Extra Virgin Solvents
By David Bradley,
Extracting oil from olives requires solvents and residues of halogenated solvent can sometimes leave a toxic taint in the product. European Union rules restricted the acceptable levels of these residues for the sake of public health but new sensitive and precise analytical procedures are needed to allow strict quality control and regulatory testing to be carried out.

Byzantine farming book discovered
Kagoshima University has discovered a four-volume agricultural book that was printed in Leipzig, Germany, in the late 18th century.
The 1,500-page opus–a copy of a 10th century Byzantine book–is written in Greek and Latin, and was found in the state-run university’s library storeroom in mid-July when librarians were inspecting old documents to create a database.

Olives and olive oil in cancer prevention.
ANNIEAPPLESEEDPROJECT
The data show that populations within Europe that consume the so-called ‘Mediterranean diet’ have lower incidences of major illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Studies have suggested that the health-conferring benefits of the Mediterranean diet are due mainly to a high consumption of fibre, fish, fruits and vegetables.
More recent research has focused on other important factors such as olives and olive oil. Obviously fibre (especially wholegrain-derived products), fruits and vegetables supply an important source of dietary antioxidants.
What is the contribution from olives and olive oil? Apparently the potential is extremely high but epidemiologic studies rarely investigate consumption of these very important products in-depth, perhaps due to a lack of exact information on the types and amounts of antioxidants present.
