Olive is a rich source of valuable nutrients and bioactives of medicinal and therapeutic interest. Olive fruit contains appreciable concentration, 1–3% of fresh pulp weight, of hydrophilic (phenolic acids, phenolic alchohols, flavonoids and secoiridoids) and lipophilic (cresols) phenolic compounds that are known to possess multiple biological activities such as antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antidyslipidemic, cardiotonic, laxative, and antiplatelet. Other important compounds present in olive fruit are pectin, organic acids, and pigments. Virgin olive oil (VOO), extracted mechanically from the fruit, is also very popular for its nutritive and health-promoting potential, especially against cardiovascular disorders due to the presence of high levels of monounsaturates and other valuable minor components such as phenolics, phytosterols, tocopherols, carotenoids, chlorophyll and squalene. The cultivar, area of production, harvest time, and the processing techniques employed are some of the factors shown to influence the composition of olive fruit and olive oil. This review focuses comprehensively on the nutrients and high-value bioactives profile as well as medicinal and functional aspects of different parts of olives and its byproducts. Various factors affecting the composition of this food commodity of medicinal value are also discussed.</p> <section id="kwd-group1" class="kwd-group"><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Mediterranean diet, high-value components, bioactives, phytochemicals, virgin olive oil, medicinal uses, therapeutic potential</p></section></section><section id="sec1"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">1. Introduction</h2> <p>The Olive (<em>Olea europaea</em> L.) is a small tree, which belongs to the family <em>Oleaceae</em> and is native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. The tree, famous for its fruit, also called the olive, is commercially important in the Mediterranean region as a prime source of olive oil [<a href="#b1-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b1-ijms-13-03291">1</a>]. The tree is typically distributed in the the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean Basin, the adjoining coastal areas of southeastern Europe, western Asia and northern Africa as well as northern Iran at the south end of the Caspian Sea. Although olive is now cultivated in several parts of the world, the Medetarrianen region still serves as the major production area accounting for about 98% of the world’s olive cultivation [<a href="#b2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b2-ijms-13-03291">2</a>].</p> <p>According to estimates, the cultivation of olive tree dates back more than 7000 years. Archaelogical evidence indicates that olives were grown commercially in Crete as far back as 3000 BC, by the Minoan civilization [<a href="#b3-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b3-ijms-13-03291">3</a>]. Ancient Greek literature reveals uses of olive oil for body health [<a href="#b3-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b3-ijms-13-03291">3</a>]. In the context of religious importance, olive tree and its fruit (olives) are narrated over several times in the Bible, both in the New and Old Testaments [<a href="#b2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b2-ijms-13-03291">2</a>] as well as in the Quran [<a href="#b2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b2-ijms-13-03291">2</a>,<a href="#b3-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b3-ijms-13-03291">3</a>]. Olive is praised as a blessed fruit in Chapter 24 Al-Nur (Quran 24:35).</p> <p>The olive tree has a long history of medicinal and nutritional values. Over the centuries, extracts from olive leaf have been used for promoting health and preservation. For instance, ancient Egyptians used the leaves to mummify Pharaohs. Similarly, they have been valued as a famous folk remedy to treat fever and some tropical diseases such as malaria [<a href="#b4-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b4-ijms-13-03291">4</a>]. Economically, the fruit of olive is an important commodity as it yields nutritious edible oil with potential medicinal functions [<a href="#b5-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b5-ijms-13-03291">5</a>]. Olives are rarely used in their natural form due to severe bitterness; nevertheless, they are consumed in either one of the two forms, namely oil or table olives. Oleuropein is the bitterness-causing chemical component that must be eliminated from olivesto make them palatable [<a href="#b2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b2-ijms-13-03291">2</a>,<a href="#b4-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b4-ijms-13-03291">4</a>].</p> <p>Due to rising awareness about the beneficial effects of optimal nutrition and functional foods among todays’s health conscious cosmopolitan societies, the worldwide consumption of olives and olive products has increased significantly, especially in high-income countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan, Canada and Australia, resulting the rapid development of olive-based products [<a href="#b2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b2-ijms-13-03291">2</a>,<a href="#b6-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b6-ijms-13-03291">6</a>]. The traditional “Mediterranean diet”, in which olive oil is the main dietary fat, is considered to be one of the healthiest because of its strong association with the reduced incidence of cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers [<a href="#b2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b2-ijms-13-03291">2</a>,<a href="#b4-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b4-ijms-13-03291">4</a>,<a href="#b7-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b7-ijms-13-03291">7</a>,<a href="#b8-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b8-ijms-13-03291">8</a>]. The health benefits of olive oil are mainly ascribed to the presence of high content of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFAs) and functional bioactives including tocopherols, carotenoids, phospholipids and phenolics, with multiple biological activities [<a href="#b9-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b9-ijms-13-03291">9</a>,<a href="#b10-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b10-ijms-13-03291">10</a>]. Such components also contribute to the unique flavour and taste of olive oil. As with other crops, the composition of olive and olive oil components varies in relation to various factors, namely cultivar, ripeness and harvesting regime, agroclimatic conditions as well as the processing techniques employed [<a href="#b10-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b10-ijms-13-03291">10</a>].</p> <p>The main objective of the present review is to compile a comprehensive report, covering nutritional, medicinal and functional aspects of different parts of the olive, thus providing detailed information about the valuable nutrients and high-value bioactives of this multipurpose tree. The technological advancements to be applicable for the potential recovery of valuable components from olive processing wastes have also been discussed.</p></section><section id="sec2"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">2. Distribution, Cultivation and Production of Table Olives and Olive Oil</h2> <p>The task of identifying and classifying different olive varieties is quite challenging [<a href="#b1-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b1-ijms-13-03291">1</a>]. There are around 2500 known varieties of olives, of which 250 are classified as commercial cultivars by the International Olive Oil Council as described in <a href="#t1-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link">Table 1</a> [<a href="#b11-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b11-ijms-13-03291">11</a>]. These commercial cultivars are used for the production of either olive oil or table olives or both. The specific use of a given cultivar is determined by its oil content and size. Olive varieties with oil content less than 12% such as Ascolano, Calamata and Manzanillo are almost exclusively used for table olive production, while those withhigher oil yield (<em>ca</em>. 20%) such as Hojiblanca, Verdial, Picual, Gemlik, Nychati Kalamonand Arauco are usually preferred for the purpose of olive oil production [<a href="#b2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b2-ijms-13-03291">2</a>]. The larger fruits (more than 4 g) are mostly favored for table olive consumption. In the case of table olive production, besides the fruit size, several other physical properties of fruits cultivars such as shape, flesh-to-pit ratio, colour and texture are of key importance (<a href="#t2-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link">Table 2</a>) but some other factors, namely harvesting procedure, type of cultivation (irrigated or non-irrigated system), and ripening cycle areregarded less important [<a href="#b12-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b12-ijms-13-03291">12</a>].</p> <section class="tw xbox font-sm" id="t1-ijms-13-03291"><h3 class="obj_head">Table 1.</h3>

