Sumario: | This work aimed to investigate the effect of freezing on the oleuropein content obtained from olive leaves extracts. The extracts were obtained by microwave-assisted extraction using different solvents, pH, temperatures and microwave irradiation time. Afterward, HPLC was used to identify and quantify the amount of oleuropein in the extracts. A part of the extracts was immediately analyzed, and another was frozen for a week. The experimental results highlighted that the storage condition has a significant (p < 0.05) effect on the oleuropein content. Regardless of the extraction condition, the frozen storage was responsible for a decrease in the oleuropein content, ranging from 5.38 to 70.09%. These results indicate that it is important to consider the degradation of oleuropein in frozen olive leaf extracts so that subsequent applications are suitable. |
