Effectiveness of post-harvest treatments for Manzanilla table olives and the suitability of Hojiblanca as a substitute for mechanical harvesting by Paz Shemesh, Arnon Dag, Nizar Abd Elhadi, Reza Ehsani, Louise Ferguson, Ayelet Fishman

“…No significant differences in bruising levels of fermented olives were observed between day (30 °C) and night (20 °C) harvesting (p < 0.05), suggesting that temperature variations did not significantly affect the olive quality. Hojiblanca and Picual olives were more robust during mechanical harvesting with a trunk shaker or electrical comb, however, using an overhead harvester severely damaged even the relatively resistant cultivars. …”
