What it is

Olive extract is made from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. It is typically produced by pressing olives to extract their oil and other beneficial compounds. The extract can be a liquid or a powder and is often used for its antioxidant properties.

Why it's used

Olive extract is used as a natural preservative and antioxidant in foods. It helps to extend shelf life and maintain product quality by preventing spoilage. It is found in a variety of products, including cheese, frozen meals, and appetizers.

Health notes

Olive extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyphenols, which are antioxidants that may have health benefits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated olive extracts and their components, recognizing their antioxidant activity. Research suggests these compounds may contribute to cardiovascular health, though more studies are needed to confirm specific effects at typical dietary intake levels.
