OLIVE NEUTRALISATION METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the neutralisation of olives which have been subjected to alkaline treatment, involving the application of carbon dioxide (CO2). The inventive method is performed in a closed, waterless container housing the olives. According to the invention, the gas is injected into the aforementioned container and the container is maintained at overpressure. In this way, dry neutralisation is performed, i.e. disposing with the normal need for water, thereby eliminating the standard discharges and considerably reducing the neutralisation time.
