Quantification of bioactive compounds in Picual and Arbequina olive leaves and fruit

Abstract

Olive leaves can contain up to 70 g kg^-1 phenolic compounds and 20 g kg^-1 triterpenic acids, and olive fruit can contain up to 35 g kg^-1 of the former and 3 g kg^-1 of the latter. It must also be noted that this level was constant both between seasons and orchard locations. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
