Inactivation of myxoviruses by calcium elenolate.

Antimicrob Agents Chemother

Published: August 1975

Calcium elenolate inactivates all myxoviruses so far tested. The pH of the reaction mixture is less critical for myxovirus inactivation than that required for coxsackie A-21 virus; the myxoviruses are inactivated at a broad spectrum of pH with the maximum activity occurring at a pH below 7.0. The infectivity of the virus is more susceptible to the action of calcium elenolate than is either the neuraminidase activity or the hemagglutinin. The inactivation of Newcastle disease virus by calcium elenolate also destroys the ability of the virus to induce interferon formation in cell culture and in mice.

Olive oil is a food of great importance in the Mediterranean diet and culture. However, during its production, the olive oil industry generates a large amount of waste by-products that can be an important source of bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds and terpenes, revalorizing them in the context of the circular economy. Therefore, it is of great interest to study the distribution and abundance of these bioactive compounds in the different by-products.

Several processes have been developed in the past to selectively extract oleuropein and its aglycones from olive derived materials. In the present manuscript, we outline a novel approach for processing olive leaves aqueous extracts. This allowed first to select microwave irradiation as the methodology able to provide a large enrichment in oleuropein.

Background: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), a natural product with a multidisciplinary role, has been and is continuing to be studied from several points of view. Among them, its chemical analysis is of major importance and several methods have been used. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has inherent advantages, among them monitoring the chemical constituents without the need for a separation technique and without, for instance, possible carry-over effects.
