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.
