Abstract(s)

Phenolic compounds of olive tree (Olea europaea) are considered one of the responsibles of the health-promoting of Mediterranean diet. Indeed, recent studies on isolated phenolic compounds have found a number of applications in increasing human immune response. The olive leaves, known to be rich in phenolic compounds, are a by-product of pruning and mechanical harvesting of olives. In the present work, started in November 2015, optimization in extraction and in component analysis has been achieved.
