Abstract This monograph is a critical review of the biological activities that occur during virgin olive oil (VOO) extraction process. Strategic choices plant engineering systems and processing technologies should be made to condition enzymatic activities, in order modulate nutritional sensory quality product toward consumer expectations. “Modulation” properties has main aim predetermine quantity 2 classes substances: polyphenols volatile compounds responsible VOO characteristics. In 1st...
The health claims of olive oil represent an important marketing lever in raising the willingness to pay for a product, but world producers extra virgin (EVOO) do not take advantage it because there are still obstacles their use. Among these, one issue is lack official method determination all free and linked forms derived from secoiridoidic structures hydroxytyrosol tyrosol. In this study, different acidic hydrolytic procedures analyzing were tested. best was validated then applied more than...
Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is one of the most popular and appreciated temperate fruit not only for its sensory nutritional properties, but also content in bioactive compounds. Consumption sweet cherries brings beneficial effects on to health, which include prevention modulatory several chronic diseases such as (diabetes mellitus, cancer, cardiovascular other inflammatory diseases). The presence natural polyphenolic compounds with high antioxidant potential might drive partly explain...
Mentha piperita L. essential oil (EO) is employed for external use as antipruritic, astringent, rubefacient and antiseptic. Several studies demonstrated its significant antiviral, antifungal antibacterial properties. The aim of this work the study synergistic effects M. EO with antibacterials antifungals that are widely available currently prescribed in therapies against infections. observed strong synergy may constitute a potential new approach to counter increasing phenomenon multidrug...
Malaxation is a basic step in the mechanical olive oil extraction process that may affect yield, quality, and health properties of virgin (VOO). The operative conditions malaxation, such as temperature time, are fundamental to favor coalescence and, consequently, duration VOO process. aim this study was improve efficiency by using an ultrasound treatment paste before malaxation step. ultrasonic applied Coratina Peranzana, which two most popular Southern Italian varieties characterized...
In recent years, the increase of bacteria antibiotic- resistance has been a severe problem for public health. A useful solution could be to join some phytochemicals naturally present in essential oils (EOs) existing antibiotics, with aim their efficacy therapies. According vitro studies, EOs and components show such effects. Among them, we studied activity Cinnammonum zeylanicum, Mentha piperita, Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris on bacterial biofilm synergism when used association common...
Carob pulp has recently received great attention due to its considerable content of polyphenols having a wide range health promoting effects. In this work, ultrasound assisted extraction was optimized sequentially using screening Plackett-Burman design and non-standard central composite coupled response surface methodology desirability function statistical tools, find the best conditions for nine from carob pods. The gathered mathematical models showed that highest significant factors...
The antioxidant capacity of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) pulp extracts is strictly related to the phenolic content, starting from fact that higher content compounds corresponds indexes. This work aims assess which characterized three cultivars, namely Ferrovia, Sweetheart, and Lapins grown in Southern Italy mainly influenced their extracts. HPLC–MS/MS analyses were conducted identify quantify 17 flavonoids 25 hydroxicinnamates derivatives. A significant influence cultivar was revealed...
