Description
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. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
