Companies are finding promising ways to use the nutrient-filled residue from olive-oil production. Olive oil is a multibillion-euro global business and Manuel Román is determined to create an even bigger market from the sacred ancient fruit. Román is co-founder of ISANATUR, a Spanish company that has built a refinery able to turn every part
At NIZO we have been working on the optimization of our in vitro technologies for the assessment of potential health benefits of plant extracts. In parallel, a small number of olive leaf extracts and pure polyphenols have already been tested. We applied our Gut Health Discovery Platform (GHDP), starting with fecal batch fermentations in
The pharmaceutical technique research group of University of Florence (UNIFI) developed different nanocarriers (microemulsions, solid dispersions and polymeric micelles) to enhance solubility, permeability and pharmaceutical properties of oleanolic acid (OA), a triterpene enriched extract (TTPs ext) and an oleuropein extract (OLE) (Figure 1). All these formulations were tested in terms of water solubility, storage
The past few months saw the annual olive harvesting spree. The endeavour starts at slow pace only to quickly escalate into a frenzy of overburdened farmers who generally call upon the strength of the whole family to get the job done. Most employ every possible hand at their disposal which means that many will concentrate
Halfway through OLEAF4VALUE: from the valorisation of olive leaves to the exploitation of high value-added biobased products OLEAF4VALUE is a BBI-JU, H2020-funded EU project that aims to extend the useful life of olive leaves, solving the problem of their removal from the fields while obtaining high added-value bioactive products with high-market potential. The project will
IPB group has developed different Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) to aid with the production of tailor made bioproducts from diverse olive leaf extracts. The IPB work comprise the design, synthesis, characterization and testing of MIPs to target secoiridoids, triterpenic acids, flavonoids and lignans. The developed MIP particles were tested with the processing of different kinds
Did you know that Agriculture provides most of the world's food and fabrics? Most of us are familiar with the term "Agriculture", however, do we actually know how meaningful its significance is? Are we actually aware of how important this term can be to our daily living? According to World Bank
