Given the pivotal role of Platelet-Activating-Factor (PAF) in atherosclerosis and the cardio-protective role of PAF-inhibitors derived from olive pomace, the inclusion of olive pomace in fish feed has been studied for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). The aim of the current research was to elucidate the anti-atherogenic properties of specific HPLC lipid fractions obtained from olive pomace, o...

BACKGROUND Olive pomace, as the main by-product of the olive oil industry, is recently recycled as fermentation substrate for enzyme production. OBJECTIVES Actinobacteria isolates were separated from an Algerian soil under olive pomace cultivation and were evaluated for their lignocellulolytic enzymes production. MATERIALS AND METHODS Isolates of Actinobacteria were separated from soils aro...

Postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) are recognized as atherogenic particles whose lipid composition and function can be modified by the composition of dietary oils. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that minor components of pomace olive oil (POMACE) can not only change the composition of postprandial TRL but also affect the clearance of triglyceride (TG) molecular sp...

BACKGROUND The effect of dietary pomace olive oil, which has the same concentration of oleic acid but a higher proportion of oleanolic acid (OA) than olive oil, was examined on animal models of hypertension for the first time. METHODS During 12 weeks, Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were fed with either a control 2% corn oil diet (BD), or high-fat diets containing...

This study was carried outto investigate the effect of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on polyphenols from olive pomace with methanol (80%) as an extracting medium and studythe effects of addingthe extract to refined sunflower oilduring accelerated oxidationconditions. Ahigh amount of polyphenols was extracted from the olive pomace with a solvent-to-solid ratio of 40 at 50% of the maximum ...

Background: Olive pomace, as the main by-product of the olive oil industry, is recently recycled as fermentation substrate for enzyme production.Objectives: Actinobacteria isolates were separated from an Algerian soil under olive pomace cultivation and were evaluated for their lignocellulolytic enzymes production.Materials and Methods: Isolates of Actinobacteria were separated from ...

Olive fruits contain an n-alkane series of saturated hydrocarbons mainly in the pulp. Lower amounts of a complex mixture of paraffins, unresolved by gas chromatography (UCM--unresolved complex mixture), have been found in cuticle, stone (woody shell and seed), olive leaves, and talc used as an aid to olive oil extraction. The amounts of both kinds of hydrocarbons are related to the olive cultiv...

The antifungal activity of phenolic compounds extracted from olive pomace against Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium culmorum was investigated. Olive pomace, a by-product of olive oil production, was used as a source of phenolic compounds. The extracted phenolics were added to a medium to reach phenol concentration of 0.1 and 0.2 % (w/v) and tested for their antifungal activity ag...

Olive mills generate a large amount of waste that can be revaluated. This work aim to improve the production lignocellulolytic enzymes by solid-state fermentation using ultrasounds pretreated olive mill wastes. The composition of olive mill wastes (crude and exhausted olive pomace) was compared and several physicochemical characteristics were significantly different. The use of both wastes in S...

this study investigated effects of different levels of dietary olive oil pomace on body composition, growth performance, hematological factors and sensory analysis of rainbow trout. six practical diet containing 0 (control), 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% olive pomace were formulated and supplied to fish with an average body weight of 184.7 g being allocated randomly to rectangular concrete ponds. water fl...
