Soaps made from blends of Virgin olive oil (VOO), and Salvia officinalis L were evaluated for total fatty acid composition, pigments, and aroma composition. In this study we have used 12 different preparations: soaps with only VOO, soaps derived from a blend between VOO and essential oil of Salvia officinalis (from 1% to 0.05% of essential oil; some samples of soaps were prepared with essential oil added to VOO before saponification and other one’s after saponification), soaps derived from a mixture of olive fruit with the herbs of Salvia officinalis L in the steps of crushing and soaps prepared from husk olive oil. Our results exhibited that the fatty acid profile was the same for all samples obtained from different process. However, minor compounds such as pigments and aromatic profiles exhibited a large variation between all samples. Soaps produced from the mixture of olive fruits and the herbs were the richest in pigments, followed by soaps obtained from husk oil

Abstract
Soaps made from blends of Virgin olive oil (VOO), and Salvia officinalis L were evaluated for total fatty acid composition, pigments, and aroma composition. In this study we have used 12 different preparations: soaps with only VOO, soaps derived from a blend between VOO and essential oil of Salvia officinalis (from 1% to 0.05% of essential oil; some samples of soaps were prepared with essential oil added to VOO before saponification and other one’s after saponification), soaps derived from a mixture of olive fruit with the herbs of Salvia officinalis L in the steps of crushing and soaps prepared from husk olive oil. Our results exhibited that the fatty acid profile was the same for all samples obtained from different process. However, minor compounds such as pigments and aromatic profiles exhibited a large variation between all samples. Soaps produced from the mixture of olive fruits and the herbs were the richest in pigments, followed by soaps obtained from husk oilI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
