Application in olive oil
Zeyton developed a specific product for incorporation in olive oil, allowing the latter to maintain its organoleptic features.
Olive oil may use the claim “Consumption of olive oil polyphenols contributes to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative damage“, provided that it “contains at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. oleuropein complex and tyrosol) per 20 g of olive oil. In order to bear the claim, information shall be given to the consumer that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil.”
