GEMLİK ZEYTİN ÇEŞİDİNDE FARKLI KLONLARA AİT ZEYTİNYAĞLARIN SAHİP OLDUĞU FONKSİYONEL VE DUYUSAL ÖZELLİKLER İLE RAF ÖMRÜNÜN BELİRLENMESİ.

Ataturk Central Horticultural Research Institute managed a clonal selection project on Gemlik cultivar and its result indicated that, G20/1 and G20/7 showed desired agronomic characteristics compared to other clones. In this research maturity index of olives and DL-alpha-tocopherol, chlorophyll and total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, oxidative stability and sensory characters of olive oils of G20/1 and G20/7 clones and Gemlik cultivar which cultivated under same condition were determined during three years. Olive oil of G20/7 clone had higher total phenolic content and antioxidant activity than Gemlik olive oil but lesser fruity, bitterness and pungency value was determined in olive oils of G20/1 and G20/7 clones than that's of Gemlik. Statistically significant differences were not determined between DL-alpha-tocopherol and chlorophyll content and induction time of olive oils. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
