Thus, some selected strains of LAB (lactic acid bacteria) and yeasts were inoculated into brines of Bella di Cerignola olives (Spanish style), as a single starter (LAB or yeasts) or a combined preparation (LAB + yeasts) and compared to a natural fermentation, focusing on the performances of the process (acidification, production of lactic acid) and trying to verify the basic assumption. LAB and yeasts were grown in the opportune lab media and then directly inoculated in brine after the lye treatment. LAB exerts a kind of benefit (increased content of lactic acid) only for 2 - 3 weeks;then, the inoculated samples behave in the same way as not-inoculated ones. Thus, this research underlined that a starter culture, not prepared in the correct way, could not be useful to guide the fermentation.展开更多

Facing to these situations, many simple and efficient practices for combating desertification had been tested since many years in the Tunisian arid zones. The mulching of the olive mill wastewaters is one of these techniques. Otherwise, an olive mill wastewaters spray experimental device, with these respective doses of 50 m3/ha, 100 m3/ha and 200 m3/ha next to a witness parcel without OMW, has been putted in place since 1995 in the Chammakh-Zarzis, Tunisia. The mulching of the OMW, in the southern Tunisian regions constitutes an interesting alternative for the controlled and rational evacuation of this polluting sewage on the one hand and for the soil cohesion improvement by： （i） the increase of the organic matter rate which raised, in proportion to the dose, from 0.06% to 1.27% after 10 years of OMW mulching, and （ii） the improvement of the soil structural stability or ~＇the mean weight diameter＂ where the aggregation rate superior to 2 mm is increased until 34% with the dose of 200 m3/ha. Therefore, that treatment will bind the sand particles and thereof control of sandstorms is gained. Indeed, the results in wind tunnel tests on the soil treated with these different doses of OMW showed that the threshold friction velocity u,t was raised from 8.5 m/s to 12 m/s for 50 m3/ha and 200 m3/ha, respectively.展开更多

For this purpose five sites along the Texas coastline （Seadrift, Galveston, Brazoria, Santa Fe, and Orange） were evaluated for feasibility of growing olives. In addition, two non-coastal sites （Carrizo Springs and Weslaco） were also included in the study for comparative purposes. Flowering and fruiting data were collected during four seasons starting from the 2005-2006 until the 2008-2009 season. In addition to the flowering and fruiting data, half-hourly temperature data were also collected at each site during each season. The results indicate that while olives can grow on all of the sites tested, there is a greater probability of success for commercial growing of olive between and along coastal sites where large scale experiment are highly recommended for rigorous evaluation of potential for commercial production of olives in these areas. In conclusion, there is a good probability that olives could be grown along the northeast coastline of Texas.展开更多

Both are characterized by a high concentration of bioactive compounds with health beneficial effects. Thanks to these features, table olives and sea fennel undoubtedly represent two valuable ingredients for the manufacture of innovative vegetable preserves. Given these premises, the present study was aimed at exploring the co-fermentation of green olives and sea fennel to produce laboratory-scale prototypes of innovative high value preserves. To this end, the effects of two recipes, two standard methods for production of table olives, and two fermentation microbiota (resident or inoculated) were assessed. The prototypes were evaluated for their microbial dynamics as well as for key sensory traits by a panel of trained assessors. During the fermentation, all the prototypes showed a progressive pH reduction. Mesophilic lactobacilli, mesophilic lactococci, and yeasts were the main microbial groups at the end of the fermentation, while Enterobacteriaceae decreased during fermentation. Metataxonomic analysis revealed an evolution of the microbiota, with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum dominating in all the prototypes in the late stage of fermentation, irrespective of the recipe, processing method, and starter inoculation. A greater crunchiness and lower fibrousness were perceived in the Greek style prototypes, which were preferred than Spanish style prototypes by trained panelists.展开更多
