Table Olive Wastewater as a Potential Source of Biophenols for Valorization: A Mini Review

The table olive industry generates high amounts of wastewater annually during the alkaline treatment, fermentation, and washing steps olives. High conductivity salt content, as well organic biophenol contents these waters, is a worldwide problem, especially in Mediterranean region, which major producing area. There wide variety bioactives found derived from processing. main compounds wastewater, such those phenolic, hydrocarbon, sugar fractions, can be recovered reused. In this review, manufacturing processes volumes composition generated different methods processing are discussed. addition, biophenols water their biological activities also introduced. concentrations valuable biophenols, tyrosol hydroxytyrosol, show promising potential for valorizing wastewater; however, more research needed
