Abstract
A method for extracting S (-)-Oleocanthal from olive oil comprising mixing a first volume of water with a second volume of olive oil to form an olive oil/water mixture; letting the olive oil/water mixture stand; removing an aqueous fraction from the olive oil/water mixture leaving a reduced S (-)-Oleocanthal containing olive oil; and filtering the aqueous fraction to create aqueous S (-)-Oleocanthal.
Claims18
A method for extracting S (-)-oleocanthal from olive oil comprising:
- (a) mixing a first volume of water with a second volume of olive oil to form an olive oil/water mixture;
- (b) letting the olive oil/water mixture stand for a period of time sufficient for phase separation;
- (c) removing an aqueous fraction from the olive oil/water mixture of step (b), thereby leaving an olive oil fraction containing a reduced amount of S (-)-oleocanthal;
- and
- (d) filtering the aqueous fraction to obtain a purified aqueous solution of S (-)-oleocanthal.
