Article Synopsis
  • The European Green Deal emphasizes sustainability and the recovery of by-products, particularly in aquaculture, by integrating high-nutritional, bioactive molecules into animal feed.
  • Olive oil extraction produces by-products that, despite being potential pollutants, are rich in polyphenols known for their health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
  • The study found that dietary supplementation with olive mill wastewater polyphenols improved growth performance in gilthead seabream and positively influenced gene expression related to metabolism, immunity, and oxidative stress, suggesting potential for future research in fish nutrition.

Olive mill wastewater (OMWW), with its high level of phenolic compounds, simultaneously represents a serious environmental challenge and a great resource with potential nutraceutical activities. To increase the knowledge of OMWW's biological effects, with an aim to developing a food supplement, we performed a chemical characterisation of the extract using the Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-flight spectrometry (LC-QTOF) and an in vitro genotoxicity/antigenotoxicity assessment on HepaRG ™ cells. Chemical analysis revealed that the most abundant phenolic compound was hydroxytyrosol.

The impact of soil fertilization with animal manure on the spread and persistence of antibiotic resistance in the environment is far from being fully understood. To add knowledge about persistence and correlations between antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in fertilized soil, a longitudinal soil mesocosm study was conducted. Soil samples were collected from the mesocosms immediately before spreading and then afterward at fifteen time points during a 320-day observation period.
