Abstract
In this paper, oleuropein and some other related phenolic compounds are rev iewed. Their occurrence, distribution, biosynthesis and transformation duri ng maturation and during industrial processing (preparation of table olives and oil production) are described. Their role in human health is proposed based on current human, animal and in vitro studies as molecules with antio xidant and antimicrobial properties. (C) 2000 Society of Chemical Industry.
