This work aims to apply isothermal calorimetry for the determination of the oxidative stability of bulk oils by deriving kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The method consists of measuring the heat flow produced during the oxidation of the oils in the presence of oxygen. To this purpose, an oil was recovered from olive seeds, the solid waste derived from the transformation of olives, by using two different technologies: supercritical carbon dioxide and mechanical press.
