Research about enzyme application in olive oil extraction processing can be effective in obtaining higher yields, faster oil & water separation leading to smoother operation of machinery, less residual oil in the pomace and improved oil clarity. Pectinase enzymes are used extensively around the world in fruit juice and wine industries and increasingly in…

Why every grower should ask their olive processor to use Enzymes?
Did you know that all Olive Oil is Enzyme extracted? Olive Oil is said to be the fruit juice of the olive. 96 – 98% of the oil is found in the flesh (mesocarp) and skin (epicarp). The remaining oil is found in the pit (endocarp). The majority of oil is located in the vacuoles…
So what are enzymes and what are they responsible for?
FACT: Enzymes are responsible for the softening of the olive during maturation in olive oil production process. FACT: Industrial Enzymes used in the olive oil extraction process are the same as in the fruit. Industrial Enzymes have been used for fruit juice production for many years. As Olive Oil is the fruit juice of the…
