Antioxidative and radical scavenging effects of olive cake extract

Fitoterapia, Volume 73, No. 6, Year 2002

The antioxidative activity of different butanol extract fractions of olive cake was investigated. Four fractions showed marked antioxidative activity in comparison with BHT. Fractions tested also showed good hydrogen donating abilities, indicating that they had effective activities as radical scavengers. Coumaric, ferulic, cinnamic acids and oleuropein were isolated. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
