Here, we present a protocol for a study comparing the efficacy, safety, and delivery of olive-oil-based 3CB and soybean-oil-based CoB formulations in adults requiring parenteral nutrition. The results revealed that olive-oil-based 3CBs is non-inferior and well tolerated compared to soybean formulations.

We have developed 3D coculture models for live-cell imaging in real-time of interactions among breast tumor cells and other cells in their microenvironment that impact progression to an invasive phenotype. These models can serve as preclinical screens for drugs to target paracrine-induced proteolytic, chemokine/cytokine and kinase pathways implicated in invasiveness.

This video demonstrates an in vivo technique to assess a test antigen by inducing skin inflammation in a murine model. The test antigen—a hapten in an oil/acetone solution—is topically applied to the skin of the mouse ear, and inflammation of the skin is assessed after an adequate period.
FAQs
Variation in olive variety and extraction process changes the relative amounts of skins, pulp, stones, residual oil, water, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, carbohydrates, and minerals. This variability matters chemically because results from one pomace stream may not represent another, especially when evaluating recovery yields or comparing potential uses.
Phenolic compounds are important targets because they are naturally occurring bioactive molecules associated with antioxidant value. Residual oil contributes fatty acids and other oil-related constituents, while carbohydrates and minerals broaden the material’s chemical profile. Examining these groups separately helps chemists relate composition to antioxidant recovery, oil utilization, or functional-ingredient development.
Because pomace contains substantial water, chemical processing must consider the material as a moisture-rich stream rather than a dry solid. That condition is relevant to recovery strategies and environmental assessment: the same residue presents both a resource for chemical valorization and a burden requiring responsible management.
Chemical analysis seeks to establish the proportions and presence of major constituents, including phenolic compounds, fatty acids, carbohydrates, minerals, residual oil, and other bioactive molecules. The resulting profile supports decisions about whether a sample is better suited to antioxidant recovery, oil utilization, functional-ingredient development, composting, or energy-related processing.
Processing may focus on recovering antioxidants, extracting residual oils, or developing functional ingredients from the material’s naturally occurring compounds. Other approaches direct the residue toward composting, energy generation, or broader bioproduct development. Selecting among these goals depends on the composition of the pomace and the intended balance between resource recovery and waste reduction.
Olive pomace research connects chemical characterization with the conversion of a production residue into useful products or processes. Recovery of antioxidants, oils, and functional ingredients can create value from existing organic matter, while composting and energy generation offer additional pathways. These applications help reduce the environmental burden associated with this moisture-rich waste stream.
