The presence of acrylamide was investigated in different presentations of commercial black ripe olives, a well-known sterilized alkali-treated product. The analysis was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after bromination of acrylamide, using (13C3)acrylamide as internal standard. In-house validation data for commercial ripe olives showed good precision and accuracy of the method, with repeatability below 3% and recoveries between 94 and 105%. Acrylamide was detected in all samples, but its concentration varied significantly from 176 to 1578 microg/kg of pulp. The effects of different processing conditions (two preservation methods and three darkening methods), cultivar (Hojiblanca or Manzanilla), and presentation form (pitted or sliced olives) on acrylamide content were evaluated in experiments performed in an olive-processing plant. All canned samples were sterilized at 121 degrees C for 30 min. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that the effects of darkening method and olive cultivar were the most pronounced. Acrylamide contents did not significantly differ after 6 months of storage. The small amounts of free amino acids and reducing sugars found in olives before sterilization did not significantly correlate with the acrylamide formed.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is one of the main daily food items consumed around the world, particularly in the Mediterranean region, and it has unique organoleptic properties. This study aims to determine the best frying conditions of EVOO supplemented with natural exogenous antioxidants enriched in hydroxytyrosol (HTyr) and its derivatives from olive fruit extract (OFE) to conserve its positive sensorial attributes while minimizing its sensorial defects, in particular, rancidity under high thermal processes. In this study, an experienced panel assessed the sensory attributes of nine EVOO varieties, olive oil 0.

Article Synopsis
- Olive leaves, a byproduct of olive oil production, are being repurposed for extracting beneficial substances like phenolic compounds.
- A study focused on extracting polyphenolic compounds using potassium hydroxide (KOH) from these leaves, which resulted in high concentrations of hydroxytyrosol.
- The extract not only enhanced the color and potassium content of black olives but also reduced acrylamide formation by up to 32%, showing potential for healthier olive products.

The presence of acrylamide, a known human carcinogen, in various heated foods raises significant concerns among consumers. Therefore, the development of a good analytical method is of paramount interest to the scientific community. Keeping this in view, a rapid, simple, reliable, and low-cost analytical method was developed and validated for acrylamide quantification in black ripe olives.
