The present invention provides an olive pulp biomass with a high content in phenolic antioxidants such as tyrosol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, p-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, vanillic acid, hydroxytyrosol, protocatechuic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol, beta-phenyllactic acid, p-hydroxycinnamic acid, cis-caffeic acid or trans-caffeic acid, in given concentrations. Said biomass is obtained by means of a process comprising adding a mixture of vitamin E and ascorbyl palmitate to the crushed olive paste prior to its centrifuging in order to separate the oil from the biomass. Likewise, the invention also provides formulations comprising said biomass and the use thereof in pharmaceutical, food or cosmetic applications. |
