  • What is olive pomace?
  • 1. Introduction Historically, olive pomace, a by-product of virgin olive milling process, is treated in pomace factories to extract pomace oil. This takes place on a seasonal basis, accompanying virgin oil seasonal production, and allows for the recovery of a certain amount of oil.
  • Does olive pomace contain PUFA?
  • When compared to other oils used, for example, in cosmetic formulations, the lipid fraction of the olive pomace has a lower content in PUFA. Almond, apricot, and grapeseed oils have been used in cosmetic formulations.
  • How to make olive oil from pomace?
  • Two different techniques can be used for olive oil production: the two-phase method or the three-phase method. In the first one, no water is added and a humid semi-solid pomace is obtained as by-product (wet olive pomace).
  • Is olive pomace oil raw or unrefined?
  • The solvent, typically hexane, is added to the pomace which causes the oil to be extracted from the pulp. Once that has taken place, the solvent will be removed leaving dry pulp and separate oil. The resulting oil is known as crude (or raw, or unrefined) olive pomace oil. Is Olive Pomace Oil Refined?
  • How much olive pomace is produced per 100 kg?
  • On average, 35–40 kg of olive pomace are released per 100 kg of olives and the estimated production in the European Union Countries is more than 4.0 ⋅ 10 6 m 3 /yr . Olive pomace is typically constituted by water, olive skin, olive pulp, olive kernels and oil.
  • Why is olive pomace a good source of antioxidants?
  • Overall, the lipid fraction of the olive pomace is a source of antioxidants such as vitamin E, namely its more biologically active form: α-tocopherol; in addition, the high MUFA content of this oil is favourable to further applications in food and cosmetics formulations due to its higher oxidative stability compared with other PUFA-rich oils.
