    Abstract:
    The storage of olives in large hoppers is a widespread practice in oil mills, but these large volumes and their unloading can cause a physical deterioration of the olives that will affect the quality of the oil obtained. This research deals with the effect of hopper charge on the formation of alkyl alcohols in olive fruits and its relationship with the sensory quality losses of ‘Arbequina’ virgin olive oil. The contents of ethanol, methanol, and acetaldehyde were measured in olive samples loaded and stored for a short time in a large hopper and analyzed at three different hopper-discharging times, which are related to three different positions inside the hopper. The corresponding oil from each sampling was obtained by using ABENCOR and was evaluated by a trained tasting panel. Results showed that the ethanol content in olives increased during their storage in the hopper, while methanol and acetaldehyde contents did not show significant differences. Regarding their position in the hopper, fruits located at the bottom or on the lateral sides showed a greater deterioration. The sensory analyses showed an inverse relationship between the positive attributes of olive oils and their content of alcohols.
