Olive oil is composed of two fractions, the saponifiable fraction and the nonsaponifiable fraction. The saponifiable fraction constitutes 98% to 99% of the oil by weight and contains most of the fatty acids; 80% of these are the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFC) and oleic acid. Other acids are also present, albeit, in much smaller quantities. These include stearic, palmitic, linoleic, and α-linoleic acids. The nonsaponifiable fraction contains the minor constituents of olive oil and includes many different compounds including phenols, sterols, hydrocarbons, pigments, volatile compounds, aliphatic compounds, and esters including waxes and pigments such as chlorophylls and tocopherols. There are a number of hydrocarbons present in olive oil, including phenanthrene, perylene, chrysene, and pyrene, although the most abundant is squalene, from which sterols are biosynthesized. Sterol tetracyclines are a subgroup of steroids, and those found in olive oil include β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol.