them more palatable. There are three important internationally used practices for preparation of table olives [<a href="#b13-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b13-ijms-13-03291">13</a>].</p> <ol class="list" style="list-style-type:decimal"> <li><p>Spanish-style (pickled) green olives in brine</p></li> <li><p>Californian-style (pickled) black olives in brine</p></li> <li><p>Greek-style natural black olives in brine</p></li> </ol> <p>In the Spanish and Californian-style method, the bitterness of the olive is removed by using food grade sodium hydroxide treatment that caused several changes in some compounds of the fruit; however triglycerides composition remains unaffected by this treatment. After the preliminary brine treatment, the fruits are rinsed to remove alkali and then fermented in brine for several months. In the case of Greek-style, the fruits are placed directly in the brine to remove oleuropein completely or partially. In the Spanish-style, a lactic fermentation is principally used for green olive brine, while for the Greek-style; natural black olives in brine are fermented mostly using yeasts. In the Californian-style, black olives do not necessarily require fermentation at all. They are treated directly with lye and oxidized, then washed, placed in brine, and packed in cans with heat-sterilization [<a href="#b12-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b12-ijms-13-03291">12</a>].</p> <p>Olives are known as one of the widely cultivated fruit crops worldover [<a href="#b14-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b14-ijms-13-03291">14</a>]. Presently, approximately more than 750 million olive trees are cultivated worldwide. About 98% of the total surface area, 99% of productive trees and 99% of total olive production belong to the countries around the Mediterranean basin and in the Middle-East. According to an estimate of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2009, 9.9 million hectares (ha) were planted with olive trees. Spain, with a total cultivated area of 2,500,000 ha, is the biggest producer, followed by Italy (1,159,000 ha) and Greece (765,000 ha) [<a href="#b15-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b15-ijms-13-03291">15</a>].

World olive oil production in 2008–2009 was 2.9 million tones, of which Spain, contributing over 40%, was the top producer. After Spain and Italy, Greece holds third position in world olive oil production, producing approximately 332,000 tons of olive oil annually, of which 82% is extra-virgin olive oil. About half of the annual Greek olive oil produced is exported, but only some 5% of this reflects the origin of the bottled product [<a href="#b15-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b15-ijms-13-03291">15</a>].

Olive Fruit</h3> <p>The olive fruit is an oval-shaped drupe and possesses a typical size of 2–3 cm (width and length) and pulp per stone ratios of 3.0–6.5. The olive fruit is essentially made up of 3 parts, epicarp or skin, mesocarp or pulp and endocarp or stone. The epicarp (skin) is covered with wax; during the growth phase the skin colour turns from light green to purple and brown or black. The mesocarp, with a soft, pulpy flesh, accounts for 84–90% (of the total fruit mass) while the hard endocarp (stone) containing the seed or kernel may differ from 13 to 30% of fruit weight. The seed contains 2–4 g oil /100 g. Olive fruit weight may range from 2–12 g, although some varieties may weigh as much as 20 g [<a href="#b18-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b18-ijms-13-03291">18</a>,<a href="#b19-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b19-ijms-13-03291">19</a>].</p> <p>The growth and ripening of olive fruit is a long process, which takes about 5 months in usual climatic conditions.

Organic acids show metabolic activity and are intermediate products resulting from formation and degradation of other compounds [<a href="#b20-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b20-ijms-13-03291">20</a>].</p> <p>The distribution and structure of the chemical constituents of olive fruit is complex and dependent on parameters including variety, cultivation practices, geographical origin, and the level of maturation. The olive phenols impart antimicrobial properties to different parts of the plant and are also responsible for the extent of browning in the fruit. These phenolic components also contribute towards the sensory and aromatic characteristics of the olive as well as impart pharmaceutical and physiological benefits [<a href="#b1-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b1-ijms-13-03291">1</a>,<a href="#b9-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b9-ijms-13-03291">9</a>,<a href="#b21-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b21-ijms-13-03291">21</a>].</p> <p>Both lipophilic and hydrophilic phenolics are distributed in olive fruit. The main lipophilic phenols are cresols while the major hydrophilic phenols include phenolic acids, phenolic alchohols, flavonoids and secoiridoids; they are present in almost all parts of the plant but their nature and concentration varies greatly between the tissues [<a href="#b1-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b1-ijms-13-03291">1</a>,<a href="#b9-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b9-ijms-13-03291">9</a>].

It is now widely accepted that the risk of oxidative damage can be reduced by the high intake of plant-based antioxidants. In this regard, olive polyphenols, being free radical scavengers, contribute positively towards skin health by preventing the oxidative damage linked with the formation of wrinkles and other such disorders such as skin dryness and hyperproliferation. In a clinical study, it has been shown that olive intake increases polyphenols and total antioxidant potential (TAP) in plasma, thus indicating that olive polyphenols have good bioavailability, which is in accordance with their antioxidant efficacy [<a href="#b24-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b24-ijms-13-03291">24</a>].

Olive Oil</h3> <p>Olive oil is widely used for food preparations (as salad oil, cooking oil, in frying and pasta sauces), in cosmetics and the pharmaceutical industry [<a href="#b45-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b45-ijms-13-03291">45</a>]. In the olive fruits, oil is mainly concentrated in the pericarp (96–98%). The formation and accumulation of oil in the drupe, a rich reservoir of many classes of lipids, is possibly the reason why the oil has a unique flavour and fragrance. The olive flesh components are transformed to the oil, which mainly consists of two components, namely saponifiables and unsaponifiables. The former, comprising triacylglycerols (TAG), partial glycerides, esters of fatty acids or free fatty acids and phosphatides, represent nearly 98% of the oil chemical composition, while the later, consisting of mainly minor components such as tocopherols, phytosterols, coloring pigments and phenolics, contribute around 1–2% of the oil composition [<a href="#b25-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b25-ijms-13-03291">25</a>]. The oil triglycerides are mainly represented by monounsaturates (oleic acid), alongwith small amount of saturates and considerable quantity of polyunsaturates (mainly of linoleic acid) [<a href="#b46-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b46-ijms-13-03291">46</a>].</p> <p>Several public-health based studies have revealed that the traditional “Mediterranean diet”, which includes VOO as one of the most important food ingredients, is strongly linked with the reduced prevelance of cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers [<a href="#b47-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b47-ijms-13-03291">47</a>,<a href="#b48-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b48-ijms-13-03291">48</a>]. The nutritional value and health functions of VOO are ascribed to the presence of large amount of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) such as oleic acid and valuable minor components including aliphatic and triterpenic alcohols, sterols (mainly β-sitosterol), hydrocarbons (squalene), volatile compounds, tocopherols (chiefly α-tocopherol), pigments such as chlorophylls, carotenoids (β-carotene and lutein) and antioxidants [<a href="#b49-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b49-ijms-13-03291">49</a>].</p> <p>In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the USA allowed a claim on olive oil labels concerning “the benefits on the risk of coronary heart disease of eating about two tablespoons (23 g) of olive oil daily, due to the MUFAs in olive oil” [<a href="#b50-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b50-ijms-13-03291">50</a>]. Oleic acid (C18:1), the principal fatty acid in oilive oil, is claimed to increase the plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apoprotein A1 and decrease the low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apoprotein B [<a href="#b51-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b51-ijms-13-03291">51</a>]. For this reason, this fatty acid (<em>i.e.</em>, olieic acid) can prevent cardiovascular diseases that are the major cause of mortality in industrialized countries [<a href="#b52-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b52-ijms-13-03291">52</a>]. If these beneficial effects of olive oil can be attributed only to MUFAs contents, any type of high oleic acid oils such as rapeseed oil, or any MUFAs-rich food would have shown the same health benefits; this indicates that olive oil’s effects are due to more than MUFAs contents. It has been suggested that the phenolic profile of olive oil is likely to have far greater benefits on blood lipids and oxidative damage than those shown by MUFAs [<a href="#b10-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b10-ijms-13-03291">10</a>]. Based on this evidence, olive oil can be categorized as a functional food that besides having a high level of oleic acid, contains other medicinally important minor components with multiple biological activities [<a href="#b53-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b53-ijms-13-03291">53</a>].</p> <section id="sec6"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">3.2.1.

