The goal of this work was to monitor the hydrophilic profile of the virgin olive oil (VOO)
of the second main Tunisian variety, ‘‘Chétoui”, in order to achieve a better understanding of the
behavior of the bioactive phenolic compounds during 0, 2, 5, 10, and 15 min of microwave heating
at medium power 800 W, and 0, 2.5, and 5 h of conventional heating at 180 ºC. The extent of the
oxidative and hydrolytic degradation of the different phenolic subclasses was evaluated using highperformance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry
(TOF-MS) method. During heating process, the most represented component in Chétoui VOO
was found to be isomer 1 and 2 of deacetoxy oleuropein aglycone, and hydroxy decarboxy oleuropein
aglycon. These compounds may be considered as direct markers for the degree of transformation
of secoiridoids during heating process. Among the studied phenolic compounds,
hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, luteolin and apigenin displayed the highest heating resistance in the whole
time range of microwave and conventional applications. However, the main secoiridoids quantified
in the fresh VOO, isomer 2 of oleuropein aglycone, and ligstroside aglycone, decreased in concentration
with the thermal treatment and this decrease was drastic under conventional heating.
