General description

Olive oil is rich in the phenolic component, squalene glucoside. The extra-virgin olive oil (VOQ) is antioxidant rich and a potential reactive oxygen scavenger.[1] Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated long-chain fatty acids and is not prone to oxidation. Olive oil impairs xanthine oxidase activity and could have potential in modulating tumor progression.[2] The biophenols in olive oil may elicit protection in metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegeneration.[3]

Application

Olive oil has been used as an oral supplement for metabolic phenotyping in mice [4]. It has been used for dissolution of vitamin E[5], whey protein[6]and drugs.[7]

Biochem/physiol Actions

The health benefits of olive oil result from its higher proportion of monounsaturated fats, as well as its antioxidant constituents: hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein and oleocanthal.

Questions

1–10 of 13 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
