Abstract
This data set contains the underlying data of the scientific publication: Casadei et al., 2024. Valorization of monovarietal Nostrana di Brisighella extra virgin olive oils: focus on bioactive compounds. This publication will soon be submitted to a scientific journal.
The study focuses on different agronomic variables in order to optimize the presence of bioactive components of monovarietal Nostrana di Brisighella extra virgin olive oils. In fact, fruits were obtained through integrated pest management or organic farming and picked at four increasing indices of maturity, corresponding to four successive weeks of harvesting, namely positive volatile and phenolic compounds. Especially the latter allow health claims of olive oil related to phenolic content (derivatives of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol) and positive sensory attributes (fruity, bitter, and punget) that are known to be associated with volatile and phenolic molecules.
This research work is developed within the project funded under the PSR 2014-2020 program – Type of Operation 16.2 “INnovazione e PROmozione della filiera dell’OLIO extra vergine di oliva emiliano-romagnolo (INPRO-OLIO)” and Dr. Enrico Casadei's research activity is financed within the project funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) - NextGenerationEU “ON Foods - Research and innovation network on food and nutrition Sustainability, Safety and Security - Working ON Foods”.

Content of the file 
File “NostranadiBrisighellaExtraVirginOliveOils20240215.ods” contains six Excel Sheets (respectively named: “Maturity Index”, “Sensory analysis”, “Volatile compounds analysis”, “Total phenolic content (TPC)”, “Phenolics - No hydrolysis”, “Phenolics - Acid hydrolysis”), in which the olive oil samples obtained from olives of “Nostrana di Brisighella” cv. cultivated with different agronomic systems (integrated pest management, samples named with the letter “A” vs organic farming, samples named with the letter “B”) are compared in terms of maturity index, volatile compounds, phenolic fraction, and sensory attributes.
File specifics
To create the .ods file, “Excel” version: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 was used.
