Comparative investigation of minerals, chlorophylls contents, fatty acid composition and thermal profiles of olive leaves (<em>Olea europeae</em> L.) as by-product

Abstract: SUMMARY:This work presents a chemical (the minerals, chlorophyll contents and fatty acids) and thermophysical investigation (DSC profile) of four varieties of olive leaves grown in Tunisia. The total chlorophy1l contents of olive leaves ranged from 1132.33 to 1795.93 ppm. The results showed that linolenic acid (C 18:3 ) is the major fatty acid in olive leaves (from 30.02 to 42.16%), followed by oleic acid (C 18:1 ) and palmitic acid (C 16:0 ). The thermal profiles of olive leaf extracts determined by their DSC… Show more

“…Fat extraction was carried out using the method described by Bahloul et al (2014), with some minor modi cations. Exactly-weighed 3.5 g of nely powdered dried olive leaves samples were introduced into a test tube and extracted twice with hexane (1:5 w vol -1 ) under agitation on a 3D-shaker for 4 h at room temperature.…”

“…Chlorophyll a is the chief pigment in photosynthesising system, while chlorophyll b is the secondary (accessory) component that facilitates greater light absorption and energy conversion [88]. The presence and proportion of chlorophyll notably determines the colour attributes of olive leaves [89]. The concentration of chlorophyll in Tunisian olive leaves (Oueslati cultivars) has been reported to be around 829.29 µg/g dry basis [76].…”

“…The concentration of chlorophyll in Tunisian olive leaves (Oueslati cultivars) has been reported to be around 829.29 µg/g dry basis [76]. The proportion of the total chlorophyll in leaves may vary largely in various cultivars [89]. Moreover, the retention of chlorophyll and carotenoids potentially increases with the increase in the leaves' lifetime [90].…”

“…The concentration of chlorophyll a, b, and the total chlorophylls, were determined by the spectrophotometric method according to AOAC (1984) and Bahloula (2014) [17]. Briefly, the lyophilized TT leaves powder (0.1 g) was added to 85% acetone solution (20 mL) and the mixture was homogenized for 3 min.…”
