Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is one of the main polyphenols contained in the waste from olive mill; it is among the most powerful antioxidants currently known and has a high commercial value. In the present work, an unusual and unexploited waste was chosen for HT production: the sediment deposited on the bottom of unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOOs). Our preliminary data show that this cheap waste can be considered as a novel source for the extraction of phenolic compounds. The sediment containing the highest amount of HT and OP (HT precursor) will be selected for the subsequent production of HT.

Abstract
Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is one of the main polyphenols contained in the waste from olive mill; it is among the most powerful antioxidants currently known and has a high commercial value. In the present work, an unusual and unexploited waste was chosen for HT production: the sediment deposited on the bottom of unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOOs). Our preliminary data show that this cheap waste can be considered as a novel source for the extraction of phenolic compounds. The sediment containing the highest amount of HT and OP (HT precursor) will be selected for the subsequent production of HT.File in questo prodotto:
