High Efficiency Using a near-UHPLC Column for Oleuropein

In this Application Note, the Analyte Peak is symmetrical and well Retained while the results were very reproducible (%RSD = 0.06 for Retention Times). This Method can be used to analyze and evaluate the extraction of Olive Leaves.

According to the literature, Olive Leave Extracts should contain the following compounds: Oleuropein, Hydroxytyrosol, Verbascoside, Apigenin, Luteolin-7-O-Glucoside, and Tyrosol [1].

Note: Olive Leaves are food byproducts (after pruning of Olive Trees) which are full of bioactive compounds. These compounds are potent polyphenols, which show antibacterial, antiviral, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. Different extraction procedures are used for selective extraction of polyphenols from olive leaves. An analytical method to monitor and evaluate the resulting extract is needed.
