Abstract
- SUMMARY Isolation and purification is reported of a polyphenol that contributes to the color formation in the processed dark olive, known in commerce as the California ripe olive. This compound (probably oleuropein as described by Cruess) was purified by counter-current distribution. Acid hydrolysis yielded glucose and a second unreported sugar, arabinose. Additional evidence indicates that the compound is not a double ester of glucose, as previously reported.
