The content of polyphenols, or biophenols, in olive oil is interesting due to their attributed benefits and impact on human health. Only with a certain amount of biophenols the manufacturer can advertise the product to have a positive effect on health. But also, the wastewater incurring in olive oil production can still contain the coveted polyphenols. These wastewaters, which are mostly discarded, might be a source for a possible recovery of these biologically interesting constituents.
