Abstract EN
Phenolic composition and biological activities of fruit extracts from Italian and Algerian Olea europaea L.
cultivars were studied.
Total phenolic and tannin contents were quantified in the extracts.
Moreover 14 different phenolic compounds were identified, and their profiles showed remarkable quantitative differences among analysed extracts.
Moreover antioxidant and enzymatic inhibition activities were studied.
Three complementary assays were used to measure their antioxidant activities and consequently Relative Antioxidant Capacity Index (RACI) was used to compare and easily describe obtained results.
Results showed that Chemlal, between Algerian cultivars, and Coratina, among Italian ones, had the highest RACI values.
On the other hand all extracts and the most abundant phenolics were tested for their efficiency to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes.
Leccino, among all analysed cultivars, and luteolin, among identified phenolic compounds, were found to be the best inhibitors of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes.
Results demonstrated that Olea europaea fruit extracts can represent an important natural source with high antioxidant potential and significant α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects.
