Phenolic compounds in olive oil: antioxidant, health and organoleptic activities according to their chemical structure.

TL;DR: Hydrophilic phenols are the most abundant natural antioxidants of virgin olive oil, in which, however, tocopherols and carotenes are also present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beneficial effects of the olive oil phenolic components oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol: focus on protection against cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

TL;DR: The present review will describe the biological effects of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, with particular attention on the molecular mechanism underlying the protective action on cardiovascular and metabolic alterations, as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experimental studies performed with the isolated compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of Olea europaea L. Fruits and Leaves

TL;DR: In this paper, a reverse phase HPLC with diode array detection and mass spectrometry (MS) was used to identify common phenolic compounds, such as verbascoside, rutin, luteolin-7-glucoside and hydroxytyrosol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydroxytyrosol: from laboratory investigations to future clinical trials

TL;DR: This review summarizes the existing knowledge concerning the chemistry, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology of hydroxytyrosol, a minor compound of virgin olive oil, as well as this compound's importance for health and main findings in terms of its beneficial effects in cardiovascular disease and cancer are emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative 454 pyrosequencing of transcripts from two olive genotypes during fruit development

TL;DR: Comparative transcript profiling allowed the identification of differentially expressed genes with potential relevance in regulating the fruit metabolism and phenolic content during ripening and provided large scale information about the structure and putative function of gene transcripts accumulated during fruit development.

The Mechanism of Antioxidant Action in Vitro

TL;DR: The spontaneous reaction of atmospheric oxygen with organic compounds leads to a number of degradative changes that reduce the lifetime of many products of interest to the chemical industry, especially polymers, as well as causing the deterioration of lipids in foods.

UV-induced skin damage.

TL;DR: Recent understanding of DNA damage caused by direct UV radiation and by indirect stress via reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA repair mechanisms and the role of ROS as both a promoter in UV-carcinogenesis and an inducer of UV-apoptosis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant actions of thymol, carvacrol, 6-gingerol, zingerone and hydroxytyrosol

TL;DR: The data suggest that thymol, carvacrol and 6-gingerol possess useful antioxidant properties and may become important in the search for 'natural' replacements for 'synthetic' antioxidant food additives.
Journal ArticleDOI

The antioxidant/anticancer potential of phenolic compounds isolated from olive oil.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the antioxidant phenolic compounds present in olive oil are potent inhibitors of free radical generation by the faecal matrix, indicating that the study of the inter-relation between reactive oxygen species and dietary antioxidants is an area of great promise for elucidating mechanisms of colorectal carcinogenesis and possible future chemopreventive strategies.
