In this research, 12 Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) were collected
from Iran’s northern and southern provinces including Zard, Roghani, Dezful,
and Mari cultivars were studied. Free fatty acid content (%), Peroxide value
(meq O2/kg sample), and fatty acid composition of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
were analyzed. Results showed that Iran’s northern EVOOs have more unsaturated
fatty acid (Oleic, Linoleic, Linolenic acids) than southern in general. On the
other hand, saturated fatty acids content (Palmitic, and Stearic acids) were
higher in southern EVOOs. But free fatty acid content (%) and Peroxide value
(meq O2/kg sample) showed that oxidation stability of southern EVOOs was higher
than northern.
