Abstract
The degradation by heat of surface colour and texture of pickled green olives has been studied with the aim of optimising the thermal treatments used for their conservation. A first order kinetics has been assumed in order to be able to quantify this degradation for temperatures between 70 and 100°C. The equations obtained for the thermal destruction times of colour (pasteurisation units at 60°C, PU = 16·2 min and z = 74·3 C) and texture (PU = 26·6 min and z = 62·8°C) allow affirmation that these organoleptic characteristics are not affected by the thermal pasteurisation treatments necessary to guarantee the product's stability.Keywords
