Effect of Olive Press Methods on The Oil Quantity and Quality

The research was aimed to study the effect of olive press methods on the oil quantity and quality. The results showed the following: The method of press Olive effect to the quantity of Olive oil so the results of oil quantity from olive fruite press in mechanical olive press method more above from half mechanical method and from traditional method ( the witness). The increase of quantity between mechanical and traditional method was 60% and between mechanical half mechanical method was 27% and bween half mechanical and traditional method was 28%. The method of press Olive effect to the of Olive oil quantitatively the results of oil quantitatively from olive fruit press in mechanical olive press machines to surpass half mechanical olive press that is the flavor and color best and Acidity presumption and peroccid number is less .

A study of the competitive capability of the Syrian olive oil exports

The objective of this research was to identify the potentials of Syrian olive oil exports through studying the current situation of the Syrian olive oil in the world and local markets and the most important factors effecting its competitiveness capabilities in the world markets. This study was built on analyzing the primary data obtained from the delivered questionnaires, searches lists and personal interviews with the exporting and manufacturing companies (30 companies) of Syrian olive oil. Some of the economic indicators were calculated to determine the competiveness status in the import markets. Results indicated that the Syrian olive oil exports had suffered from low competitiveness indicators of production which was 0.12 in the most important import markets for the studied period. In addition, the increased pricing levels compared with other competitors in the same markets had reached an average of 3083.98 dollars per ton representing 106% of world export price, high production costs, the reduction of the market penetration rate related to Syrian olive oil exports in the most important markets amounted to about 0.245 during the second period of the study. The low value of the dependence on export indicator compared with the competitive countries where Syria occupied the seventh place .This means that Syria doesn’t have a good export efficiency, lack of marketing researches on the foreign markets, the absence of promotional programs the restrictions applied by the European Union on the exports of Syrian olive oil, lack of access to all distribution outlets due to the dependence of the exported companies on the exclusive agents in the process of distribution and marketing. The results had recommended that the establishment of a comprehensive database and accurate studies is very necessary for the Syrian exported products, in addition to detailed studies about the major and promising markets to Syrian olive oil exports, iImproving the Syrian business environment to encourage the foreign direct investment to support the competitiveness of Syrian olive oil exports.

Evaluation of Some Migration Parameters Between the Virgin Olive Oil and the High Density Polyethylene

هدفَ البحث إلى كشف احتمال حدوث هجرة متعاكسة بين المواد المضافة إلى البولي إيثيلـين عـالي الكثافة المستخدم في صناعة عبوات تعبئة زيت الزيتون البكر و الزيت المعبـأ، و قـد صـممت التجربـة بالاعتماد على حبيبات البولي إيثيلين من جهة للحصول على أعلى سطح تماس ممكن بزيـت الزيتـون، و باستخدام نوعين منها أحدها أبيض اللون و الثاني أحمر، كما درس تأثير كل من زمـن التمـاس بـين الحبيبات و الزيت و زمن تخزين الزيت من جهة أخرى. و لتحديد ما يجري فعلاً عند تخـزين الزيـت فـي العبوات البلاستيكية بأبسط الطرائق، درس كل من رقم الحموضة، و رقم البيروكسيد، و لزوجـة الزيـت، و كشف وجود مركبات الدايينات المهاجرة على موجة امتصاص UV)232nm) ، فضلاً عن دراسة العـد الكلي للأحياء الدقيقة (لكشف احتمال وجود مثبطات نمو)، و الاختبارات الحسية. كما قيست إمكانية حدوث هجرة للزيت إلى حبيبات البولي إيثيلين.
