Oleuropein

Should oleuropein be mentioned as a related compound? Or is it the same compound under a different name? Badagnani 17:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Oleuropein is a completely different compound: a polyalcohol with an acid group(4S,5E,6S)-4-[2-[2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethoxy]-2-oxoethyl]- 5-ethylidene-6-[[(2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)- 2-tetrahydropyranyl]oxy]-4H-pyran-3-carboxylic acid, methyl ester. For a chemist this means it is somewhat soluble in water (it can be extracted from the olive leaf by hot water)- Oleuropein is much bigger than Oleocanthal (C25H32O13)

Oleocanthal(2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl(3S,4E)-4-formyl-3-(2-oxoethyl)hex-4-enoate) is a mono-alcohol with two ketone groups and an ester bridge. This means it is less soluble in water (thats why it is found in the oil rather than in the leaves) (C17H20O5)

Both information can be taken from WIKIPEDIA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.175.226.246 (talk) 10:17, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Aldehydes

Why is "Aldehydes" a category, yet aldehydes are not mentioned in the article? Badagnani 04:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

New compounds found in olive oil

Should we discuss the Melliou-Magiatis (colorimetric assay) method, the two new compounds found in olive oil, and their comparison with oleacein?
