Phenolic Extracts from Wild Olive Leaves and Their Potential as Edible Oils Antioxidants.

The kinetics solid-liquid extraction of phenolics from wild olive leaves was elaborated using different mathematical models (Peleg, second order, Elovich, and power law model). As solvents, methanol, ethanol, ethanol:water 1:1, -propanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate were used. The second order model best described the solvent extraction process, followed by the Elovich model.
