General description
Olive oil is extracted from the fruit of the olive tree. Oleic acid, phenolic compounds, and squalene are the key constituents of olive oil.[1]
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
Olive oil has a wide range of therapeutic and culinary applications.[1] It is used as a source of fat in Mediterranean food. The anti-atherogenic effects of olive oil can contribute to the low rate of cardiovascular mortality.[5] Long-term consumption of olive oil is proven to be good for human health and it aids in preventing breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.[6]
The health benefits of olive oil result from its higher proportion of monounsaturated fats, as well as its antioxidant constituents: hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein and oleocanthal.
