Quantification of Corn, Canola and Olive Oils in Mixtures Containing All Three Oils
Aspectrics produced an application note to describe the ability of its MultiComponent™ 2750 EP-NIR analyzer to achieve unequivocal quantification of corn, canola and olive oils.
Coupled to an external Aspectrics halogen NIR source and a 2mm pathlength process transmission multimode fiber probe, the analyzer provides quantification of the percentage volume of corn, canola and olive oils in mixtures containing all three oils.
This new Aspectrics application note is available to download free-of-charge via the company’s website.
Entitled “Quantification of Corn, Canola and Olive Oils in Mixtures Containing All Three Oils Using an Apsectrics MC2750 EP-NIR Spectrometer,” this new application note shows conclusively that the revolutionary EP-NIR spectrometer is capable of collecting sufficient Near-IR information to allow for the difficult quantification of various oils, in a mixture of samples, without false positive response. In addition, the new application note proves the exceptional performance of a Process Transmission Multimode fiber probe, when coupled with the post-dispersive EP-NIR spectrometer. Lastly, the importance of access to the extended Near IR range was clearly demonstrated as very significant source, with spectral information being identified in the 2000-2600 nm range.

Algérie: 500 millions de dinars pour l’olive
Dans le cadre du repeuplement et du rajeunissement de l’oliveraie, une enveloppe de 500 millions de dinars vient d’être allouée au secteur faisant, ces derniers temps, l’objet d’un intérêt particulier des pouvoirs publics qui mettent désormais le paquet sur l’oléiculture source de devises fortes, pour de nombreux pays, nos voisins des deux rives surtout.
Des oliveraies de 15 communes du nord de la wilaya seront réhabilitées sachant que les oliviers commencent à vieillir. Cette opération et bien d’autres rentrent dans le cadre du programme complémentaire initié par le président de la République lors de sa dernière visite à Sétif.
Notons que M. Nasri a été désigné président de la section locale de la Commission nationale des producteurs et exportateurs de l’huile d’olive. Ghellache Boubaker prend, quant à lui, la direction du bureau de l’Est, regroupant les wilayas de Skikda, Béjaïa, Tizi Ouzou, Guelma, Khenchela, Batna, Sétif et Bordj Bou Arréridj.

La Tunisie au salon Fancy Food Show 2007 à New York
La Tunisie a participé, du 8 au 10 juillet 2007, à la 53ème édition du salon international des produits Agro-alimentaires “Fancy Food Show”, à New York.
Une dizaine d’entreprises tunisiennes ont exposé une variété de produits agro-alimentaires, notamment l’huile d’olive extra vierge, en bouteilles, et huiles biologiques, les dattes naturelles fraîches et conditionnées, les semi-conserves, les conserves alimentaires et les pattes d’artichaut.
Outre un nombre important de professionnels, le pavillon tunisien a accueilli les ambassadeurs de Tunisie accrédités à Washington et auprès des Nations Unies à New York.
Ces visites ont été l’occasion d’échanges avec les exposants tunisiens sur l’importance et les exigences du marché américain et sur la meilleure approche à adopter.
A signaler que 73 pays d’Europe, d’Amérique du Nord et du sud, d’Afrique, d’Asie et de l’Océanie, participent à cette 53ème édition du salon, le plus important du secteur dans la région.

There’s a lot of good with olives
By Judith W. Winne,
Olives have a rich history. They go way back.
Olive trees are among the oldest cultivated trees in the world, grown before written language was invented, according to the Web site oliveoilsource. The site notes that olive oil anointed early kings of the Greeks and the Jews, as well as triumphant athletes.
Olives are key ingredients in green and leafy salads, as well as cold pastas. They are also wonderful as art of a delicious antipasto — roasted peppers, prosciutto, a nice provolone or fresh mozzarella and some great olives.
So what’s good?
It’s kind of like asking what flavor ice cream is worth buying. If all you know is green and black, pitted and unpitted, canned or jarred, you’re missing some big tastes.
You may want to start by visiting a store with a vast olive selection. At the Wegmans in Mount Laurel and Cherry Hill, the olive bar is stocked with dozens of varieties. One row has all the pitted olives, the other the olives with pits.
Descriptions for good olives read like explanations of wine or cheese, complex and vivid in their specificity.
Check out the description for Barnier Hot Tunisian Mix olives: “Meaty green and black olives enlivened with pepper, spices, hot pimientos and zesty lemon slices. Spicy with a sweet undertone of cinnamon.”
Or Alfonso: “Large, soft and fleshy olives with a vibrant purple hue. Sweet and tart with a winey flavor.”
Details for the Black Cerignola describe an olive grown in “fertile volcanic soil” in Italy.

Compound From Olive-pomace Oil Inhibits HIV Spread
Researchers from the University of Granada and Hospital Carlos III in Madrid, verified that maslinic acid – found in wax from olive skin – inhibits serin-protease, the enzyme used by HIV to release itself from the infected cell into the extracellular environment.
Olive oil has become part of the fight against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) – the cause of AIDS – thanks to the research carried out by the Bionat team, from the University of Granada, headed by Prof. Andrés García-Granados, senior lecturer in Organic Chemistry. Their work shows that maslinic acid – a natural product extracted from dry olive-pomace oil in oil mills – inhibits serin-protease, an enzyme used by HIV to release itself from the infected cell into the extracellular environment and, consequently, to spread the infection into the whole body. These scientists from Granada determined that the use of olive-pomace oil can produce an 80% slowing down in AIDS spreading in the body.
Maslinic or crataegolic acid is a pentacyclic terpene with antioxidant and anticancer effects found in wax from olive skin, alongside oleanolic acid. The effects of this compound in the fight against AIDS are simultaneously being studied in the UGR and in Hospital Carlos III in Madrid by a team headed by Prof. Vallejo Nájera.
Maslinic acid innovative properties stem from its powerful protease-inhibition activity, allowing researchers from Granada to register two patents on behalf of the UGR to produce drugs for treatment of diseases caused by protozoa Cryptosporidium – a parasite causing small intestine infection and diarrhoea – and by HIV. The University of Granada has already registered almost ten other patents related to this compound’s properties.
