Also table olives have been studied in its polyphenol composition (Marsilio, Campestre, & Lanza, 2001;Blekas, Vassilakis, Harizanis, Tsimidou, & Boskou, 2002;Romero, Garcı´a, Brenes, Garcı´a, & Garrido, 2002;Romero et al, 2004;Pereira et al, 2006) and antioxidant activity (Owen et al, 2003;Boskou et al, 2006;Pereira et al, 2006). Nevertheless, as far as we know, it is the first time that a study on the antioxidant potential of stoned table olives ''alcaparras'' is reported.…”
