It has been shown that RCCR activity in olive fruits is type II.
PaO and RCCR activity developed an evolution during the ripening of olive fruits.
Five NCCs have been identified by HPLC/ESI-TOF-MS2 in olive fruits.
Differences in profile of NCCs to varietal level were found for the first time.
In olive fruits the catabolic pathway is similar as in foliar senescence.
