The last annuity of the Phenoils project,, leaded by Acesur, has been launched
after positive results of the previous two annuities.
This project aims to obtain a healthier extra virgin olive oil with a high content
of polyphenols using innovative extraction technologies.
In this third annuity, as a last step, Acesur together with CSIC-Instituto de la Grasa,
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft organization, University of Turin and Energy Pulses Systems
will apply on an industrial scale the promising innovative technologies tested in 2021,
which provided satisfying results in the production of EVOOs.
It has been planned to carry out all the extraction tests using autochthonous olive
cultivars from locations selected for the study (RIS zones), as in the previous annuities
of the project.
As a result, PHENOILS, in addition to working on the development of new technologies for more sustainable and profitable extraction, comes closer to the goal of obtaining healthier EVOOs with a high content of polyphenols, which are recognised by their beneficial properties on health.

Thanks to habitual consumption, they provide preventive effects in some relevant diseases such as diabetes, obesity or cardiovascular diseases, as described in several peer-reviewed articles in the literature.
Both the results obtained and the improvements expected by these new technologies,
will continue to be disseminated in several universities and technological training
centres, thus bringing scientific knowledge in this matter closer to producers,
operators and students from the international olive sector in RIS countries, such as
Italy, Spain, Greece. In addition, as a new contribution in this year, it is intended to
develop these outreach actions also in Croatia.
PHENOILS promotes the advancement and transfer of extractive innovations
developed in the olive oil sector, consolidating a technological leap in the sector itself
in terms of quality and economic profitability of the EVOO production processes.
