Abstract
Olive leaves are the most abundant agricultural waste source rich in polyphenolics. Due to the numerous health benefits associated with these compounds, the interest in recovering polyphenols from olive leaves has increased in the scientific community over the last decade. Recent studies have focused on improved extraction techniques and processing methods that are most suited for agro-biological industries involved in the development of nutraceutical and functional products. The major problems in olive leaves processing include bitter taste and the low stability of various phenolic compounds. Oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are the most important phenolic compounds extracted from olive leaves. The present review highlights the importance of olive leaves, their composition, preparation methods, major phenolic compounds, and commercial applications. This review article focuses on integrating studies on olive leaf extract (OLE) pertinent to nutrition, health, and beauty. The different board categories of delivery systems available for the encapsulation of OLE are given. These novel delivery systems could improve fortification, supplementation, and dietary diversification in food and pharmaceutical products.
