Abstract
Chemical analysis of volatile aromatic components has one of the leading roles in the determination of the quality and specificity of olive oils, next to the sensory analysis. The sensory analysis is performed by a quantitative descriptive analysis and the results are represented in the form of aromograms which give all sensory parameters important for olive oil aroma. Therefore the recent researches are pointed in qulitative and quantitative determination of these compunds and in monitoring their content as a function of cultivar, processing type and period, and storage conditions. Within the project framework use and development of an up to date analytical method using Head Space and GLC determination will be established. Then the content of volatile components will be analysed in the different samples of olive oils. We expect that the characterization of olive oils from Slovenian region would be done on these results. The possible correlation between biophenols content, bitterness index and Panel test results of Slovenian olive oils will be studied as well.
