METHOD FOR OBTAINING OLIVE OIL AND AT LEAST ONE EXTRACT CONCENTRATED IN POLYPHENOLS AND A FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENT

A method comprising the stages of: olive input (1), separation (2) of the stone from the olive skin and pulp, with the removal of the whole stone (3); electric pulsing of the olive paste generated in the previous stage (4), process of dehydration (5) of the pulsed olive paste up to a humidity of less than 30% in a continuous vacuum drying machine and subsequent separation of the oil (6) by centrifugation of the olive oil, followed by dehydration (8) of the degreased pulp up to a humidity of less than 10%; and lastly, application of supercritical fluids (9) (CO2with or without modifier) to the degreased and dehydrated pulp, under agitation, pressure, temperature and time conditions, obtaining olive extracts (10) and olive flour (11). The generation of waste, consumption of water, use of highly toxic solvents and loss of the sensory quality of the oil is avoided, the yields improved and the necessary times reduced.
