Extra virgin olive oil traceability and authenticity are important quality indicators, and are currently the subject of exhaustive research, for developing methods to secure olive oil origin-related issues. The aim of this study was the development of a classification model capable of olive cultivar identification based on olive oil chemical composition. To achieve our aim, 385 samples of two Greek and three Italian olive cultivars were collected during two successive crop years from different locations in the coastline part of western Greece and southern Italy and analyzed for their chemical characteristics. Principal Component Analysis showed trends of differentiation among olive cultivars within or between the crop years. Artificial intelligence model of the XGBoost machine learning algorithm showed high performance in classifying the five olive cultivars from the pooled samples.

subsp. (), a quarantine pathogen in the European Union, severely threatens Mediterranean olive production, especially in southern Italy, where Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS) has devastated Apulian olive groves. This study addresses the urgent need to identify resistant olive genotypes by monitoring 16 potentially tolerant genotypes over six years, assessing symptom severity and bacterial load.

The water channel AQP3 is an aquaglyceroporin expressed in villus epithelial cells, and it plays a role in water transport across human colonic surface cells. Beyond water, AQP3 can mediate glycerol and HO transport. Abnormal expression and function of AQP3 have been found in various diseases often characterized by altered cell growth and proliferation.

Sustainable agro-waste revaluation is critical to enhance the profitability and environmental footprint of the olive oil industry. Herein, the valorization of olive leaf pruning waste from five cultivars ('Caiazzana', 'Carolea', 'Itrana', 'Leccino', and 'Frantoio') employed green extraction methods to recover compounds with potential health benefits. Sequential ultrasound-assisted maceration (UAM) in -hexane and ethanol was compared with a compressed fluid extraction strategy consisting of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) for their efficiency in recovering distinct classes of bioactives.

The fruit supply chain requires simple, non-destructive, and fast tools for quality evaluation both in the field and during the post-harvest phase. In this study, a portable visible and near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectrophotometer and a portable Vis/NIR hyperspectral imaging (HSI) device were tested to highlight genetic differences among apricot cultivars, and to develop multi-cultivar and multi-year models for the most important marketable attributes (total soluble solids, TSS; titratable acidity, TA; dry matter, DM). To do this, the fruits of seventeen cultivars from a single experimental orchard harvested at the commercial maturity stage were considered.

Background: Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) nuts are among the most popular nuts. The pistachio cultivars are tolerant to both drought and salinity, which is why they are extensively grown in the arid, saline, and hot regions of the Middle East, Mediterranean countries, and the United States.
