Resumo(s)
This thesis aimed to highlight the importance that traditional olive mills still have among small olive growers, through the analysis of socio-economic and environmental aspects.
The study took place in Sertã (Beira Interior region), at the Cooperativa Agrícola dos Olivicultores de Palhais. The adopted methodology included monitoring of the olive oil production cycle of, fromolive harvesting to its processing, and subsequently physico-chemical analyzes of olive, olive pomace and wastewater from olive washing and olive oil clean-up.
The results obtained allowed us to conclude that there are some aspects of processing procedure that should be improved in order to optimize the quality of olive oil as it was classified as “Lampante”. On the other hand, it would be necessary to do a more complete environmental evaluation, especially regarding the characterization and quantification of the different wastewater streams and its quantification, in order to be able to propose more sustainable alternatives than the ones currently implemented. However, it should be noticed that it was possible to illustrate the fact that traditional olive mills play a key role at a social level, in the communities where they are located.
