Optimizing the Malaxation Conditions to Produce an Arbequina EVOO with High Content of Bioactive Compounds

To meet the growing demand for high-quality extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) with health-promoting properties and pleasant sensory properties, studies are needed to establish optimal production parameters. Bioactive components of EVOO, including phenolic compounds, carotenoids, chlorophylls, tocopherol...
