摘要：Chilling and freezing injuries of olives harvested in geographically high elevated locations may affect the quality of olive, and subsequently lead to oil with a poor quality. This study was aiming to investigate the influence of whether changes and freezing condition on the quality of extracted olive oil. The olive Koroneiki cultivar obtained from two origins was stored at three different temperatures (20, 5 and -18 °C) before oil extraction and common analyses (oil yield, acidity, peroxide value, thiobarbitorik acid value, total phenolics level, and color) were carried out in different time intervals (0, 20, 40, and 60 days) in order to assess the olive oil quality. Our data revealed that longer storage times significantly (P 5 > 20 °C. No significant negative effect (P < 0.05) was found for the samples kept at -18 °C, compared to 5 °C. Also, the geographical source of olive had a statistically significant influence (P < 0.05) on the quality of olive oil.
