O presente trabalho analisa os resultados de alguns parâmetros físico-químicos de cinco azeites monovarietais (Olea europaea cv. "Cordovil de Castelo Branco", "Cobrançosa", "Conserva de Elvas", "Galega vulgar" e "Picual"). O material experimental reporta-se à campanha de 2000/01 e provém de olivais situados em três regiões portuguesas - Elvas, Castelo Branco e Santarém. Os azeites foram extraídos em equipamento experimental Oliomio e as análises aqui abordadas são: ácidos gordos, polifenóis totais, esteróis e estabilidade oxidativa. A análise dos componentes principais evidencia, para as cultivares "Cordovil de Castelo Branco" e "Conserva de Elvas" um comportamento homogéneo nas três regiões em estudo.

Portuguese growers of “Beira Interior”, an inland region in the centre of Portugal, start harvesting olives only in late November or December and finish in January and sometimes February. Studies on olive ripening carried out in different groves showed that, in general, oil content (% d.w.) stabilises during November and ripening index rises regularly throughout the sampling period. However, there were some differences among cultivars. The results suggest that harvest can begin from mid- -October to the 1st fortnight of November, according to location, for ‘Galega’, in the 1st fortnight of December for ‘Bical’, in the 1st fortnight of November for ‘Carrasquinha‘ and in the 2nd fortnight of November for ‘Cornicabra’, therefore harvest time should begin long before the traditional time.
Beira Baixa olive oil is mainly produced with Galega cv. Galega olive ouil is veryu stable and provides flavour and taste that are traditional for portuguese consumers. Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco cvs. are also important in the olive grove of the region. The goal of this study is to understand the role of the composition of the monovariety olive oils (mainly fatty acid composition and total phenol compounds) on the quality of Beira Baixa olive oil. Results for sterols are also shown.
The three main cultivars of Olea europaea L. at Beira Baixa are Galega vulgar, Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco. Humidity and oil content, by NMR, for the monovariety olive pastes were studied for two years, 1998/99 and 1999/2000.The results showed that Galega vulgar had significantly lower oil content when compared with Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco; but Bical and Cordovil de Castelo Branco did not differ significantly from each other concerning this parameter.The humidity values observed for the three cultivars are significantly different: Cordovil presents similar values during the three harvests while Galega vulgar and Bical showed their maximum values at the second harvest.
