ES148-BIOREVALEAF/LEAF

Nuevas rutas alternativas Bio-Green para la revalorización integral de la hoja del olivo

Description

Green extraction and biotransformation processes of olive leaves to obtain functional ingredients and high-value bioactive compounds.

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Olive leaves generated during olive oil production are largely treated as waste although they contain compounds with potential applications in food and health sectors.

Objective

To develop sustainable processes to transform olive leaves into high-value functional ingredients and bioactive compounds.
