing point was lower in the preserved samples than in the NP samples. The levels of milk constituents recorded in the BR-preserved samples were independent of both the storage temperature and age of milk sample. Our findings indicate that the freezing point of goat milk must be interpreted according to the preservative used.     

Effect of a diet enriched in whole linseed and sunflower oil on goat milk fatty acid composition and conjugated linoleic acid isomer profile

The aim of the present research was to study changes in milk composition and fatty acid profile, specifically conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and its isomers, in goat milk as affected by dietary supplementation of sun-flower oil and whole linseed (0.81 and 1.84% of dry matter on basal diet, respectively) and to assess the persistency of the response. To achieve this objective, bulk milk from a herd and from 6 individual dairy goats fed a diet supplemented with sunflower oil and whole linseed was monitored for a period of 3 mo. Gas chromatography and silver ion HPLC were used to analyze total CLA content and the isomeric profile of these fatty acids, respectively. The contents of α-linolenic acid increased from 0.35% with the reference diet to 0.62% with the supplemented diet. Similarly, CLA milk content increased from 0.46 to 1.18%. The same pattern was also observed for trans-11 C18:1 (1.38 to 4.05%, respectively) in goat milk after 3 mo of lipid supplementation. In contrast, changes in other trans C18:1 isomers were less remarkable. There was a strong linear correlation between cis-9, trans-11 C18:2, the main CLA isomer, and trans-11 C18:1 under the conditions assayed and their concentration remained stable throughout the duration of the study. Levels of the minor CLA isomers were also enhanced as a consequence of lipid supplementation. The most remarkable increases were observed for 11-13 (trans-trans and trans-cis geometric isomers), whereas trans-7, cis-9 (the second most important CLA isomer from a quantitative point of view) and trans-10, cis-12 increased only slightly with lipid supplementation.     

Effect of pan-frying in extra-virgin olive oil on odour profile, volatile compounds and vitamins

Changes in odour of Arauco (ARA) and Arbequina (ARB) extra-virgin olive oil (OO) were monitored during frying by electronic nose (EN) and solid-phase microextraction–gas chromatography methodologies. Degradation of α- and γ-tocopherols was monitored by HPLC. Electronic nose data and volatile compounds were analysed at intervals of 15 min ( t ₁₅) during 60 min of frying ( t ₆₀). α- and γ-tocopherols were determined at intervals of 5 min ( t ₅) during 30 min of frying ( t ₃₀). Principal components analysis applied to EN data showed one component, PC₁ which accounted 96.6% of the total odour variation. SnO₂ sensors had a positive correlation with PC₁. ARA variety corresponding to frying t ₆₀ had the highest positive correlation with PC_1. Analysis of variance results for volatile compounds showed an increase on production for: 3-methyl butanal, n -pentanal, n -hexanal, n -heptanal and n -nonanal at 15 min of frying for ARB OO and at 30 min for ARA OO. α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol showed an important decrease after the first 5 min of frying for ARB OO and at 15 min for ARA OO.

Influence of filtration on volatile compounds and sensory profile of virgin olive oils

The influence of filtration through a hydrophilic cotton layer on volatile compounds, sensory characteristics and colour of two monovarietal oils was investigated in this study. Volatiles were evaluated using headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography. After the filtration of Bu?a oils only a slight increase in total alcohols was noticed. In filtered ?rna oils a significant decrease of total alcohols and slight changes in total aldehydes, total ketones and total C5 volatile compounds concentration were detected. No significant influence on the sensory scores of oils, but some slight changes in sensorial profiles were noted (slightly higher intensities of sensory characteristics apple and grass, and higher values of the lightness L^∗ in filtered samples). The results point to unequal filtration impact on different monovarietal oils and could be useful in developing targeted technologies for specific monovarietal oils quality improvement.     

Optimisation,characterisation and quantification of phenolic compounds in olive cake

The phenolic compounds in extracts from pressed olive cake were investigated. Free phenolic compounds were extracted from olive cake using methanol. To liberate bound phenolic compounds, the olive cake was subjected to basic and acidic hydrolysis followed by methanol extraction. The individual phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of the extracts were determined. The highest total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were obtained using methanol extraction for 12 h at 70 °C. The RP-HPLC profiles for full-fat and defatted olive cake showed that protocatechuic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, sinapic acid, p-coumaric acid, rutin and hesperidin were the predominant free phenolic compounds. Meanwhile, syringic acid, sinapic acid, caffeic acid and protocatechuic acid were the predominant bound phenolic acids. A positive correlation was observed between total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The results indicated that most of the phenolic compounds in olive products were present in their free forms (75–90% of total phenolic content), while bound phenolic compounds were only a small proportion (10–25%) of total phenolic content.
