Abstract
Olive oil is the keystone of the Mediterranean diet, and is its most characteristic food. More than 80% of the visible fat of this diet is consumed in the form of olive oil, which is almost the only source of fat, employed both in cooking (stir-frying, deep frying) and as a dressing. In spite of the great importance of olive oil in the Mediterranean diet, many of the properties of some of its components remain unclear. It has already been shown that olive oil has a wide range of healthy properties, including the reduction of LDL cholesterol in comparison with diets high in saturated fatty acids (SAFA), control of blood pressure, the lowering of inflammation markers, as well as beneficial effects on certain types of cancer and cardiovascular disease and age-related cognitive decline [1-4].

Bioactive compounds, functional foods, metabolism, and health
Nutrition, metabolism, and their intervention strategies have become focal points of interest in the study of metabolic syndrome and health. Bioactive compounds, phytochemicals, and functional foods play crucial roles in modulating metabolic processes and improving human health. Moreover, the composition of the gut microbiome is also believed to be closely ...read more
Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
Natural Bioactive Compounds Derivatives in Nutraceutical and Food Science
