RESUMEN
Investigation of edible oil stability involves interactions between additive polyphenols and the inherent tocopherols. The work aimed to identify endogenous polyphenols to produce the synergistic effect with α-tocopherol in olive oil and to find the right action ratio. Caffeic acid and quercetin were selected from the 15 main endogenous phenolic compounds in olive oil. Quercetin had the strongest synergistic effect with α-tocopherol at 2:1 in the olive oil model. The rate of 2:1 also was the turning point of the change of synergism. Furthermore, the addition of quercetin and α-tocopherol at 2:1 to olive oil resulted in lower POV, K232, K270, and secondary oxidation products such as (E, E)-2,4-decadienal and 2-pentylfuran than the olive oil model with a single antioxidant in three months of accelerated oxidation. The dynamic changes of antioxidants during oxidation in olive oil indicated that their synergistic effect was the repair and regeneration of α-tocopherol by quercetin.

The polyprenols and their derivatives are highlighted in this study. These lipid linear polymers of isoprenoid residues are widespread in nature from bacteria to human cells. This review primarily presents the synthesis and biological activities of polyprenyl derivatives. Attention is focused on the synthesis and biological activity of dolichols, polyprenyl ester derivatives and polyprenyl amines. Other polyprenyl derivatives, such as oxides of polyprenols, aromatic polyprenols, polyprenyl bromide and polyprenyl sulphates, are mentioned. It is noted that polyprenyl phosphates and polyprenyl-linked glycosylation have better antibacterial, gene therapy and immunomodulating performance, whereas polyprenyl amines have better for antibacterial and antithrombotic activity. Dolichols, polyprenyl acetic esters, polyprenyl phosphates and polyprenyl-linked glycosylation have pharmacological anti-tumour effects. Finally, the postulated prospect of polyprenols and their derivatives are discussed. Further in vivo studies on the above derivatives are needed. The compatibility of polyprenols and their derivatives with other drugs should be studied, and new preparations of polyprenyl derivatives, such as hydrogel glue and release-controlled drugs, are suggested for future research and development.

OBJECTIVE: To look for optimum extraction techniques for oleuropein by boiling olive leaves at low temperature and reduced pressure. METHOD: According to single factor experiment (SFE) design, the effects of seven factors, the impact of seven factors, type of solvent, temperature, time, ratio of material to liquid, ethanol concentration, vacuum degree and extraction times, on extraction yield of oleuropein were investigated. Based on the results of SFE, four more important factors, temperature, time, ratio of material to liquid and ethanol concentration, were selected in L9 (3(4)) orthogonal experiment (OE) to compare with those extracted with traditional methods. RESULT: The optimum conditions for boiling extraction of oleuropein at low temperature and reduced pressure were as follows: temperature 60 degrees C, time 20 min, ratio of material to liquid 1:30 and ethanol concentration 85%. The conditions presented an extraction yield of 5.90%. CONCLUSION: Compared with traditional extraction methods and the ultrasound assisted extraction method, boiling extraction techniques at low temperature and reduced pressure were so quick and efficient that it has a good application prospect.
