Resourcing potential of olive oil pomace

Microwave Assisted Extraction of Olive Oil Pomace by Acidic Hexane

In this study, Microwave-Assisted Solvent Extraction (MASE) was used to recover oil residues from pomace olive using acidic hexane. Results obtained demonstrated that oil extraction yield increased with time, the amount of acetic acid in hexane and power radiation. For both radiation powers used (170 and 510W), the optimal extraction time and most interesting content of acetic acid in hexan...

New Olive-Pomace Oil Improved by Hydrothermal Pre-Treatments

The health properties of virgin olive oil (VOO) are well known in the Mediterranean Diet, in which VOO is the main source of fat (Boskou, 2000). The Mediterranean area provides 97% of the total olive production of the world and represents a major industry in the region (Aragon & Palancar, 2001). The fatty acid composition is not the only healthy component of olive oil; in addition, minor compon...

Quality Evaluation of Olives, Olive Pomace and Olive Oil by Infrared Spectroscopy

Antithrombotic and Antiatherosclerotic Properties of Olive Oil and Olive Pomace Polar Extracts in Rabbits

Olive oil polar lipid (OOPL) extract has been reported to inhibit atherosclerosis development on rabbits. Olive pomace polar lipid (PPL) extract inhibits PAF activity in vitro and the most potent antagonist has been identified as a glycerylether-sn-2-acetyl glycolipid with common structural characteristics with the respective potent antagonist of OOPL. The aim of this study was to investigate t...