C<sub>18</sub>:1 and C<sub>18</sub>:2 as the main components; C<sub>16</sub>:1, C<sub>18</sub>:3, and C<sub>20</sub>:0 are present in small amounts, while C<sub>22</sub>:0, C<sub>20</sub>:1, and C<sub>24</sub>:0 are at levels often less than 0.2%. The principal component is always the oleic acid, contributing about 55–75% of the total fatty acids. Some parameters such as the area of production, the latitude, the climate, the variety, and the stage of maturity of the fruit greatly affect the fatty acid composition of olive oil. For example, varieties of olive oil from Greece, Italy, and Spain are low in linoleic and palmitic acids but they have a high percentage of oleic acid, while the Tunisian olive oil is high in linoleic and palmitic acids and low in oleic acid [<a href="#b57-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b57-ijms-13-03291">57</a>].</p> <p>Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with 18 carbon (C18) atoms such as linoleic (18:2 ω-6), and α-linolenic (18:3 ω-3) are known as essential fatty acids (EFAs) in human nutrition. These fatty acids, although regarded as an indispensable component for cell structure and development and function, cannot be synthesized by the human body. The intake of PUFA is necessary through diet, and should account for only 6–8% of calories from fat [<a href="#b25-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b25-ijms-13-03291">25</a>]. At the same time, the consumption of saturated fatty acids should be moderate (approximately the same amount as polyunsaturates, with a ratio of 1:1). Saturated fatty acids increase plasma cholesterol level and acts as “promoters” of certain cancer development (e.g., colon, breast, and perhaps uterus and prostate). Nutritionists recommend a balanced lipid intake corresponding to a total amount of fats equal to 25 to 30% of total calories with a ratio in fatty acids as follows: 1-Saturates (6–8%), 2-Monounsaturates (12–14%), 3- Polyunsaturates as a ω-6 (6–7%), and 4-Polyunsaturates as a ω-3 (0.5–1.5%) [<a href="#b25-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b25-ijms-13-03291">25</a>].</p> <p>The two series “ω-6 and ω-3″ are, however, in contrast with each other in many aspects. Therefore, it seems important that they be present in a correct ratio in the diet, because an excess of linoleic acid can prevent the endogenous synthesis of the long chains of α-linolenic acid (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) with consequent damage to the body. The World Health Organization recommends a ratio of 5:1 to 10:1 for ω-6 to ω-3. The ratio between the ω-6 and the ω-3 series is very important, especially during growth, because the long-chain ω-3 series are fundamental for brain and retina development. Other important functions associated include anti-cancer, antiplatelet aggregation, anti-inflammatory, and protection against dryness of the skin. The given recommended ratio is found in olive oil, whereas the same cannot be established for other vegetable oils, with the exception of linseed and soy oils [<a href="#b25-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b25-ijms-13-03291">25</a>].</p> <p>It is widely accepted that the oils with higher levels of MUFAs and lower in saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are superior due to the proven beneficial effect of MUFAs on serum cholesterol levels. <a href="#t7-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link">Table 7</a> shows fatty acid groups of olive oil in comparison with other edible oils. The relatively high content of MUFAs and less SFAs and considerable EFAs impart olive oil a high nutritional status, while extra virgin olive oil, extracted directly from olive fruit through mechanical means, has appreciable antioxidant activity and medicinal benefits due to the presence of an array of high-value minor components such as phenolics [<a href="#b9-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b9-ijms-13-03291">9</a>,<a href="#b10-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b10-ijms-13-03291">10</a>,<a href="#b37-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b37-ijms-13-03291">37</a>,<a href="#b48-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b48-ijms-13-03291">48</a>].</p> <section class="tw xbox font-sm" id="t7-ijms-13-03291"><h5 class="obj_head">Table 7.</h5> <div class="caption p"><p>Fatty acid groups of olive oil in comparison to some other edible oils [<a href="#b25-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b25-ijms-13-03291">25</a>].</p></div> <div class="tbl-box p" tabindex="0"><table class="content" frame="hsides" rules="groups"> <thead><tr> <th align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1"></th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Saturates (%)</th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Monounsaturates (%)</th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">ω-6 (%)</th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">ω-3(%)</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Butter</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">45–55</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">35–55</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.5–2.5</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Lard</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">40–46</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">42–44</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">6–8</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.5–0.9</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Olive oil</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">8–14</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">65–83</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">6–15</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.2–1.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Peanut oil</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">17–21</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">40–70</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">13–28</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><strong>-</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Maize oil</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">12–28</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">32–35</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">40–62</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.1–0.5</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Soyabean oil</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">10–18</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">18–30</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">35–52</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">6.5–9</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Sunflower oil</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">5–13</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">21–35</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">56–66</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"><strong>-</strong></td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="p text-right font-secondary"><a href="table/t7-ijms-13-03291/" class="usa-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open in a new tab</a></div></section></section><section id="sec7"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">3.2.2. Olive Oil Phenolics</h4> <p>Plant phenolic compounds are well known secondary metabolites. These can be synthesized naturally by plants in response to stress conditions such as infection, wounding, and UV radiation [<a href="#b58-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b58-ijms-13-03291">58</a>]. There are at least 30 phenolic compounds detected in olive oil belonging to the hydrophilic group [<a href="#b48-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b48-ijms-13-03291">48</a>]. The phenolic composition of olive and olive oil is very complex and the average concentration of these compounds depends on several factors including maturation stage, part of the fruit, variety, season, packaging, storage, climatologic conditions and the degree of technology used in its production [<a href="#b59-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b59-ijms-13-03291">59</a>]. If measured colorimetrically as total phenols in the methanolic extract of oil, their content may range between 40 and 900 mg/kg [<a href="#b60-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b60-ijms-13-03291">60</a>]. Biophenol compounds have potential antioxidants power and play an important role in the chemical, organoleptic and nutritional properties of the virgin olive oil (VOO) and the table olives. The main classes of phenols in virgin olive oil are phenolic acids, phenolic alcohols, hydroxy-isocromans, flavonoids, secoiridoids and lignans. The phenolic acids were the first group of phenolic compounds found in VOO; these compounds together with phenyl-alcohols, hydroxy-isochromans and flavonoids [<a href="#b61-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b61-ijms-13-03291">61</a>], are present in small amounts in VOO [<a href="#b62-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b62-ijms-13-03291">62</a>], while secoiridoids and lignans are the most prevalent phenolic compounds of oil.</p> <p>Several phenolic acids, such as gallic acid, protocatechuic, <em>p</em>-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, syringic, <em>p</em>- and <em>o</em>-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid have also been determined and quantified in VOO (<a href="#f1-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link">Figure 1</a>) [<a href="#b37-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b37-ijms-13-03291">37</a>]. The contents of phenolic acids is often lower than 1 mg per kg of olive oil [<a href="#b63-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b63-ijms-13-03291">63</a>]. Secoiridoids are derivatives of oleuropein, demethyloleuropein and ligstroside. The most abundant secoiridoids of VOO are the dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyl elenolic acid linked to hydroxytyrosol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-ethanol) or <em>p</em>-hydroxyphenyl-ethanol (3,4-DHPEA or <em>p</em>-HPEA) (3,4-DHPEA-EDA or <em>p</em>-HPEA-EDA) and an isomer of the oleuropein aglycon 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol linked to elenolic acid (3,4-DHPEA-EA). Oleuropein and ligstroside aglycon and their dialdehydic forms were also detected as minor hydrophilic phenols of VOO [<a href="#b64-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b64-ijms-13-03291">64</a>,<a href="#b65-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b65-ijms-13-03291">65</a>]. The 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-ethanol (3,4-DHPEA) and <em>p</em>-hydroxyphenyl-ethanol (<em>p</em>-HPEA) are the main phenolic alcohols of VOO; their concentration is usually low in fresh oils but increases during oil storage [<a href="#b66-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b66-ijms-13-03291">66</a>] due to the hydrolysis of VOO secoiridoids such as 3,4-DHPEA-EDA 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-ethanol linked to dialdehydic form of elenolic acid, <em>p</em>-HPEA-EDA (<em>p</em>-hydroxyphenylethanol linked to dialdehydic form of elenolic acid) and 3,4-DHPEA-EA (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-ethanol linked to elenolic acid) into hydroxytyrosol (3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol) (3,4-DHPEA) and tyrosol (<em>p</em>-Hydroxyphenylethanol) (<em>p</em>-HPEA) [<a href="#b67-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b67-ijms-13-03291">67</a>].

