This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact

Written by experts in the field of table olives, this book is a source of recent research advances on the characterization and processing of table olives. Research papers are provided relating to the characterization of their composition of volatiles and the sensory profile; mineral composition and bioavailability; changes in bioactive components (chlorophylls) by processing; and new strategies to reduce sodium and additives for stabilizing the organoleptic properties and avoiding defects in table olives. Other research papers are included in relation to microbiological and chemical changes in table olives during spontaneous or controlled fermentation employing different cultivars, and the optimized use of starter cultures for the improvement of the different fermentative processes. In addition, this book includes an overview of the main technologies used for olive fermentation, including the role of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts characterizing this process, and of the processing and storage effects on the nutritional and sensory properties of table olives.

Technology: general issues --- table olives --- starter cultures --- GC-MC analysis --- volatile composition --- bitterness --- consumer willingness to pay --- descriptive sensory analysis --- green-olive flavor --- “Manzanilla” cultivar --- pit hardening --- regulated deficit irrigation --- panel performance --- panelist --- black ripe table olives --- sensory descriptors --- sensory profile --- fermentation --- microbiological changes --- organoleptic --- physicochemical --- Clostridium --- logistic regression --- acid-adapted strains --- predictive models --- fermented vegetables --- undefined biodiverse starters --- autochtonous cultures --- lactic acid bacteria --- Lactobacillus pentosus --- Tonda di Cagliari --- table olive --- phenolic compounds --- oleuropein --- LAB --- yeasts --- fermented food --- probiotic table olives --- non-dairy probiotics --- sodium --- potassium --- calcium --- magnesium --- iron --- phosphorus --- darkened by oxidation olives --- Miller’s protocol --- Crews’ protocol --- post-digest re-extraction --- minerals --- sea salt --- PGI --- iodized salt --- functional food --- composition --- nutritional properties --- polyphenols --- sensory analysis --- chlorophyll --- pigments --- allomerization --- alkaline treatment --- phytyl-chlorin --- phytyl-rhodin --- Bella di Cerignola --- brines --- microbiological quality --- user-friendly spreadsheet --- producers --- bioaccessibility --- mineral nutrients --- pigment composition
