Hydroxytyrosol is a phytochemical compound from the phenolic acid family with very strong antioxidant properties, as evidenced by the ORAC value ( Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity ) 40,000 µmolTE / g. Hydroxytyrosol (HT) belongs to the large family of natural polyphenols , which consists of more than 10,000 molecular species and includes anthocyanins , flavonoids , secoiridoids (such as oleuropein and ligustroside), phenolic acids (hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol), stilbenes , the ellagitannins of pomegranate, etc. .

Occurrence

Ripe olives

Hydroxytyrosol occurs in the pulp of olives and is therefore also contained in the liquid that is created during the pressing of the olives (OMW Olive Mill Wastewaters, waste water from olive oil production, also called vegetation water ), as well as in virgin olive oil , albeit in a much lower concentration Polyphenols are generally more water-soluble than oil-soluble. While hydroxytyrosol can have a concentration of approx. 4–6 g / l in vegetation water, it reaches a maximum concentration of 0.7–0.8 g / l in olive oil.

effect

The polyphenolic phytocomplex in the olive and especially in the waste water from olive oil production, which is disposed of as an agricultural waste product in the soil, contains many dozen other bioactive molecules together with hydroxytyrosol, among others. a. Cyanidines, quercetin , gallic acid, tyrosol, oleuropein, verbascoside , ligustroside, oleocanthal, etc. This combination of polyphenols is characterized by a stronger biomedical effect than isolated hydroxytyrosol, since a synergetic interaction arises between the various polyphenols, as is the case with virgin olive oil and the vegetation water have shown. Thanks to a study that led to an international patent, it became possible to extract, clarify and concentrate the polyphenolic phytocomplex of the waste water from olive oil production and make the polyphenols available for industrial production.

Polyphenols come from the secondary metabolism of plants and mainly have a protective function against parasites and pathogens. As herbal defense agents, polyphenols are also able to counteract the development and reproduction of countless types of bacteria such as staphylococci , Escherichia coli and Klebsiella in the human organism. Hydroxytyrosol and the other natural polyphenols have innumerable biological activities and health-promoting effects in the prevention and treatment of age-related pathologies and counteracts the occurrence of tumors and cardiovascular diseases. The 2016 study by Piroddi, Albini et al. to vegetation water extracted from the Moraiolo olive variety in Tuscany ( Arezzo ) has shown an antiatherogenic effect of the polyphenolic phytocomplex. In the study by T. Rossi, D. Stefano, D. Pizzichini, A. Albini et al. positive effects of the polyphenols from olive pulp with regard to the growth, migration and invasion of in vitro cultivated tumor cells (rectal tumor cells) were recorded.

Hydroxytyrosol is one of the most intensely studied polyphenolic molecules thanks to the multitude of processes in which it exerts an antioxidant effect. It is in fact a powerful inhibitor of oxidative damage resulting from lipid peroxidation of cells, which is believed to be the main cause of free radical damage. Hydroxytyrosol has also been linked to reducing damage caused by oxidative stress, including epithelial cells, liver cells, and blood cells.

By inhibiting platelet aggregation, hydroxytyrosol improves blood flow and therefore has an antithrombotic and heart-protective effect. Hydroxytyrosol is also active in the brain, where it protects the neurons from oxidation, increases the potential of the mitochondrial membrane and thus makes the brain cells more reactive.

The oxidation process is the cause of some diseases of the cardiovascular system and metabolism. In particular, the oxidation of LDL cholesterol is the basis for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which impair the fluid dynamics of the blood vessels and lead to serious risks and diseases of the cardiovascular system. The effectiveness of the polyphenols contained in the pulp of olives and in olive oil against the oxidation process of LDL and in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases has been proven. Some of these studies (Eurolive) have led the EFSA ( European Food Safety Authority ) to stipulate that a daily intake of 5 mg hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives from virgin olive oil ensures an effective reduction in cardiovascular risk factors.