Diseases attributed to ROS include, for example, aging, arteriosclerosis, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s [<a href="#b74-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b74-ijms-13-03291">74</a>].</p> <p>Mostly the therapeutic potential of VOO is attributed to its antioxidant compounds. In animal systems, olive oil phenolics showed their antioxidant activities <em>in vivo</em> [<a href="#b75-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b75-ijms-13-03291">75</a>], and delayed the progression of atherosclerosis [<a href="#b76-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b76-ijms-13-03291">76</a>]. In fact, olive oil phenolic compounds have good bioavailability in humans, even from small doses (22 g per day) [<a href="#b77-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b77-ijms-13-03291">77</a>], which is lower than those reported in the Mediterranean diet (30–50 g per day). The two main phenolic compounds in olive oil, tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, are absorbed dose-dependently from olive oil [<a href="#b75-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b75-ijms-13-03291">75</a>,<a href="#b77-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b77-ijms-13-03291">77</a>]; for this reason, they can function as useful indicator of olive oil consumption, and monitoring of the compliance in clinical studies [<a href="#b53-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b53-ijms-13-03291">53</a>]. Tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol are present in plasma and urine in their glucuronide conjugated forms (around 98%), suggesting an extensive first pass intestinal/hepatic metabolism of the ingested primary forms [<a href="#b78-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b78-ijms-13-03291">78</a>,<a href="#b79-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b79-ijms-13-03291">79</a>].</p> <p>Several investigations both in men and women pointed out that replacing SFAs by MUFAs in the diet can lead to a decline in blood pressure [<a href="#b80-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b80-ijms-13-03291">80</a>,<a href="#b81-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b81-ijms-13-03291">81</a>]. Olive oil was more effective in decreasing blood pressure in hypertensive patientsthan PUFAs-high diets [<a href="#b80-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b80-ijms-13-03291">80</a>]. The effect of two similar MUFAs-rich diets (olive oil and high-oleic sunflower oil) in hypertensive women patients have been studied by Ruız-Gutierrez <em>et al.</em> [<a href="#b82-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b82-ijms-13-03291">82</a>], who observed that the diet rich in olive oil induced a significant reduction of blood pressure, which was also confirmed by Fito <em>et al.</em> [<a href="#b83-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b83-ijms-13-03291">83</a>]. The beneficial effects of olives and its oil and phenolic compounds on blood pressure could be considered through their protective effect on the vascular endothelial function [<a href="#b53-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b53-ijms-13-03291">53</a>] and presence of calcium antagonist constituents. Furthermore, an olive oil rich diet can reduce the risk of breast cancer [<a href="#b84-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b84-ijms-13-03291">84</a>–<a href="#b86-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b86-ijms-13-03291">86</a>]. Likewise, antitumor effects of olive have been reported for different organs of the body such as the pancreas [<a href="#b87-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b87-ijms-13-03291">87</a>], oral cavity [<a href="#b88-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b88-ijms-13-03291">88</a>], oesophagus [<a href="#b89-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b89-ijms-13-03291">89</a>], colon-rectum [<a href="#b90-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b90-ijms-13-03291">90</a>], prostate, [<a href="#b91-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b91-ijms-13-03291">91</a>], and lung [<a href="#b92-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b92-ijms-13-03291">92</a>]. In animal studies, the protective effect of olive oil against the UV rays on the skin has also been shown [<a href="#b93-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b93-ijms-13-03291">93</a>].</p> <p>In addition to the antioxidant potential, the biological activities of olive oil phenolics on enzymes have been tested in a variety of cellular models (e.g., platelets, leukocytes, and macrophages) relevant to human pathology. Most olive oil phenolics are amphiphilic and possess the ability to modulate enzymes such as cyclo- and lipoxygenases, NADPH oxidase, and nitric oxide synthase, which are involved in key functions of those cells. Hydroxytyrosol was found to considerably inhibit chemically-induced <em>in vitro</em> platelet aggregation, the accumulation of the pro-aggregant agent thromboxane in human serum, the production of the pro-inflammatory molecules and leukotrienes by activated human leukocytes, and to inhibit arachidonate lipoxygenase activity [<a href="#b94-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b94-ijms-13-03291">94</a>–<a href="#b97-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b97-ijms-13-03291">97</a>].</p> <p>The protective effects of olive against the chronic and degenerative diseases are attributed to the biophenol components, particularly, hydroxytyrosol rather than to the unsaturated fatty acids content of the olive oil. These protective effects of oil can be attributed to reduction of oxidized LDL [<a href="#b98-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b98-ijms-13-03291">98</a>–<a href="#b100-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b100-ijms-13-03291">100</a>].

