Question

If the statement "light" appears on the front of an olive oil bottle, this indicates that the oil: a. is lower in monounsaturated fats than virgin olive oil b. has likely been extracted chemically rather than mechanically c. contains bitter-tasting phytochemicals d. is generally more costly than virgin olive oil e. is lower in calories than virgin olive oil

Answer 1

Answer:

b. has likely been extracted chemically rather than mechanically.

Explanation:                                          

When the oil extraction is mechanical, olives are squeezed with a machine till the oil comes out, the olive oil is of higher quality because there were no chemicals that interfered in the process. On the other hand, chemical extraction of oil from olives uses different substances to obtain the final product making the oil to be of low quality because some components were affected during the process
