Supplementary materials References Figures (5) Tables (2) Table Table 1 Table Table 2 Highlights • An olive oil–rich diet has beneficial effects on C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 compared with low-fat diets. • The effect of olive oil is more pronounced in trials over 3 mo. • Future dietary interventions should detail the type of olive oil used. The aim of this review was to summarize evidence from randomized controlled trials on the effect of regular dietary intake of olive oil on three inflammatory markers: C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Reviewed RCTs reveal beneficial effects of olive oil by reducing levels of inflammation markers.

Conclusions Acknowledgment References Figures (3) Tables (2) Table Table 1 Table Table 2 Highlights • US consumers know that olive oil has health benefits, but not the specifics. • Focus groups and surveys can be combined to study consumer behavior. • US consumer attitudes show potential for growth in consumption of domestic olive oil. Abstract A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to gain an understanding of the relevant factors affecting purchase and consumption behavior for olive oil among American consumers living in Northern California.

Despite Slow Food"s championing of small producers, it is often the big firms rather than families of artisans that are able to access international markets. /// L'huile d'olive, en tant que marchandise, jouit d'un prestige particulier dans l'économie mondiale. Anthropologica is published for CASCA by University of Toronto Press Publisher Information In February 1974 a group of 120 anthropologists launched the Canadian Ethnology Society/société canadienne d'ethnologie (CESCE), because they felt there was room for an association of anthropologists separate from the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association (CSAA) which was dominated by sociologists.

Olive oil is going from strength to strength, not only in the food market but also in gastronomic tourism, since it is considered a “gourmet” ingredient that is highly appreciated by consumers for its ability to increase the aroma and flavor of foods (Loizzo et al., 2021 ). However, it has not yet been sufficiently exploited at a tourist level, despite the efforts of many public bodies and private entities to turn this region into a quality gastronomic destination. The marketing of olive oil as a gastronomic product can prompt the consumer to discover more about the areas of cultivation and the way of producing it, making it not only a food product but also a tourist product (oleotourism). The consumer is an increasingly demanding figure, who seeks in the consumption of food products not only a way to satisfy their food needs, but also to seek new experiences, feelings, emotions, nature, new services, culture, etc. (Clodoveo et al., 2020 ). These culinary experiences become valuable and rewarding tourist attractions, as indicated by Long (2003) , Ab Karim and Chi (2010) , Millán Vazquez De La Torre et al. (2016) and Fusté-Forné (2019) . On these culinary tours revolving around the designations of origin of olive oil, the oleotourist can:• Appreciate the landscape of the olive grove. • Visit oil mills, which is where olive oil is manufactured either by traditional means or using the new olive press technologies.

Five samples (Oi 1, Oi 3, Oi 6, Oi 7 and Oi 8) were judged as EVOOs whereas samples Oi 2, Oi 4 and Oi 5 turned out to be EVOOs or virgin olive oils according to the specific lab. It is important to note that this olive oil has a FAEE concentration 2.60) whereas samples Ou 4 and Ou 7 were classified as virgin olive oil due to the high FAEE content (>35 mg/kg). Sample Ou 5 turned out to be virgin olive oil because of the high content of FAEE (>35 mg/kg) in the case of Ligurian and Venetian labs or for both K 270 value (0.22

The potential of excitation-emission fluorescence spectroscopy combined with three-way analysis was investigated for discriminating the photosystem II (PSII) (with the water-oxidizing complex) and without the water-oxidizing complex (wPSII) using unsupervised classification methods. Both techniques were applied to the excitation-emission fluorescence matrices (EEM) of solutions at two of different pH values (2.0 and 12.0). Three fluorescent components were found for all samples that are related to tyrosine (Tyr), tryptophan (Trp) and phenylalanine (Phe) amino acids.

A new bride in Ancient Rome anointed the door posts of her new husband's house before she was carried over the threshold; uxor, the word for wife, is derived from the word for ‘anointress’ (Bowie 1993 Bowie, Angus . 1993 . “Oil in Ancient Greece and Rome ”.