Moreover, a protective effect against the inflammation has been shown in the animal model [<a href="#b104-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b104-ijms-13-03291">104</a>,<a href="#b105-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b105-ijms-13-03291">105</a>]. Also, several of the beneficial aspects of the olive against cardiovascular diseases exist via its vasodilatory, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and are associated with its oleuropein component [<a href="#b4-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b4-ijms-13-03291">4</a>,<a href="#b48-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b48-ijms-13-03291">48</a>]. Oleuropein, vanillic and <em>p</em>-coumaric acids can also inhibit the growth of some bacteria, such as <em>Escherichia coli</em>, <em>Klebsiella peneumoniae</em> and <em>Bacilluscereus in vitro</em> [<a href="#b106-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b106-ijms-13-03291">106</a>], and in the presence of 6 mg/mL oleuropein, production of aflatoxin can be decreased greatly [<a href="#b107-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b107-ijms-13-03291">107</a>]. <em>In vivo</em> studies to confirm whether oleuropein possesses antimicrobial activities in the human body are still under study [<a href="#b4-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b4-ijms-13-03291">4</a>].

Volatile and Aromatic Compounds</h4> <p>Olive oil, compared to other vegetable oils, is distinguished by a characteristic aroma and flavour. These sensory characteristics, together with high nutritional value are the main features that have resulted in the increase of virgin olive oil consumption in recent years [<a href="#b11-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b11-ijms-13-03291">11</a>]. Analysis of volatile components can be used as an indicator to check the quality of olive oil [<a href="#b140-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b140-ijms-13-03291">140</a>], in terms ofdetection of adulterants [<a href="#b141-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b141-ijms-13-03291">141</a>], and magnitude ofpossible off-flavours produced [<a href="#b142-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b142-ijms-13-03291">142</a>], or to determine the variety of olive. Cultivar, geographic region, fruit maturity, processing methods and parameters influence the volatile composition of olive oil [<a href="#b143-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b143-ijms-13-03291">143</a>].</p> <p>Approximately 280 compounds have been identified in the volatile fraction of virgin olive oils [<a href="#b57-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b57-ijms-13-03291">57</a>]. The distinctive aroma of virgin olive oil is attributed to a wide array of compounds of different chemical classes, such as aldehydes, alcohols, esters, hydrocarbons, ketones, furans and, probably, others unidentified yet (<a href="#t9-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link">Table 9</a>) [<a href="#b144-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b144-ijms-13-03291">144</a>–<a href="#b146-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b146-ijms-13-03291">146</a>]. Several chemical factors such as volatility, hydrophobic character, type and the position of functional groups seem to be more related to the odour intensity of a volatile compound than its concentration. Volatile compounds found in virgin olive oil are mainly produced in plant organs by the oxidation of fatty acids through intracellular biogenic pathways [<a href="#b145-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b145-ijms-13-03291">145</a>,<a href="#b147-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b147-ijms-13-03291">147</a>]. Some of these volatile compounds are present in the intact tissue of the fruit and others are formed during disruption of cell structure during virgin olive oil production due to the enzymatic reactions in the presence of oxygen. It is generally agreed that endogenous plant enzymes, through the lipoxygenase pathway, are responsible for the positive aroma perceptions in olive oil, whereas chemical oxidation and exogenous enzymes, usually from the microbial activity, are associated with sensory defects [<a href="#b145-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b145-ijms-13-03291">145</a>,<a href="#b147-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b147-ijms-13-03291">147</a>,<a href="#b148-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b148-ijms-13-03291">148</a>].

The effective dosage for phytosterols to decrease LDL-cholesterolin blood is as high as 8% to 15% is 1.5 to 3 g per day.

Tocopherols</h4> <p>Tocopherols are considered as the most important lipid soluable natural antioxidants, which prevent lipid peroxidation by scavenging radicals in membranes and lipoprotein particles [<a href="#b166-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b166-ijms-13-03291">166</a>]. Four different types of tocopherol, namely α-, β-, γ- and δ-tocopherol have been reported in olive oil.

The significant concentration of α-tocopherol in VOO supports itsideal E/PUFAs ratio. The ratio E/PUFAs can be described as the milligrams of vitamin E per gram of polyunstaurated fatty acids. This ratio which should never be less than 0.5, is rarely found in seed oils, however in VOO it is in the range of 1.5 to 2.0 [<a href="#b25-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b25-ijms-13-03291">25</a>].

Also tocopherols in virgin olive oils act not only as lipid radical scavengers, but also prevent the photoxidation by reacting with singlet oxygen by physical quenching or by chemical reactions [<a href="#b170-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b170-ijms-13-03291">170</a>].

