Hydroxytyrosol prodcution with high yields

The biotechnological techniques currently used to produce hydroxytyrosol involve the addition of the tyrosine aminoacid in the culture medium. In the technology developed by the CSIC, this compound occurs directly from glucose, so it lowers production costs and also allows to increase the yield of the process.

On the other hand, hydroxytyrosol produced has a high degree of purity. And it is in that state when it has been proven that the antioxidant has more nutraceutical properties.
