TL;DR: In this article, partial removal of some of the organic matter and phenolic compounds, by aerobic pretreatment with Geotrichum candidum is described, which provides a partially purified effluent that, for the same COD level as that of the original OMW, is degraded anaerobically more rapidly than original OMW as a result of the increase in methanogenic activity.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite-difference, non-linear, least-squares algorithm was used to estimate kinetic parameters by obtaining a best fit of the experimental data to the classical Monod growth and substrate utilization model.

TL;DR: The results statistically analyzed in this paper showed that the oils obtained by the two phase mode showed a greater concentration of phenolic compounds than the homologous oils obtained in the three phase mode.

TL;DR: The color of up to 1700 virgin olive oil samples obtained from diverse Spanish varieties and from drupes at different maturity stages was analyzed by considering the CIELAB and CIELUV uniform colour spaces.

TL;DR: In this article, the anaerobic digestibility of two-phases olive mill solid waste (OMSW) was carried out in a laboratory-scale completely stirred tank reactor at mesophilic temperature (35 °C).