However, the nature of this contribution isnot yet fully understood. Some researchers have demonstrated a synergistic relationship between the antioxidant actions of some phenolics and tocopherols [<a href="#b178-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b178-ijms-13-03291">178</a>].</p></section><section id="sec12"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">3.2.6. Colouring Pigments</h4> <p>Olive oil, like other vegetable oils, contains considerable amount of pigments such as chlorophylls and carotenoids. Chlorophylls are encountered as pheophytin. Pheophytin α concentration in olive oil ranges from 3.3 to 40 ppm, while pheophytin <em>b</em> and chlorophyll <em>b</em> are present in trace amounts andchlorophyll <em>a</em> has not been detected [<a href="#b179-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b179-ijms-13-03291">179</a>]. The main carotenoids present in olive oil are β-carotene (0.3–4.4 ppm) and lutein (trace-1.4 ppm) [<a href="#b180-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b180-ijms-13-03291">180</a>]; for instance, the concentration of carotenoids in Spanish olive oils is 3.1–9.2 mg/kg [<a href="#b181-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b181-ijms-13-03291">181</a>].</p> <p>Chlorophyll, a photosensitizer, may initiate oil oxidation in olive oil when exposed to light by converting ground state triplet oxygen (<sup>3</sup>O<sub>2</sub>) to highly reactive excited state singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>*) [<a href="#b182-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b182-ijms-13-03291">182</a>]. It is interesting to note that the photoxidation reaction (light-induced oxidation) proceeds about 1000 to 1500 times faster than the common triplet oxygen oxidation [<a href="#b183-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b183-ijms-13-03291">183</a>]. β-carotene quenches singlet oxygen [<a href="#b183-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b183-ijms-13-03291">183</a>], so enhances oxidative stability against light-induced oxidation (photo oxidation). It has also been suggested that the pigment absorbs light which would otherwise excite sensitizers, therefore reducing initiation reactions [<a href="#b184-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b184-ijms-13-03291">184</a>]. The effect of β-carotene during oxidation in the dark, where reactions are not initiated by pigment sensitization, depends on the conditions under which the reactions occur. Whether β-carotene is an antioxidant or a prooxidant and how effective it is, depends on its own concentration along with oxygen [<a href="#b185-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b185-ijms-13-03291">185</a>], as well as the chemical environment where the reaction occurs [<a href="#b186-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b186-ijms-13-03291">186</a>]. Lutein has an antioxidant effect and works in combination with lycopene, as a highly active agent against skin aging and cancer risk. An adequate intake of carotenoids derived from vegetable sources including that of VOO can act as a decisive skin protector factor [<a href="#b25-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b25-ijms-13-03291">25</a>].</p></section><section id="sec13"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">3.2.7. Squalene</h4> <p>Squalene is a polyunsaturated triterpene comprising of six isoprene units and acts as a biochemical precursor of cholesterol and other steroids. It is widely produced by both plants and animals and iswidespread in nature, especially among olives, shark liver oil, wheat germ, and rice bran [<a href="#b187-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b187-ijms-13-03291">187</a>]. Thus, in addition to being synthesized within cells, it is consumed as an integral part of the human diet.

All plants and animals including humans are capable of producing squalene. In humans, squalene is synthesized in the liver and the skin, transported in the blood by very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and LDL, and secreted in large quantities by the sebaceous glands [<a href="#b190-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b190-ijms-13-03291">190</a>,<a href="#b191-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b191-ijms-13-03291">191</a>].</p> <p>Other hydrocarbons have also been found in VOO, such as 6, 10-dimethyl-1-undecene, various sesquitterpenes, the series of <em>n</em>-alkanes from C14 to C35, <em>n</em>-heptadecene and <em>n</em>-9-alkenes [<a href="#b183-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b183-ijms-13-03291">183</a>]. Squalene has been considered to be an important component in the diet of Mediterranean people due to its chemopreventative potential against cancer. Levels of squalene (a sterol precursor) in the body achieved by including olive oil in the diet (around 40 g per day, a common value for people in Mediterranean countries) may have a considerable inhibitory effect on cancer development [<a href="#b192-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b192-ijms-13-03291">192</a>].</p> <p>Special attention has been directed to squalene, present in a notable concentration in virgin olive oil nonsaponifiable fraction, which makes it similar to the composition of sebum. Squalene is found in high amounts in sebum (around 12% of its composition) and acts as a potent scavenger of singlet oxygen, inhibiting the lipoperoxidation induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiations [<a href="#b193-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b193-ijms-13-03291">193</a>], thus having anti-neoplastic influence on the colon, breast, and prostate, it seems to have immune-stimulating properties and it can inhibit the development of various tumors [<a href="#b194-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b194-ijms-13-03291">194</a>].

