Rapid and sustainable recovery of phenolic compounds from olive mill wastewater with gold nanoparticles
Phenolic compounds represent one of the most important and ubiquitous groups of plant
metabolite. They have possible beneficial implicaons in human health, such as their an-
microbial, an-carcinogenic effects and their anoxidant acvity. Phenolic compounds could be
considered like “quality molecular markers” in food. During the producon process of Olive Oil
is generate an important by-product: the olive mill waste water (OMWW). OMWW consist of
the water contained in the drupe, the washing water and the process water. In OMWW is
