The quality of the oil is significantly influenced by a multitude of factors that can affect it even during the growth stage of the fruit its contact with parasites, micro organisms, moisture, oxygen, intense light, temperature. This is all determined by measuring certain physicochemical parameters such as acidity the peroxide value and ultraviolet absorption (K270 / K232 / FR). For the virgin quality the criteria includes a sensory evaluation.