In the earlier days, the crushing process was carried out with a system of heavy wheels made of stones. Nowadays when the continuous extraction systems came into use the metal crusher-hammer or toothed-disc are used to grind the olives. Using the hammer increases the oil extraction yield because the intercellular structure is destroyed by using the stone mill and consequently oil droplets may be retained inside the cells, while the hammer cut the cells without destroying the intercellular structure [<a href="#b286-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b286-ijms-13-03291">286</a>]. The metal crusher may increase the yield of extraction from olives, but because of high speed it may create more emulsion than a stone crusher, therefore, the produced paste must stay longer in malaxation process. The concentration of phenols present in VOO depends on the way the olive paste is prepared [<a href="#b287-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b287-ijms-13-03291">287</a>]. Using a hammer crusher instead of a stone crusher increases the amount of total phenols components and ultimately the stronger antioxidant power in the oil, in terms of the concentration of polyphenolic compounds (<a href="#t13-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link">Table 13</a>). This can be ascribed to the higher temperature which is caused by the speed of the hammer crusher as well as solubilisation phenomena by which more phenolic compounds pass into the oil [<a href="#b286-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b286-ijms-13-03291">286</a>,<a href="#b287-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b287-ijms-13-03291">287</a>]. Also, when olives processed by these two crushing methods were analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy, the micrographs showed evidence that olives treated by hammer crushing system were better cut than those treated by stone mill because olive cell layers were broken and damaged by the later technique [<a href="#b286-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b286-ijms-13-03291">286</a>].</p> <section class="tw xbox font-sm" id="t13-ijms-13-03291"><h5 class="obj_head">Table 13.</h5> <div class="caption p"><p>Concentration of polyphenolic compounds recovered in the olive oils produced by using different crushing methods [<a href="#b286-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b286-ijms-13-03291">286</a>,<a href="#b288-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b288-ijms-13-03291">288</a>].</p></div> <div class="tbl-box p" tabindex="0"><table class="content" frame="hsides" rules="groups"> <thead><tr> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Compounds</th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Stone (ppm)</th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Hammer (ppm)</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Gallic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.60 ± 0.20</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.32 ± 0.14</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Tyrosol</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">2.99 ± 0.17</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">3.00 ± 0.54</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Vanilic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.83 ± 0.12</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.27 ± 0.12</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> <em>p</em>-Coumaric acid</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">2.25 ± 0.16</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.97 ± 0.42</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Ferulic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.95 ± 0.12</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.62 ± 0.22</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Luteolin</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">4.66 ± 0.25</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">4.20 ± 0.31</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> <em>trans</em>-Cinnamic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.12 ± 0.01</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.11 ± 0.01</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Apigenin</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.64 ± 0.17</td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="1" colspan="1">1.61 ± 0.14</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="p text-right font-secondary"><a href="table/t13-ijms-13-03291/" class="usa-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open in a new tab</a></div></section></section><section id="sec27"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">4.4.2. Malaxation</h4> <p>Malaxation process (also called beating or kneading) is essential for increasing extraction yields. It is designed to enhance the effect of crushing and to make the paste uniform. The majority of oil in olive fruit is located in the vacuoles of mesocarp cells. During the malaxation step the small droplets of the oil, by means of slow and continuous kneading of the paste produced by metallic crusher, merge into large drops that can be easily separated by the separating apparatus [<a href="#b147-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b147-ijms-13-03291">147</a>]. This process also breaks the produced emulsion and helps to increase the oil extraction yield. The bioactives composition in olive oil can be significantly improved by various factors including malaxation temperature, time [<a href="#b289-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b289-ijms-13-03291">289</a>], and the use of microorganisms [<a href="#b290-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b290-ijms-13-03291">290</a>], or enzymes [<a href="#b291-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b291-ijms-13-03291">291</a>,<a href="#b292-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b292-ijms-13-03291">292</a>].</p> <p>Addition of commercial enzyme preparations such as pectolytic, hemicellulolytic, and cellulolytic during the olive oil malaxation process resulted in degrading the cell wall of the fruit and reducing the complex of hydrophilic phenols with polysaccharides, increasing the concentration of free phenols in the olive paste and their consequent release into the oil and wastewaters through processing [<a href="#b293-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b293-ijms-13-03291">293</a>].</p> <p>Oleuropein and demethyloleuropein and ligstroside hydrolyze within the crushing and malaxing step due to endogenous glycosidases and thus change to dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyloleuropein aglycone and aldehydic form of oleuropein aglycone [<a href="#b294-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b294-ijms-13-03291">294</a>].</p></section><section id="sec28"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">4.4.3. Decantation</h4> <p>After the malaxation process, the oil must be separated from the paste and vegetation water by using a decantation process. Decanters are of three types, namely: (1) oldest three-phases decanter (50–100 L of added water per 100 kg of olive paste); (2) three-phases decanter that works using less water (10–30 L of added water per 100 kg of olive paste); (3) two-phases decanter that operates without adding any water. In this section, pressure and centrifugation as an extraction system play an important role in recovering the amounts of phenolic compounds. Actually, in three phase system in order to reduce the viscosity of pastes and to separate oil easily from the solid phase sufficient water needs to be added before centrifugation [<a href="#b73-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b73-ijms-13-03291">73</a>].</p> <p>Disadvantages of this process include higher amounts of waste water (1.25 to 1.75 times more water than press extraction), loss of valuable components (e.g., natural antioxidants, phenolics) in the water phase, and problems of disposal of the oil mill waste water. Therefore, pressure system that does not need to add water to the olive paste offers a large amount of phenolic compounds in comparison to those obtained by the centrifugation system [<a href="#b73-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b73-ijms-13-03291">73</a>]. Two phase centrifugation systems have evolved within the last 10 years to need less water for the separation of oil. As shown in <a href="#t14-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link">Table 14</a>, higher contents of phenolic compounds are obtained in the oils produced by the new two phases’ decanter as compared to the traditional three-phase decanter [<a href="#b295-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b295-ijms-13-03291">295</a>,<a href="#b296-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b296-ijms-13-03291">296</a>]. Thus, the oil produced by a two-phase system has stronger antioxidant activity (2-fold greater) and higher resistance to oxidation than that obtained by a three-phase system due to the higher amount of hydroxytyrosol as an orthodiphenol compound [<a href="#b297-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b297-ijms-13-03291">297</a>–<a href="#b299-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b299-ijms-13-03291">299</a>].</p> <section class="tw xbox font-sm" id="t14-ijms-13-03291"><h5 class="obj_head">Table 14.</h5> <div class="caption p"><p>Phenolic composition (ppm) of Coratina virgin olive oils with two phase and three phase centrifugation [<a href="#b295-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b295-ijms-13-03291">295</a>].</p></div> <div class="tbl-box p" tabindex="0"><table class="content" frame="hsides" rules="groups"> <thead><tr> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Phenolic composition</th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Two phases (ppm)</th> <th align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Three phases (ppm)</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">(3,4-DHPEA) Hydroxytyrosol</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.87 ± 0.02</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.58 ± 0.08</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">(<em>p</em>-HPEA) Tyrosol</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">3.74 ± 0.07</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">2.34 ± 0.08</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Vanillic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.41 ± 0.01</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.19 ± 0.01</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Caffeic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.16 ± 0.01</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">0.12 ± 0.02</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">(3,4-DHPEA-EDA) 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-ethanol linked to elenolic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">522.2 ± 13.5</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">427.2 ± 13.8</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">(<em>p</em>-HPEA-EDA <em>p</em>-hydroxyphenylethanol linked to dialdehydic form of elenolic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">78.16 ± 0.52</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">67.26 ± 2.55</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1"> <em>p</em>-HPEA-ester</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">38.41 ± 0.10</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">35.62 ± 1.11</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">(3,4-DHPEA-EA)3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-ethanol linked to elenolic acid</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">351.71 ± 11.0</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">244.9 ± 13.6</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Total polyphenols</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">673 ± 4</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" rowspan="1" colspan="1">585 ± 7</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <div class="p text-right font-secondary"><a href="table/t14-ijms-13-03291/" class="usa-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open in a new tab</a></div></section></section><section id="sec29"><h4 class="pmc_sec_title">4.4.4. Filtration</h4> <p>Filtration is the final step in olive oil processing and can be carried out with various materials or filter aids in combination with filtration hardware to improve filtration performance [<a href="#b300-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b300-ijms-13-03291">300</a>]. This process is also used for removing humidity and in this case cotton or paper filters can be used. Filtration also can affect the phenolic compounds. Using a cotton filter for removing humidity, hydroxytyrosol content in extra virgin olive oil was decreased [<a href="#b276-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b276-ijms-13-03291">276</a>,<a href="#b300-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b300-ijms-13-03291">300</a>]. However, filtration with cotton or paper plus anhydrous sodium sulphate led to an apparent increase in the phenolic content. Sometimes olive oil has a lot of suspended solids and in this case the diatomaceous earth is used for filtration purposes. Nowadays, organic materials such as cellulose fibrous materials and starch are used as filter aids. The solid residue waste after filtration with diatomaceous earth and organic filter aids may offer another source of phenolic compounds. Filtration by an organic filter aid is preferred over diatomaceous earth due to the high performance in the filtration process onlaboratory scale [<a href="#b300-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b300-ijms-13-03291">300</a>]. Thus, filtration especially dehydration can assist to improve the shelf-life and nutritive quality of olive oil in some cultivars such as Arbequina and Colombaia [<a href="#b301-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b301-ijms-13-03291">301</a>].</p> <p>Different classes of the hydrophilic phenolics such as phenolic acids, phenolic alcohols, secoiridoids, lignans and flavones can be retained in the filter aids. Phenolic acids including, vanillin, vanillic, ferulic and <em>p</em>-coumaric acids have been identified in different filter aids. Similarly, phenolic alcohols, tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol in addition to secoiridoids have been found in almost all filter aids. The most important secoiridoids retained in filter aids include oleuropein aglycon, 10-hydroxy-oleuropein aglycon, decarboximethylated derivates of oleuropein aglyco, oxidation products of dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyl oleuropein aglycone and ligstroside aglycon. Lignans, pinoresinol, hydroxy-pinoresinol, and acetoxypinoresinol have also been detected.

