Enhancement of the anaerobic digestion of olive mill wastewater by the removal of phenolic inhibitors
TL;DR: In this article, partial removal of some of the organic matter and phenolic compounds, by aerobic pretreatment with Geotrichum candidum is described, which provides a partially purified effluent that, for the same COD level as that of the original OMW, is degraded anaerobically more rapidly than original OMW as a result of the increase in methanogenic activity.

Impact of the main phenolic compounds of olive mill wastewater (OMW) on the kinetics of acetoclastic methanogenesis
TL;DR: In this article, a finite-difference, non-linear, least-squares algorithm was used to estimate kinetic parameters by obtaining a best fit of the experimental data to the classical Monod growth and substrate utilization model.

Effects of Talc Addition and Operating Mode on the Quality and Oxidative Stability of Virgin Olive Oils Obtained by Centrifugation
TL;DR: The results statistically analyzed in this paper showed that the oils obtained by the two phase mode showed a greater concentration of phenolic compounds than the homologous oils obtained in the three phase mode.

A comprehensive study on the colour of virgin olive oils and its relationship with their chlorophylls and carotenoids indexes (II): CIELUV and CIELAB uniform colour spaces
TL;DR: The color of up to 1700 virgin olive oil samples obtained from diverse Spanish varieties and from drupes at different maturity stages was analyzed by considering the CIELAB and CIELUV uniform colour spaces.

A study of anaerobic digestibility of two-phases olive mill solid waste (OMSW) at mesophilic temperature.
TL;DR: In this article, the anaerobic digestibility of two-phases olive mill solid waste (OMSW) was carried out in a laboratory-scale completely stirred tank reactor at mesophilic temperature (35 °C).
