Abstract
Abstract Elenolic acid glucoside and demethyloleuropein are glucosylated derivatives of oleuropein which accumulate during olive ( Olea europaea ) maturation. These compounds appear simultaneously with a fall in oleuropein content and an increase in esterase activity. This enzyme may thus be responsible for the formation of the two oleuropein derivatives.