Potential for Recovery of Valuable Olive Natural Constituents</h2> <p>A more recent approach for obtaining olive mill waste (OMW) has involved the use of processing technologies to fractionate potential high-value components from olive agrowastes and residues. The recovered compounds may be broadly classified into insoluble, water-soluble and lipid solubles. One of the most important environmental problems in the Mediterranean countries, such as Spain, Italy and Greece, is the treatment and disposal of OMW. The main organic contents of OMW are sugars, nitrogenous compounds, volatile acids, polyalcohols, pectins, fats and polyphenols. During the past years, olive oil processing industries have used a continuous centrifugation system with a two-phase decanter, which separates VOO by recycling the vegetation water of the processed olives. This technology considerably decreases the volume of plant effluents and the disposal problems [<a href="#b238-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b238-ijms-13-03291">238</a>].</p> <p>However, little information has been reported on the recovery of phenolic compounds from olive cake and OMW as a potential source of bioactive compounds for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries [<a href="#b229-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b229-ijms-13-03291">229</a>]. In this regard some trials have been carried out by using physico-chemical or biological treatments to decrease the potential pollution load and obtain antioxidant compounds [<a href="#b233-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b233-ijms-13-03291">233</a>,<a href="#b302-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b302-ijms-13-03291">302</a>–<a href="#b305-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b305-ijms-13-03291">305</a>]. However, there are many limitations for the industrial-scale usage of the methods so far proposed. The major problems for the recovery of such valuable components are correlated to the complexity of the proposed processes, requiring water pre-treatment, or the huge costs for the purchase and the maintenance of the instruments.</p> <p>One of the methods applied for recovering hydrophilic phenols from fresh OVW (olive vegetation water) is three consecutive membrane-filtration steps with decreasing cut-off values (microfiltration, ultra filtration and reverse osmosis) by a previous enzymatic treatment. Its products include crude phenolic concentrate permeate without any phenolic compounds and large amount of organic fraction that could also be re-used in the VOO-extraction process. Between membrane processes, nano-filtration is considered as an effective procedure for the removal of these compounds from waste water [<a href="#b306-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b306-ijms-13-03291">306</a>].</p> <p>Another way to extract phenolic compounds is super critical fluid extraction (SFE) with carbon dioxide, which produces extracts with high antioxidant quality from spices and agricultural by-products but its phenolic yield is not appropriate. Typically, ethanolic extraction provides high yield with stronger antioxidant activity than butylated hydroxytolune (BHT), ascorbyl palmitate and vitamin E. Also, analysis by HPLC shows that hydroxytyrosol is a major phenolic compound in it [<a href="#b307-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b307-ijms-13-03291">307</a>]. Consequently, the OMW can be explored as an economical and renewable source of phenolic antioxidants. Phenolic extracts from OMW can be used as a natural alternative for commercial synthetic antioxidants or for other food and medicinal uses.</p></section><section id="sec31"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">6. Conclusions</h2> <p>Consumption of olives and/or olive oil is recognized as a key factor supporting the beneficial effects of the “Mediterranean diet”. Olive oil, having been used as a nutritious food, drug, and as cosmetics for centuries by the Mediterranean people, has been a subject of much scientific interest in the last few decades, confirming its multiferous biological, therapeutic and functional food applications. Currently, due to continuing scientific evidence supported with numerious epidemiological and clinical experimental studies, the recognition of olive oil as a source of food and medicine is much acknowledged. The most important activities in olive oil are antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer as evident from a variety of studies. Olive oil is resistant to oxidation and it has a special bitter and pungent taste. Principally, these biological activities and individual taste are due to the presence of unique bio-active compounds in the olives, namely phenolics (e.g., oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, verbascoside and derivatives), tocopherols and carotenoids, amongst others. Several factors, such as agronomical conditions, climate, and level of ripening, olive cultivar and type of production process have the main effects on the profile and activities of bio-active compounds in olives and olive oil. During olive oil processing, in addition to the olive oil itself, olive cake and oil mill waste water are produced, which are considered to be good sources of phenolic compounds with multiple epidemiological and therapeutic activities, thus highlighting the potential of such olive by- products for the isolation of high-value bioactives for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food industries.</p></section><section id="sec32"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">7. Future Prospects</h2> <p>Nowadays, the significance of functional foods is growing rapidly in food science, where inquires on the bioactivity, bioavailability and toxicology of phytochemicals and their stability and interactions with other food ingredients need to be carefully studied under <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> conditions [<a href="#b308-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b308-ijms-13-03291">308</a>]. Indeed, olive oil by-products are a good source of phytochemicals and natural antioxidants, which could be exploited for their health promoting properties. However, in this regard, significant efforts should be rendered to isolating, purifying and recovering optimum amounts of valuable compounds, in high class of purity followed by studying their detailed and standardized biological and pharmaceutical attributes. Efforts should also be focused on the isolation and structural elucidation of novel olive phenolic lipids and other bioactives using state-of-the-art chromatographic and spectroscopic tools. If the recovery and development of novel products from the olive oil by-products is well achieved, it can help to solve the environmental problems in “Mediterranean countries” and also promote application of olive oil in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.</p> <p>Industrial processes, which could minimise the loss of bioactive compounds, need to be developed. The standardization of olives and olive oil dietary intakes, based on the known chemical composition, will help to provide sound clinical basis for assessment of potential anti-atherosclerotic, anti-hypertensive, anticancer, anti-platelet aggregation and immune modulatory functionalities of olive bioactives and thus development of olive-based functional foods and nutraceuticals.</p></section><section id="floats-group1" class="floats-group"><figure class="fig xbox font-sm" id="f3-ijms-13-03291"><h2 class="obj_head">Figure 3.</h2> <p class="img-box line-height-none margin-x-neg-2 tablet:margin-x-0 text-center"><a class="tileshop" target="_blank" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/core/lw/2.0/html/tileshop_pmc/tileshop_pmc_inline.html?title=Click%20on%20image%20to%20zoom&p=PMC3&id=3317714_ijms-13-03291f3.jpg"><img class="graphic zoom-in" src="https://cdn.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/blobs/564a/3317714/7bd5ed875b21/ijms-13-03291f3.jpg" loading="lazy" height="285" width="472" alt="Figure 3"></a></p> <div class="p text-right font-secondary"><a href="figure/f3-ijms-13-03291/" class="usa-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open in a new tab</a></div> <figcaption><p>Chemical structural of some important phytosterols in olive oil [<a href="#b18-ijms-13-03291" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="b18-ijms-13-03291">18</a>].</p></figcaption></figure></section><section id="ref-list1" class="ref-list"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">References</h2> <section id="ref-list1_sec2"><ul class="ref-list font-sm" style="list-style-type:none"> <li id="b1-ijms-13-03291"> <span class="label">1.</span><cite>Boskou D.
