Abstract

Extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) obtained from five Turkish olive cultivars widely produced in the Aegean and Marmara regions were investigated based on their total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC), pigment contents, fatty acid (FA) profiles, phenolic compounds (PC), volatile compounds (VC), and sensory properties. The results showed that all properties of EVOO samples were significantly affected by the olive cultivar used. The pigment contents in Ayvalık (9.90 mg·kg−1) and Uslu (9.00 mg·kg−1) oils were higher than the others (p < 0.05). The greatest values for oleic acid (74.13%) and TPC (350.6 mg·kg−1) were observed in Gemlik and Domat oils, respectively (p < 0.05). Edincik oil showed the maximum hydroxytyrosol content (48.022 mg·kg−1) and TAC value (515.36 mg TE·kg−1) (p < 0.05). The Edincik, Domat, and Uslu oils were significantly not different for the total content of C6 compounds derived by lipoxygenase, which are the main volatiles responsible for the typical aroma of EVOOs (p > 0.05). Domat oil also exhibited the highest scores for bitterness and pungency perceptions (p < 0.05). The fruitiness scores of the oil samples (except for Ayvalık oil) were close to each other, even if they were statistically different (p < 0.05). Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that the Ayvalık oil was separated from the others due to its poor-quality characteristics. As a result, it can be stated that Domat olive oil has better quality than the others
