Aristoleo Research Library: The Science Behind High Phenolic EVOO
Explore independent and EU-backed ARISTOIL Interreg MED research (above) proving how High Phenolic Extra Virgin Olive Oil i(HP EVOO) is measured, preserved, and shown to support wellbeing. Use this page to reference the original studies cited throughout the Aristoleo+ FAQ and product information.
Science & Function
Magiatis et al., 2013 – Quantification of Oleocanthal & Oleacein
Developed the NMR method that accurately measures oleocanthal and oleacein — the key phenolic compounds linked to olive oil’s health benefits. Read study →
EFSA Health Claim (2011) – Olive Oil Phenols Protect Blood Lipids
The European Food Safety Authority confirmed that olive-oil polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress, forming the basis of EU Health Claim 432/2012. Read summary →
Aristoleo Certification Research (2016–2022) – Storage Temperature Effects
Continuous Aristoleo testing showed that storing olive oil between 12–15 °C preserves phenolic content far longer than room-temperature storage. Learn more →
Violet Glass Light Protection – Photobiotic Preservation Principle
Violet biophotonic glass filters visible light while allowing beneficial UV-A and infra-red wavelengths, protecting phenolic compounds from degradation. Miron Violetglass → | Supporting study →
Kotsiou et al., 2021 – Harvest Timing and Phenolic Content
Showed that harvesting olives early while still green yields oil with significantly higher concentrations of phenolic compounds. Read study →
Health & Wellbeing
Beauchamp et al., 2005 – Oleocanthal: Natural Anti-Inflammatory
Identified oleocanthal, the compound responsible for olive oil’s ibuprofen-like effect by inhibiting COX enzymes. Read study →
Omar et al., 2017 – Oleocanthal and Neuroprotection
Demonstrated that olive-oil phenols protect neurons and may slow Alzheimer-related processes. Read study →
EUROLIVE Project, 2006 – Olive Oil Polyphenols & Heart Health
Confirmed that daily intake of phenolic-rich olive oil reduces LDL oxidation and improves HDL function. Read summary →
Martín-Peláez et al., 2022 – EVOO & Gut Microbiome
Showed that high-phenolic EVOO positively modulates gut-microbiota composition and reduces inflammation markers. Read study →
Cicerale et al., 2010 – Olive Phenols & Immune Modulation
Reviewed evidence that olive-oil antioxidants regulate immune response and protect cellular health. Read abstract →
Pérez-Jiménez et al., 2008 – Antioxidants & Skin Health
Discussed how dietary antioxidants, including olive-oil phenols, maintain skin integrity and elasticity. Read summary →
Lifestyle & Usage
