Phenoils European Project | Year II

PHENOILS CONFRONTS THE START OLIVE SEASON 2021 IN THE SECOND ANNUITY OF THE EUROPEAN PROJECT.
Acesur is the project manager of this second annuity of PHENOILS project again (European I+D project with the financial support of EIT Food), whose olive season has started 1º October 2021.
This project is being carried on by a consortium of entities which work for the benefit of quality and technology innovation in the international olive sector, such as CSIC, University of Turin, Fraunhofer, EPS and Acesur.
Four different locations in RIS regions, where olive sector has a main importance in their economic and social development, have been chosen for the tests and trainings that will be carried out (Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece).
The project will follow two ways in 2021, high pilot scale tests will be carried out by CSIC-IG (Seville) and University of Turin, while in Portugal, industrial scale tests will be coordinated by EPS. The technologies selected for this annuity are PEF (electromagnetic pulses field) and Ultrasounds (US), which will be tested independently and combined.
The tests will be carried out with Arbequina, Manzanilla, Coratina and Taggiasca cultivars, at the optimal ripening stage, approximately around the first 15 days of November.
All the partners face this new season with optimism aiming to clearer results that allow to find the best technology for a new extra-virgin olive oil with a high amount of polyphenols, which overcome EFSA´s requirements for the healthy quality labelling and thus lead to even more valuable properties for consumers.
