Abstract:
Hydroxytyrosol ( 3 , 4-dihydroxyphenyle-thanol) presents in olive leaves and fruits with an ex-ceptional antioxidative activity. As a promising func-tional food ingredient, hydroxytyrosol shows many bio-logical activities, including preventing cardiovascular diseases, protecting retinal pigment epithelial cells, preventing osteoporosis, and improving the cognitive a-bility. According to the research progress in recent years,we have summarized the biological effect and the metabolism of hydroxytyrosol in this review.
