Article Synopsis
- Antioxidants from plants like phenolics have gained interest for their potential applications in biorefineries, which aim to make useful products from biomass waste.
- Oleuropein, a phenolic found in olive leaves, breaks down into hydroxytyrosol, which is beneficial.
- A study showed that using ultrafiltration followed by nanofiltration effectively increased the purity of hydroxytyrosol in olive leaf extracts, from 25% to 68%.
The aim of the present study was to explore the high-yield production of hydroxytyrosol, a phenolic compound with very high antioxidant capacity. leaves were chosen as feedstock as they contain significant amounts of oleuropein, which can be hydrolyzed to hydroxytyrosol. The chosen techniques are widely used in the industry and can be easily scaled up.
