Italian term

elaiotecnica

Italian to English Science Agriculture Olive oil production
A course to be held for people in various positions in some way connected to the olive oil production chain

Elaiotecnica:
il corso tratterà argomenti relativi alla tecnica della produzione di olio ma anche di prodotti che possono costituire delle interessanti opportunità di investimento nel settore olivicolo, quali le olive conservate e prodotti derivati dalle olive

I cannot find 'elaiotechnics' in any dictionary and on the Net I find it used only by Italian- and Spanish- speaking contributors. Can anyone tell me whether it is a 'real' word, maybe a neologism, or whether I should be using an explanatory title such as '(Study of) Oil and olive products'?

Many thanks in advance

. Glad to be of help.

BTW, in that document you can find the exact expression "olive oil technology".

olive growing and oil technology thanks again to both of you. Texjax is right, my whole text is about olive oil only, so the link you gave me to 'olive growing and olive technology' is just what I needed!
texjax DDS PhD Jan 15, 2011:
Olive oil http://portail2.reseau-concept.net/Upload/ciheam/fichiers/Ol...
It seems that the question refers specifically to olive oil, but the asker knows better of course.

generic terms Elaiotecnica is a generic term covering any technology involving vegetable oils, whether in the field of food technology (sic), paint technology, fuel technology or whatever. In the 'food technology' subdivision of 'elaiotecnica' you will find people dealing not just with olive oil but also sunflower and maize oils, to name just two.

From the context we have, it's possible the course includes references to other vegetable oils, so jumping straight to olive oil in the title could be entirely inappropriate.
Lorraine Buckley (X) (asker) Jan 15, 2011:
not so sure While thanking both posters for their contributions, on consulting references, they are all about technology (use for fuel, in paint industry etc) and oil, whereas this is about the production & food side of olives, rather less technological. Perhaps 'olive oil and olive product technology'?

Note from asker:
many thanks, mediamatrix! Also for the wide range of references.
thanks for your help anyway. Of course you are right that elaiotecnologia is a generic term, but in my context, as I had specified, it was all and only about olives. I chose texjax also because he was 2 mins earlier submitting, but honorary 4 points to you too!

agree BdiL : I agree 100 percent that it is a generic term, since elaios just means oil (not in the sense of "mineral oil" evidently!). Maurizio
