Revalorization of wet olive pomace through polyphenol extraction and steam gasification (PHENOLIVE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016,
The residue generated by the olive oil process is known as wet olive pomace (WOP), which have high water content (up to 65%), and may contain between 2-8 g. polyphenols/Kg pomace, so more than 80% of the total polyphenol content in olives is lost in the waste material.
