Abstract
Olive biophenols (BP) comprise a major group of secondary metabolites that display a wealth of structural variety and a great diversity of important biological activities. Recently, an explosion of interest in the olive biophenol pathway has been observed which has been closely matched by related investigations into olivegrowing practices, for the production of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and table olives (TO). Major advances have been stimulated by multidisciplinary research on olive biophenol composition, histological distribution, and histochemical enzymatic localization of BPs to determine their biomolecular function, activated by native β-glucosidase on secoiridoid (seco) conjugates, such as oleuropein, which releases phytoalexins against pathogens.
