BACKGROUND: Several studies demonstrate a strong interest in learning more about phenolic transfer during oil extraction, with themain goal of increasing the phenolic concentration in olive oils.We aimed to propose and apply a new methodological approach for evaluating phenolic transfer from olives into oil duringmilling, based on the quantification of phenolic content in whole lyophilized fruits and the corresponding oils and considering the oil extraction yields. RESULTS:We investigated the phenols transferred into the oil during olivemilling in continuous extraction systems in Tuscany. In 2012, oils were extracted fromcultivar Frantoio by a two-phase extraction system; in 2016, oils were extracted fromcultivars Leccio del Corno and Arbequina by a three-phase extraction system. Results highlighted very low percentages of extracted phenols: up to 0.40% by the two-phase system and up to 0.19% by the three-phase system (0.08% for cultivar Arbequina and 0.19% for cultivar Leccio del Corno). CONCLUSION: The usefulness of a simple and effective methodological approach for evaluating the extracted phenols was highlighted. Values of extracted phenols were up to 25 times lower than previous literature data. The proposed approach is applicable in all types of milling processes.
