Botulism was believed to be a rare disease in both the US and UK in the 1920's, until two deadly outbreaks altered that view and launched public health measures to control it. In the United States, the ripe olive scare of 1920 found glass-packaged olives linked to multiple deaths. In the United Kingdom, eight deaths from glass-potted duck paste, in the summer of 1922 at Loch Maree, Scotland will always be associated with botulism.

Department of Chemistry, University of La Rioja, 26006 Logroño, Spain.
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
- The study investigates the grapevine's phenotypic plasticity and how its response to different environments is influenced by genetic and environmental interactions.
- It involves RNA sequencing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Aglianico grape berries from different locations in Italy, revealing 11,887 differentially expressed genes, with Aglianico showing more significant responses.
- The research highlights the correlation between weather conditions and gene expression, identifying key genes that may serve as markers for grape quality and genetic identification based on growing conditions.*
Potassium Hydroxide Extraction of Polyphenols from Olive Leaves: Effect on Color and Acrylamide Formation in Black Ripe Olives.

October 2024
Food Biotechnology Department, Instituto de la Grasa (IG), CSIC, Ctra. Utrera km 1, Building 46, 41013 Seville, Spain.
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.
New and Rapid Analytical Method Using HPLC-MS Detection for Acrylamide Determination in Black Ripe Olives.

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.
