Table 4.

Concentration of tentatively identified volatile compounds in the virgin olive oil samples and in those flavored with orange, orange by-product, and orange by-product with black pepper, expressed in mg/kg. Letters of significance refer to ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD (p ≤ 0.05). TEST_1, TEST_2 = olive oil control samples; AR = co-milled olive oil produced by milling olives and entire oranges; ST_AR = co-milled olive oil produced by milling olives and orange pomace; ST_AR_P = co-milled olive oil produced by milling olives with orange pomace and black pepper. Roman numbers indicate different tentatively identified stereoisomers forms. LRI = Linear Retention Index (Kovats Indexes).
