Olive Tree (Olea europeae L.) Leaves: Importance and Advances in the Analysis of Phenolic Compounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phenolic compounds are becoming increasingly popular because of their potential role in contributing to human health. Experimental evidence obtained from human and animal studies demonstrate that phenolic compounds from Olea europaea leaves have biological activities which may be important in the reduction in risk and severity of certain chronic diseases. Therefore, an accurate profiling of phenolics is a crucial issue. In this article, we present a review work on current treatment and analytical methods used to extract, identify, and/or quantify phenolic compounds in olive leaves.

متن کاملResistance of Olive Tree to Spilocaea oleagina is Mediated by the Synthesis of Phenolic Compounds
To understand the resistance of the olive tree to the leaf-spot disease caused by Spilocaea oleagina, the constitutive and postinfectional synthesis phenolic compounds of the leaves were analyzed by HPLC in 110 genotypes F1 (susceptible cultivar “Picholine marocaine” x resistant cultivar “Picholine du Languedoc”) presenting of the differential behaviours to this disease (highly resistant, resis...
متن کاملVariability of Virgin Olive Oil Phenolic Compounds in a Segregating Progeny from a Single Cross in Olea europaea L. and Sensory and Nutritional Quality Implications
Virgin olive oil phenolic compounds are responsible for its nutritional and sensory quality. The synthesis of phenolic compounds occurs when enzymes and substrates meet as olive fruit is crushed during the industrial process to obtain the oil. The genetic variability of the major phenolic compounds of virgin olive oil was studied in a progeny of the cross of Picual x Arbequina olive cultivars (...
متن کاملQuantitative Seasonal Changes in the Leaf Phenolic Content Related to the Alternate-Bearing Patterns of Olive (Olea europaea L. cv. Gemlik)
Using HPLC, the seasonal changes in the phenolic compound content of the leaves of the Gemlik olive cultivar (Olea europaea L) has been investigated with respect to the effects on the alternate bearing of the cultivar. For this purpose, the leaf concentrations of oleuropein, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3-hydroxycinnamic acid, scopolin and pcoumaric acid were analyzed at 10 day intervals aro...
