Abstract (english)

Olive oil has always been important ingredient in daily diet of Mediterranean
population, and because of its beneficial effects on health and longevity through the
centuries, today it has become a synonym for healthy nutrition worldwide. The main
reason for the increase in consumption of olive oil is its nutritional, preventive and
therapeutic value. The beneficial effects of olive oil are attributed to the high content
of monounsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid), but the experimental studies
(in vivo and in vitro) suggest a high biological potential of olive oil phenolic compounds.
Because of its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, antimicrobial
and neuroprotective effects, the ability to positively regulate cell processes, these compounds
has a beneficial effect on physiological processes related to health and disease.
