Virgin olive oil and nutrition

Numerous medical studies (a study in seven countries, Monika study, Dart studies, etc. ) have shown that olive oil is one of the most important ingredient of "Mediterranean diet" associated with a reduction in cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancerous diseases. Nutritional and health value of virgin olive oil is attributed to the large proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids (main...

Mononuclear cell transcriptome response after sustained virgin olive oil consumption in humans: an exploratory nutrigenomics study.

Virgin olive oil (VOO) is considered to be one of the main components responsible for the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, particularly against atherosclerosis where peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) play a crucial role in atherosclerosis development and progression. The objective of this article was to identify the PBMNC genes that respond to VOO consumption in order to asc...

Sensory Analysis of Virgin Olive Oil

Novel mutation and polymorphisms of the HMBS gene detected by denaturing HPLC.

Direct methanolic water extracts without any further treatment or extracts submitted to an acidic treatment yielded similar amounts of tyrosol present in olive oil: 216 ␮g (in 50 mL). From this value, urinary recoveries of tyrosol were unrealistic because they were 131.5–327.8% of the dose administered. When the tyrosol content was estimated after NaOH digestion and sonication of olive oil, the...
