“…Olive leaf contains a wide variety of phenolic compounds (Yuan, ), for example, oleuropein (OL), hydroxytyrosol (HT), tyrosol, cumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, etc. In particular, small molecule HT presents strong bioactivity, such as antioxidant (Owen, Giacosa, Hull, Haubner, Spiegelhalder, & Bartsch, ; Visioli et al, ), antimicrobial (Bisignano et al, ; Medinamartínez, Truchado, Castroibáñez, & Allende, ), anti‐inflammatory (Killeen, Pontoniere, & Crea, ), antitumor to inhibit proliferation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL60 cells (Fabiani et al, ), human colon cancer HT‐29 cells (Bernini et al, ), and MCF‐7 human breast cancer cells (Bouallagui, Han, Isoda, & Sayadi, ). Many works were reported on HT preparation from natural plant separation and chemical synthesis, but HT yield was very low, and it also need a large amount of toxic agents, expensive catalysts, and long time.…”
