Bioconversion of oleuropein to hydroxytyrosol by lactic acid bacteria

The aim of this work is to study the conversion of oleuropein—a polyphenol present in olives and olive oil by-products—into hydroxytyrosol, a polyphenol with antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The hydrolysis reaction is performed by lactic acid bacteria. Six bacterial strains (Lactobacillus p...
