ISE (Istituto Sperimentale per la Elaiotecnia)
ISE is a research institution of the Italian Ministry of Agriculture
specialized in studies on olive fruits and olive oil, which provides
support for the olive oil and table olive industries both within
and outside Italy. ISE consists of three departments specialized
in researches on olive oil chemistry, technological process of oil
extraction and processing methodologies of fruits to be consumed
as table olives.
More precisely the main task of the Oil Chemistry Department is
the development of methodologies able to define the olive oil quality,
to establish its geographical origin and to assess its authenticity.
In the framework of the olive oil quality, ISE played a key role
in developing sensory methodologies on virgin olive oil, actually
included in EU regulations.
The Elaiotecnica Department is mainly oriented to technological
aspects and interested to the optimisation of the oil extraction
systems in relation to the achievement of both the highest yields
and the better oil quality.
The Table olive Department is directed to the identification of
olive tree varieties suitable to be processed as table olives, to
the study and development of innovative processing technologies
and to researches on physical-chemical properties related to the
sensory characteristics of processed fruits.

of plant origin (freezing, canning, dehydration, juice making etc),
(c) Technology of milk, fish and related products, (d) Food biotechnology
with main emphasis on the management of agro-industrial wastes.
ITAP has greatly contributed to scientific research and technology
in the sector of table olives and it is held in high esteem by the
industry. In addition, ITAP has an excellent collaboration with
the Greek Association of table olive producers, packers and exporters,
a body that encompasses the majority of table olive industries in
Greece.

Ministry of Consumer Protection, Nutrition and Agriculture in administration
and (national and EU) legislation concerns. Its research activities
cover all kind of questions related to nutrition and food. The biological,
chemical and physical properties of raw materials, their constituents
and final products are studied for food and non-food use. The Research
Centre has six sites located in Karlsruhe, Kiel, Kulmbach, Detmold,
Hamburg and Muenster.
The Institute for Lipid Research in Muenster has 23 employees, 7
are scientists. The acting head of the institute is Dr. Nikolaus
Weber. In the work carried out in the Institute for Lipid Research
emphasis is given to problems resulting from production, processing
and modification of fats and oils and their respective raw materials.
In this context, the development of new physical-chemical methods
of analysis is of particular importance, especially to implement
the framework of laws and regulations set by the Federal Government
and the European Union. This includes the development of criteria
that assess applicability and precision of analytical methods and
their use for the investigation of fats and minor components, as
well as the development of new methods for the determination of
other components of oilseeds and new types of seeds, including renewable
resources. Research also focused on the recovery of constituents
of renewable raw materials, their chemical and technical utilization,
